ACEMAGICIAN Kron Mini K1 Mini PC, Ryzen 7 5825U(Upgraded 5700U/7430U), 16GB DDR4 512GB SSD Mini Computers(up to 4.5Ghz), Light Gaming Desktop 4K Triple Display Mini Desktop Bluetooth/WiFi6/Office

Good mini PC for the price. It is good for what it is and runs applications very well. It set up easily and quickly, so no issues there. It has a very small footprint and is very quiet. It has generous ports and being capable of connecting 3 monitors is admirable, one even being a DP port. It is pretty fast for such a small PC, not the fastest, but very good for its specs.Two issues that keep this from being a 5-star review; Updates went smoothly (although when first starting the PC the updates had to be via WiFi and not the network port, per their instructions… reason unknown/not given). When doing the next system update, this particular PC would not install the update at all, even downloading the update and doing a manual update did not fix the issue. This still has not been resolved. All of the other 5 computers that are on the network updated without issue.The second issue was with networking with my other computers on the network. Using the setup user account, the miniPC would not connect to other computers on the network nor could it be seen by any of the other computers. After researching this, a second account was created and that allowed all other computers to see and connect to it. It also connected with all the other computers on the network properly. The reason for not being able to connect using the original user account is unknown still.Aside from these two issues, it appears to be a good reliable PC and I hope it is durable as well. Its benefits of having so many ports are what provided the decision to purchase.I decided to add a larger SSD and found a couple of issues. Doing a clone or migration of a new SSD and installing it in the HD0 slot did not work for me. I had to use the clone SSD in the HD1 slot before it would work. After trying different configurations, using different M.2 SSDs, I found that installing ANY SSD other than the original SSD would not work in the HD0 position. So I can only conclude that the original SSD in the HD0 slot is the only SSD that will work in the HD0 slot.I looked in the UEFI for a way to switch the boot sequence from HD0 to HD1, but that proved fruitless. Only Windows Boot Manager allowed me to switch the boot from HD0 to HD1, however, I still could not use a different M.2 SSD in the HD0 slot.Conclusion: If I ever need to change the HD0 SSD to a new drive (ie. the original SSD goes bad), I will not be able to do that. The HD0 slot will then be useless.Update:I decided to return this particular unit, which was accepted without question. I did, however, purchase another unit of the same kind (that's how much I really like this miniPC). The setup went pretty smoothly, yet when doing the Windows Updates this unit again hesitated failed the first time, yet completed OK the second attempt. I am a bit concerned about the next Windows System Update, whether or not it will actually complete without issues.Other than that, I have not had any issues with the new miniPC. I did NOT try to install the second SSD as the boot drive, but DID install it as a "storage" drive and redirected all of the Windows Library folders to go to the new drive. This is working out great.As for the next Windows System update (24H2), I'll have to see if it has a problem or not and will update this review as soon as it either completes or fails (probably next month). All other updates (ie. driver, .NET, Windows Defender, etc) completed without issue.One note in the "Product Information" for this miniPC, the specs state that this unit has 2 Thunderbolt connections, which it does NOT have. It has a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port, but that is not the same as a Thunderbolt. Thunderbolt ports have a lightening bolt next to the port. There are, however, 4 USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports and 2 USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports available.All in all, I like the miniPC, but will see how Windows System updates go in the future. I am still rating it a 4 at this time.Update after latest Windows System update KB5060829: The miniPC updated perfectly on its own, no interference needed. Therefore, I am giving this computer a 4.9 rating (it will show as a 5.0, but it did have its initial issues that required a return of the first miniPC). I do really like it and the second/replacement miniPC has been very stable and consistent in operation.

Top Mini PC – Perfect for Auto Darts and More!I'm absolutely satisfied with the k1 Mini PC! The quality is good, and the device matches the description exactly. The workmanship seems high-quality – really good for this price range.I use the Mini PC for Auto Darts, and it performs its task perfectly. Thanks to the powerful Ryzen 7 processor (up to 4.5 GHz), the software runs smoothly and reliably. With 16 GB DDR4 RAM and the 512 GB SSD, there's plenty of power and storage for additional applications.

This mini PC comes with a mounting bracket some may wan to mount on the back of their monitor, but I chose to mount it to the bottom side of my table/desk.The Ryzen 7 chip is much faster than my old processors (i3 or A10) and all the other functions seem to work as advertised. I use this PC for home office work and stock trading. And while I bought it to connect to a 4K monitor I found small letters and numbers look better on a less expensive QLED (2560x1440) or a the old types of LED monitors (1920x1080). However, I can't comment pro or con about on the graphics card when playing video games. Overall, I am happy with this product and I like the 1T SSD. I think it was priced right too.

The unit was easy to set up and works great so far but the only paperwork included is a tiny booklet stating the obvious "quick setup" procedure. But I plan on adding more RAM and there is no instruction on this. The ad says it can be expanded to 64 GB but there is no mention or suggestion of what to use, in what increments, or how or where to install it. The flashing lights are a distraction, but the unit is in a location where I can't see. There's probably a way to shut them off that I haven't discovered yet. If only there were a manual.

This thing is a powerhouse. I got it to run steam games on my living room TV, and it does a great job. Not to mention it's tiny and silent lol. Hell, it's small enough that i packed it in carry-on so I could play steam in the hotel on a recent trip.I did have an issue at the beginning with the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth not working. I reached out to tech support, they were emailing me back and helping me get everything working again.Product is grade A, tech support is grade A. I've even recommended the same machine to my mother and she loves it.

Great little computer for remote work takes up very little space and a great buy for the price

First of all, the documentation is pretty much non-existent for this pc. You're gonna need to know what you're doing a little bit if you want anything other that just out of the box. The primary issue that is not explained anywhere is that while it does have 2x M.2 2280 slots, only one of them is NVME/PCIe or SATA capable, the other one is SATA only. So if you're expecting to just get a popular NVME SSD and throw in there, it's not gonna work. I bought a Samsung EVO 990 NVME 2280 SSD to put in as an additional storage drive, but only after 2 days of research did I come to find out that it won't work. Whatever additional drive you buy is going to have to be SATA only. No fiddling with BIOS etc, would make a difference. I reached out to the company, but got no response back. That said, it's decently hardware equipped and a nice formfactor/build for the money.
