ACEMAGIC M1 (Ryzen 7 7735HS) lifestyle

The ACEMAGIC M1 with the Ryzen 7 7735HS is a 5-inch square desktop built around eight Zen 3+ cores and AMD’s Radeon 680M integrated graphics. Two things define it. The first is memory: every configuration ships with 24GB of LPDDR5 running at 5500MT/s, soldered directly to the board, which is an unusual amount at this price and also a ceiling you can never raise. The second is display output. HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4, and a full-function USB-C port each drive a 4K panel at 60Hz, so three monitors run off a machine that takes up less desk space than a paperback. Storage sits on two M.2 2280 slots that accept PCIe 3.0 or 4.0 NVMe drives up to 4TB combined, and networking covers 2.5GbE, Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth 5.2. Windows 11 Pro is preinstalled, and ACEMAGIC lists Ubuntu and other Linux distributions as supported.

The naming needs a word of warning, because ACEMAGIC has now shipped three different machines called the M1. This page covers the AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS version. The Intel ACEMAGIC M1 is a separate box built on Core i9 silicon with USB4 and socketed DDR4, and the earlier Ryzen 7 6800H M1 used DDR5 SO-DIMMs plus a 2.5-inch SATA bay, neither of which this generation has. ACEMAGIC also sells the exact machine on this page under its alternate ACEMAGICIAN brand as the “Matrix Mini M1”; the company’s own product page uses that name for the 7735HS board, so the two listings are the same hardware at different prices.

Detailed Insights into the ACEMAGIC M1 (Ryzen 7 7735HS)

The chassis measures 128.2 x 128.2 x 41mm (5.05 x 5.05 x 1.61 inches) in matte black or silver. The front face carries a USB-C port, two USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports rated at 10Gbps, a 3.5mm combo audio jack, and the power button, with vent slots down each side. The rear adds four more USB-A ports, these at USB 3.2 Gen 1 speed (5Gbps), alongside the 2.5GbE jack, DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.0, and the barrel power input. One of those numbers is unsettled: the spec table on ACEMAGIC’s own product page lists the port as DisplayPort 1.4, while several of the company’s own listing graphics label it DisplayPort 2.0, and the teardown video below calls it 2.0 too. This page follows the 1.4 figure from the written spec table, and the stated output is 4K@60Hz either way. That is seven USB ports total on a box this size, which is the M1’s most practical advantage over the many mini PCs that stop at four. Screw points on the underside take the bundled VESA bracket, and ACEMAGIC ships a 19V/3.42A (65W) adapter, an HDMI cable, and the mounting screws in the box.

Performance sits where a 2023 Zen 3+ part lands in 2026. The Ryzen 7 7735HS is a Rembrandt-R chip on TSMC’s 6nm process with 8 cores, 16 threads, a 3.2GHz base clock, and a 4.75GHz boost, and it scores around 24,300 on PassMark. That is close to the Ryzen 7 6800H it replaces (roughly 23,600), while the Zen 4 Ryzen 7 7840HS scores about 19 percent higher at roughly 28,900 and current Ryzen AI 300 parts sit higher again (the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 lands near 35,500). The Radeon 680M is the same story: 12 RDNA 2 compute units running up to 2200MHz, PassMark G3D around 4,000, against roughly 6,800 for the Radeon 780M in newer AMD mini PCs. For browser work, spreadsheets, video calls across three monitors, 4K playback, and older or lighter games, that gap does not matter much. For sustained rendering or anything approaching modern AAA gaming, it does.

Thermal headroom is the other thing worth weighing. AMD rates the 7735HS with a default TDP of 35W to 54W, and ACEMAGIC pairs it with a 19V/3.42A (65W) adapter in a chassis whose interior volume is under a liter. ACEMAGIC does not publish the TDP it configures the chip to run at, so the sustained-load ceiling in this chassis is not a published figure. The cooling behind it is conventional and, judging by the teardown below, tidy: a single fan sits over a finned heatsink block, with thermal paste on the processor, thick pads bridging the board around it, and a separate pad on the primary SSD. No publication has published measured noise or temperature figures for this configuration, so treat ACEMAGIC’s own 38 dB marketing claim as a vendor number rather than a tested one.

Expansion is deliberately split. Storage is generous, with two M.2 2280 slots that both take PCIe 3.0 or 4.0 NVMe drives and a stated 4TB combined ceiling, and ACEMAGIC states plainly that SATA SSDs and 2.5-inch drives are not supported, so the cheap route to bulk storage is closed. Memory is the opposite: the 24GB of LPDDR5 is soldered, so the configuration you buy is the configuration you keep for the life of the machine. Anyone who expects to want 32GB or 64GB later should shop a SO-DIMM box instead.

Independent Reviews

PBKreviews opened up the 24GB / 512GB configuration and walked its internals. The count and placement of ports in that video match ACEMAGIC’s own listing: a USB-C port, two USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports, an audio jack, and the power button on the front, and HDMI, DisplayPort, the 2.5 gigabit LAN port, four USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, and the DC jack on the back. Getting inside means peeling off four adhesive rubber feet, removing four Phillips screws, and separating the bottom assembly while the power jack stays screwed down and the Wi-Fi antenna cables stay attached to the housing. Under the heatsink the teardown shows thermal paste over the processor and thick thermal pads flanking it, with the RAM chips sitting beside the die.

Two of those findings are the ones that should shape a buying decision. On storage the review confirms the headline expansion claim: “There are two M.2 slots which support PCIe 3.0 and 4.0 and you can use a total of 4 terabytes.” On memory it is equally direct: “The RAM is soldered to the board, so it’s not user replaceable or expandable.” The serviceability that remains gets a positive verdict: “When it comes to taking this apart to replace parts like the SSD or the power jack, it’s pretty simple to do and requires minimal effort.” The closing placement of the machine lines up with the silicon: “Overall, this mini PC is great for work at home, average gaming, and for home theater setups.”

Beyond that teardown, independent coverage of the 7735HS M1 is thin, and what does surface needs care. Sites publishing under the “ACEMAGIC M1” name repeat the chassis specifications with errors (counting four USB-A ports when there are six, for instance), and no publication we could find has run measured benchmarks on this configuration. One of the Amazon star averages needs the same care: the ACEMAGICIAN-branded listing shows more than 1,800 ratings, but its review pool runs back to March 2023, months before AMD shipped this chip, and several of those reviews name a different machine (the AceMagician AM06 Pro, a Ryzen 5 box with DDR4 SO-DIMMs and a 2.5-inch SATA bay). That average is not describing this hardware. The two ACEMAGIC-branded listings do carry buyer feedback about this machine.

Customer Reviews

Buyers of the silver 24GB / 1TB configuration rate it 3.9 stars across 53 ratings, and that average sits between two clusters rather than in the middle of one: 61 percent left five stars, 18 percent left one.

The positive reviews agree on what the machine does well. JDW, a verified buyer in April 2026, came from an older ACEMAGIC and moves this one between a 49-inch curved 4K display and two TVs, running creative applications with “17 other browser tabs open” without hitting a wall. He singles out the memory: “super refreshing to find this machine packed with 24GB during this specific period of time with AI causing ram prices to skyrocket”. His summary covers the software as much as the hardware: “No junk software, no sketchy 3rd party ‘optimizations,’ just a clean, functional, space saving PC for work and play.” LA, in April 2026, reports that “This computer is super fast and quiet. I have two monitors attached and they work flawlessly”, and David runs one as a TV-connected media box in July 2026: “Very snappy response to anything I have asked it to do.”

The one-star cluster is about what happens after something breaks rather than about day-one performance. One June 2026 buyer, christopher simcox, opens with “Great little package with impressive specs” and then reports the HDMI port dying at six months, “which made using 2 monitors impossible”. His complaint is the support that followed: he wrote back that the port was still dead, and “Two days later I got an email saying they were glad my problem was resolved.” STEPHEN hit a problem at the same six-month mark in July 2026 and describes support as “a absolute joke making every excuse not to offer a fix or replacements or even a return call”. On the 512GB listing, which sits at 4.4 stars across 205 ratings, the buyer h1944s returned the machine inside two weeks: “HDD died after 10 days!!!”

Component failures happen at every price. What stands out in these reviews is what came after the failure: the buyers who needed warranty help describe a slow, circular process, and that is the risk to weigh against the specification sheet.

Conclusion

The 7735HS M1 makes sense for a specific buyer: someone who wants a small three-monitor desktop with fast networking and plenty of ports, who values 24GB of memory arriving in the box over the ability to add more later, and whose workload is productivity, media, and light gaming rather than sustained rendering. The dual M.2 slots give it real storage runway, the 2.5GbE port suits a NAS or home-lab desk, and the VESA bracket hides it behind a monitor. Within those limits it is a well-equipped machine.

The reasons to look elsewhere are just as clear. Soldered memory is a hard ceiling, the missing SATA bay closes off cheap bulk storage, and the Zen 3+ silicon is three years old, so a Zen 4 or Ryzen AI box will pull ahead on both CPU and integrated graphics. Buyers who want upgradeable RAM in a similar footprint should compare the Intel ACEMAGIC M1, those building an always-on Linux machine can start with our roundup of Linux-friendly mini PCs, and anyone weighing this against the wider market can use the Mini PC Comparison Chart.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you upgrade the RAM in the ACEMAGIC M1 with Ryzen 7 7735HS?

No. The 24GB of LPDDR5-5500 is soldered directly to the motherboard, and ACEMAGIC states it cannot be upgraded. A teardown by PBKreviews confirms it, showing the memory chips soldered to the board beside the processor. Whichever configuration you buy is the memory the machine keeps.

How much storage can the ACEMAGIC M1 take?

The M1 has two M.2 2280 slots that accept PCIe 3.0 or 4.0 NVMe SSDs, for a stated maximum of 4TB across both. One slot ships filled with either a 512GB or 1TB drive depending on the configuration. There is no SATA port and no 2.5-inch drive bay, so every storage upgrade has to be an M.2 NVMe drive.

How many monitors can the ACEMAGIC M1 drive?

Three, each at 4K and 60Hz. The outputs are HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4, and a full-function USB-C port that carries DisplayPort 1.4 alongside 10Gbps data.

Is the Ryzen 7 7735HS still worth buying in 2026?

It depends on the workload. The 7735HS is a Zen 3+ part that AMD launched in Q2 2023, with 8 cores, 16 threads, and a PassMark score around 24,300. The Zen 4 Ryzen 7 7840HS scores about 19 percent higher, current Ryzen AI 300 chips higher still, and the Radeon 680M graphics trail the newer Radeon 780M by a wide margin (roughly 4,000 versus 6,800 on PassMark G3D). For office work, multi-monitor productivity, media playback, and light gaming it remains capable; for sustained rendering or modern AAA gaming, newer silicon is the better buy.

What ports does the ACEMAGIC M1 have?

Seven USB ports in total: two USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) and one USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 on the front, plus four USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gbps) on the rear. The rear also carries HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4, a 2.5GbE RJ45 jack, and the DC power input, and the front adds a 3.5mm combo audio jack. There is no USB4, Thunderbolt, card reader, or OCuLink connector.

Is the ACEMAGICIAN Matrix Mini M1 the same machine?

Yes. ACEMAGIC’s own product page for the Ryzen 7 7735HS M1 uses “Matrix Mini M1” as the product name, and the ACEMAGICIAN-branded listing carries the identical specification: 7735HS, 24GB LPDDR5, dual M.2 2280 slots, triple 4K output, Wi-Fi 6, and the same 128.2 x 128.2 x 41mm chassis. It is the same hardware sold under the company’s alternate brand.

How is this M1 different from the older 6800H version?

The mainboard changed. The earlier Ryzen 7 6800H M1 used replaceable DDR5 SO-DIMM memory, a single M.2 slot, and a 2.5-inch SATA bay. This 7735HS generation solders 24GB of LPDDR5 to the board, adds a second M.2 slot, and drops SATA support entirely. Both use the same Radeon 680M graphics, so the practical difference is expansion rather than speed.
