Acemagic K1 review: This cheap Ryzen mini PC has one easy-to-fix weakness
The Acemagic K1 mini PC packs six Ryzen cores, lots of ports, and low power consumption. For the price, the Ryzen 5 delivers surprisingly good multi-core performance; power consumption remains low and the range of ports is just right. The device is held back by the slow SATA SSD and the soldered-in RAM.
