This is a nice compact PC. The M2 SSD drive is a non branded unit so no doubt time will tell, at the moment it appears to work well so no complaints.
The unit only has 3 USB ports so you may want to consider buying a USB hub. Overall this unit is a great replacement for your desktop PC, you won’t be disappointed.
Just editing this review. I had a glitch with my pc but the costumer service was brilliant. I received full support to fix and a full refund.
Issues can happen with any product, so having this support from them has absolutely won me over. Will buy again from them
Describing the computer as slow is an understatement. Using the internet is impossible
No costumer support! Make sure not to buy. It is a waste of money
After the initial disappoint of faulty supplied HDMI and Windows 11 Home edition not the PRO as advertised, both issues were resolved to my satisfaction by the seller
Bought the unit for its great price at time of purchase
The points that stood out for me were the
PRO edition of Windows 11
16 GB of DDR5 RAM
512 GB SSD
UHD Graphics
I was quite impressed with the boot time (about 5 seconds and you’re ready to go!)
Overall speed is quite fast, don’t understand why some complain at the N95 clock speeds
The quoted base frequency is 1.7 GHz (boost is up to 3.4 GHz), just put the unit in power mode for higher speeds, with only 15W power consumption you can easily run this unit at higher speeds and always powered on if you want
16 GB DDR5 RAM size and speed is beneficial for the graphics chip (the integrated ones normally grab a lot of RAM! also, as for web browsers that have multiple tabs open)
The UHD graphics look great on my 4K+ monitor (don’t use the other 2 HDMI outputs)
The USB 3-A ports can easily support hub/adaptor for use with other types of port if required (e.g. USB-C)
I use the Wi-Fi to connect to the internet, other computers, and printers, although the LANs may be useful in some cases) Wi-Fi is also fast (its connected to an extender at the moment)
The installed SSD is fast and large enough for most purpose
Overall, this is a pretty fast little machine that I delighted with; I can’t comment on gaming as I last did this when Space Invaders was out (this unit has cost a lot less than graphic cards I have installed on my PCs)
Ideal for general computing purposes and it takes up minimum space
At least I won’t have the cost of any upgrading which I have tended to do with other PCs
Purchased an extended 3-year warranty for only 18 (hope I don’t need it)
Bought this as a home router/firewall to replace the braindead router that comes with Community Fibre. Its compatible with OPNSense/pfsense. Very happy. Its tiny and quiet. Easily handles routing gigabit internet traffic from my home network. Considering other dual NIC mini PCs are way more expensive this is a great deal.
One of the standout features is the sleek design of the Mini PC. It’s not only compact and space-efficient but also adds a touch of modern elegance to my media center. The fanless design ensures silent operation, creating an immersive and disturbance-free environment for enjoying movies and music.
In conclusion, the ACEMAGICIAN T8Plus Mini PC has exceeded my expectations as a media server. Its powerful specifications, ample storage, and reliable performance make it a standout choice for anyone looking to elevate their media experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this Mini PC to fellow media enthusiasts — it’s a true game-changer!
If you know about computerized telescope mounts for accurate tracking in astrophotography you’ll know that weight is absolutely paramount. Also you want a controller PC that is as small as possible and this delivers on both counts. It does not need to be mounted on a tripod leg with loads of trailing wires but this is so small/light it can be connected directly to the main telescope and with the guidescope can be carried on the moving mount – the only “cable” trailing from it will then be the 12V power cable.
Because it’s so small it’s true that just 3 USB is “tight”. That would be one for the main camera,. one for the guide camera and one for connection to the mount (though the latter might be done via local wifi hot-spot depending on the mount). But if 3 USB is not enough you can get small/square USB3 hubs that can just “ride on top” to expand the number of USB ports for the lower speed connections (but make a direct connection for the camera feeds).
Setup of the PC was easy and it was easy to name it and create an Admin user for the Windows 11 Pro. Because it is “Pro” it means it supports Remote Desktop Protocol server so it’s trivial to arrange for the user interface to be from another PC/laptop at which point you know longer need a mouse/keyboard/monitor directly connected to it. On Youtube there are videos showing how to setup the RDP on a telescop PC so the login can be made without password being required – so it’s incredibly quick to connect to the machine.
The 256GB gives tons of space for installing all the well known astrophotography programs like NINA, PHD2, ASCOM, SharpCap, etc, etc and with everything need for telescope operation installed there was still about 190GB for data capture of astronomy images that the system captures.
Speed wise it is, of course, a small/limited PC but I actually found it surprisingly fast and in use it doesn’t really “feel” any slower than a much higher specification laptop I have previously used for telescope control.
TL;DR – this is an amazing device at an amazing price and it’s incredibly small and light for when size/weight really matters. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it!
