Acemagic AD08 Mini PC Review: Is a Core i9 Wasted Here?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 май 2024
- TEAM SGG PATREON / somegadgetguy Acemagic AD08 Review is FINALLY done! This was a seriously delayed video for me. Dealing with malware, and taking more time to carefully clean out the computer, I've talked about this experience a lot already. Still, there's a box with a processor in it, and there's still a question I need to answer.
Is a Core i9 overkill in a system like this?

And we get to harass him!
Me liking the new colour theme/grading of this video😊
Either that or my phone's screen has finally gone wonky... Anyways, I like what I see...
Valuable content as always, sir
That pc looks cool. That looks like a camera on the top.
it;s a 5-pole/3-throw switch in the shape & physical movement of a turning knob. It changes between Silent, Auto, & Performance for the Fan Curve. The LED's behind the knob change color depending on which setting is chosen.
This would be the killer media server with that built in quick sync
Oh yeah. HUGE performance upgrade, and the iGPU would be a perfect fit for that.
I stopped at Thunderbolt 🙄 Any suggestions on something like this that would handle it
Perhaps I am over-reacting, yet I could not bring myself to buy any device from a company that ship products with malware, deliberate or not
Seen a vid the other day of an AM mini PC with the new Core Ultra in it & this unit was created almost 3 months (windows install date etc verify this) & it still had viruses & stuff on it too. I commented on this before but in the case of the one I worked on for a client, the hidden "Recovery" partition had 3 Trojans in it designed to re-infect the pc after a re-install, in addition to the other issues in the main partition.
Yup. If it's in the OS at launch, it's probably going to be in the recovery partitions. Gotta nuke the whole drive from orbit. Only way to be sure.
@@SomeGadgetGuy Kinda weird that you had to install chrome- In all the ones I've seen chrome was installed prior to setting up windows login & both the chrome.exe & updater were infected, Win defender was disabled, this one had McAfee installed but the 15 day trial was already expired on logon, & they tried to marked the "Mighty" as a AAA Gaming machine, which conned a guy I know into getting one, though most of the description differs from what he received, including in the internal packaging.
I would love a mini pc which all I need is web browsing, office tools and media consumption. Haven't found a video yet that helps me find a fit.
For most tech, I say plan a budget first and then buy as much machine as you can for that budget. Looking at the performance of different systems is kinda silly, as your described needs could be handled by a REALLY low level PC. Don't try and FIND that system first, set a budget first.
@@SomeGadgetGuy ….and to clarify, I only placed my statement on your video because I see you as a trusted RUclipsr. Half way into the video I knew that this device was too much for what I’m looking for.
Having a GMKtec K6 with a Ryzen 7 7840HS, that was under $550, it's hard to recommend this one from me. I am however increasingly more excited for the mini PC scene with Qualcomm jumping in the scene.
That 7735HS blew me away. A core i9 is a tough sell for me here too.
going with such an Intel chip and not putting in Thunderbolt seems like a miss, one of the few reasons you'd go Intel over AMD for these.
And too bad they just can't help themselves with that Malware..... still
Great work, as usual 😀
I wonder if this setup would be good for something like protools with many plug-ins?
I bet it would be. It's HUGELY more powerful than my last dedicated audio rig was.
I got a ACEMAGIC S1 and was going through for a jellyfin setup and then all these videos starting popping for the malware :(. So I wipe and installed a clean OS. Updated the router firm ware and such. ITs a great machine but this put a bad taste in my mouth for ACEMAGIC machines now.
It hit a LOT of us. I'd had good experiences before too.
Just important to use this as an opportunity to tell folks about better security practices.
Bro, you are wild for reviewing this thing even though the company purposefully installed malware on that PC.
It's still available to be sold. What are people going to find if they search for it?
Offtopic: please hurry up and test xiaomi 14 ultra's cause I'm dying with the lack of quality content on it's camera :)
