The ACEMAGICIAN Kron K1 is a compact mini-PC suitable for office or home productivity tasks, multimedia playback, or simple games, and its main appeal is its price. This price is made possible by using an AMD Ryzen R2544 processor, originally designed for industrial environments, but which, in terms of performance, far surpasses that of an Intel N150 processor.
This mini-PC is powered by the AMD Ryzen R2544 quad-core, 8-thread processor manufactured on a 12-nm process and also integrates a Vega 8 GPU that is significantly more powerful than Intel HD Graphics. It’s the perfect chip for office tasks, playing video at up to 4K resolution, or playing simple games.
This small machine comes with 8 GB of 3200 MHz DDR4 RAM in a single SO-DIMM slot, though there’s another free slot to expand it up to 32 GB. For storage, there are two slots for M.2 NVMe PCIe 3.02280 SSDs, one of which is populated with a 256 GB drive.
This mini PC features Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 4.2 for wireless connectivity. On the side of the case, there are 6 USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, one USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 port with video output, a 3.5 mm combo audio jack, a Gigabit Ethernet port, and two video output ports: HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.4.
Finally, the operating system is Windows 11 PRO, and a VESA mount is included among the accessories.
