ACEMAGIC Vista V1

The ACEMAGIC Vista V1 is an ultra-compact mini PC sold at ultra-budget prices across a range of entry-level Intel chips: the N95, N97, and the newer N150 (Twin Lake), all with integrated Intel graphics. ACEMAGIC also sells it with an AMD Ryzen 5 3500U, which has 4 cores and 8 threads, Radeon Vega graphics, and Bluetooth 4.2; the 16GB 3500U build lists Wi-Fi 5. It ships with DDR4 and an M.2 SSD, runs Windows 11 Pro, and at 3.9 x 3.9 x 1.3 inches it tucks behind a monitor on the included VESA mount. It is built for the basics: web, office, media playback, and light or older games.

The Vista V1 drives dual 4K displays over HDMI and DisplayPort, with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a Gigabit Ethernet port for networking, and the single M.2 slot on the Intel builds takes drives up to 2TB. It has no USB-C, and memory on the Intel builds is single-channel, so this is a low-cost everyday machine rather than a performance or multitasking workhorse.

One M.2 slot on the Intel builds and no USB-C

The top N150 config pairs a quad-core chip (up to 3.6 GHz) with 16GB of DDR4 and an M.2 SSD; cheaper builds drop to the N97 or N95 and as little as 8GB RAM and 256GB. On the Intel builds the single M.2 slot takes an M.2 SATA drive up to 2TB, so storage is the easiest upgrade, and memory is single-channel. ACEMAGIC lists NVMe PCIe 3.0 support, but Robtech’s N150 unit did not detect either of two NVMe drives he tried, while one owner reports a Gen3 NVMe drive working. The 16GB Ryzen 5 3500U build has two DDR4 SO-DIMM slots and two M.2 slots, one SATA and one NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4; the 8GB 3500U build uses M.2 SATA. Shoppers weighing the N150 generation against newer budget chips can check our Wildcat Lake buyer’s guide.

For ports it has two USB 3.0, two USB 2.0, HDMI, and DisplayPort (dual 4K output), a Gigabit Ethernet jack, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a combo headphone jack. There is no USB-C port. It ships with Windows 11 Pro, and Robtech measured its small fan at 29 dBA idle and 30 dBA under load.

What reviewers found

Robtech (N150)

Robtech tested the N150 config and called it “the quietest Ace Magic Mini PC I’ve tested,” measuring 29 dBA idle and 30 dBA under load, 9W idle / 30W load, and one of the lower peak CPU temperatures he has recorded. He framed the chip as “a huge 25% improvement over the N100” (roughly 25% in DX12 and 20% in graphics), enough for emulation like Mario Kart Wii at 60 FPS and Valorant around 75 FPS at 1080p low, though heavier titles need lower resolutions. His complaints: no USB-C, slow 2666 MHz RAM, and poor Bluetooth range (reliable only to about 2.8 meters).

GhostKeyboard

GhostKeyboard also tested the N150 and stressed the size, noting it is “0.3 Liter and is literally holding in the palm of my hand,” with a peak draw of just 11W and load temperatures under 70C. He liked the look, calling it a “sleek metallic body,” and found it fine for web, 4K playback, and emulation (Wii U at a locked 60 FPS, BioShock 2 Remastered around 42 FPS at 720p), while noting that the single-channel RAM holds back performance and gaming a little.

OSReviews (N97)

OSReviews reviewed the cheaper N97 config at around $150 and was impressed that 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD come in at that price. He found it handled 4K video playback smoothly and found the fan relatively quiet (“under 20 decibels”), though he noted it is not a silent mini PC. He was candid about the build: “it is built out of plastic instead of metal.” (Robtech’s N150 unit was also plastic, so the chassis is plastic despite GhostKeyboard describing the finish as metallic.)

Customer Reviews

A verified buyer using the handle DiverDaveMC wrote “Small compact size, ultra quiet operation, solid performance, and a great price point,” and a verified buyer named Amazon Customer credited the SSD and CPU with cutting boot and load times, noting “The SSD 512GB is more than adequate regular use.” A verified buyer named Eric set expectations plainly: “It’s not superfast but if you are just using it to browse the internet it will work just fine,” and Brian K. ran one mounted behind a monitor as a kiosk.

A verified buyer named Kim D reported a hardware fault with the headphone jack: “When connected to external speakers there is line noise and a periodic ‘chirping’,” which persisted across rooms and speaker sets, and was only solved with a USB-to-audio adapter. Kim D also swapped in a faster Gen3 NVMe drive (the N150 platform does not support Gen4) and roughly tripled the read speed. The sample is small, so the audio-jack complaint is one owner’s experience and not a confirmed pattern.

A quiet budget box for web, media, and kiosk duty

Web, office, media playback, dual-4K signage or kiosk use, and light or older games all fit the N150 with 16GB of RAM. The included VESA mount handles the tuck-behind-the-monitor setup, and the M.2 slot leaves room to move up to a 2TB drive later.

It is not for anyone who needs USB-C, dual-channel RAM on an Intel build for heavier multitasking, or serious gaming performance; the integrated Intel graphics are entry-level. Readers after full desktop GPU performance in a small box can see how that end looks in our coverage of the NZXT H2 Mini PC, and for more horsepower the ACEMAGIC M1 steps up to an AMD Ryzen chip.
