ACEMAGICIAN AMR5 Mini PC

The ACEMAGICIAN AMR5 Mini PC is a compact desktop that pairs an 8-core AMD Ryzen 7 5700U (one 16GB build shipped the Ryzen 7 5800U) with Radeon RX Vega 8 graphics in a 5.23 by 6.15 inch chassis. It first shipped in mid-2022, and as of mid-2026 the original AMR5-branded Amazon listings both read “Currently unavailable” with no restock date. ACEMAGIC has effectively retired the name and now sells the same Ryzen 7 5700U / 32GB DDR4 / 512GB NVMe formula under its newer S3A and Kron K1 lines. The model is discontinued, so this page covers hardware you may already own. Windows 11 Pro comes pre-installed, and the machine handles everyday productivity and light gaming. The chassis takes up to 64GB of DDR4 across two SODIMM slots and accepts a pair of 2280 NVMe SSDs of up to 2TB each. At 1.28 pounds it packs into a backpack alongside a peripheral kit for a portable workstation setup.

A mode knob up front and 64GB of upgrade room inside

The Ryzen 7 5700U is an 8-core, 16-thread Zen 3 chip that handles everyday work and light multitasking comfortably, and the integrated Radeon RX Vega 8 graphics cover light gaming and emulation but stop short of demanding titles. A knob on the chassis switches between silent, auto, and performance modes, so you can trade fan noise against sustained speed.

For ports it has four USB 3.0, a USB-C, a full-size HDMI, a DisplayPort, a Gigabit Ethernet jack, and a combo audio jack, with Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 for wireless. There is no Thunderbolt, since the 5700U platform does not support it. The chassis VESA-mounts behind a monitor, and the mount ships in the box along with a power adapter, an HDMI cable, and a manual.

Both SODIMM slots and both M.2 2280 bays are easy to reach, so the machine goes to 64GB of DDR4 and two 2TB NVMe SSDs. There is no 2.5-inch SATA bay, so every drive has to live in one of those two M.2 slots.

Reviewer Insights

Tek Syndicate on the knob and the value

Tek Syndicate highlights the ACEMAGICIAN AMR5’s gaming prowess, particularly praising its Ryzen 7 5700U processor and Vega 8 graphics. The performance knob is lauded for its control over the system’s power, with the reviewer noting, “It’s really cool to be able to turn my power up and down.”

The reviewer tested the AMR5 with various games, finding it capable for titles like Doom Eternal and multiple emulators, though more demanding games like Metro Last Light required settings adjustments. Tek Syndicate appreciates the system’s ease of use and the performance knob, reminiscent of the turbo switches on older computers. The review concludes with approval of the AMR5’s value, given its powerful APU and straightforward configuration.

Tech Guy Beau measured the temperatures

Tech Guy Beau focuses on the performance modes, which are managed by a wheel on the device. Running the unit through Cinebench in performance mode he reports temperatures “sitting at about 53 to 54 degrees C on that CPU so really really good performance regardless of the mode” and notes that in silent mode “the fans are barely on” while still posting useful benchmark scores.

On gameplay and emulation he says “in terms of gaming performance it’s going to be fantastic” and “in terms of emulation it’s going to be an emulation Powerhouse.” On daily desktop use his read is “in terms of desktop productivity it’s fantastic it’s an actually really really great machine the fact that you’re able to upgrade it very very easily add in you know double nvme is super compelling.”

TechDweeb on stress-test temperatures and street price

TechDweeb reviewed the lower-tier Ryzen 5 5600U configuration of the same chassis, which is useful for buyers shopping the used market today since several CPU SKUs shipped under one model name. He describes it this way: “the AMR 5 midi PC is tidy like really freaking tati but don’t let its size fool you it’s a full PC that can handle your PC stuff and it can even play games surprisingly well for its size and price.” On thermals under a sustained load he reports “the 5600 you reached a maximum internal temperature of 74 degrees during my stress test at no point did it thermally throttle.” On value he notes “the cheapest that I could find this for on Amazon us is four hundred dollars for this exact configuration and at that price it’s hard to complain.”

Chigz Tech Reviews on checking the Windows activation

Chigz Tech Reviews, also covering a Ryzen 5 unit, describes the three-mode hardware switch: “you’ve got silent mode automatic mode and performance mode and you’re just twisting to select the mode you want and when you press the power button depending on what mode you have selected it will show you a certain led color to represent each of these different modes.” His overall recommendation is positive on the chassis design and modes, with the caveat that the unit “comes with windows 11 pro pre-installed and ready” although in his test sample the OS license was not yet activated, so buyers should check the activation status on whichever SKU they receive.

Four years on, a quiet 32GB desktop for office work

It suits a quiet 32GB Ryzen desktop role: browsing, office work, light Steam titles, and media playback that does not need HEVC hardware encode. Coming up on four years post-launch the Zen 3 cores no longer set any records, and everyday workloads do not push them. Anyone planning to run modern AAA titles at 1080p Ultra, drive a 4K productivity rig with heavy multitasking, or use the system for sustained video encoding should look at a newer chassis with stronger thermal headroom and a fresher iGPU.
