The ACEMAGIC F9A MiniPC doesn’t yet have a price or a precise launch date. However, we do have its almost complete specifications. The MiniPC features a rather unique metal chassis measuring 15.8 cm wide and 15.8 cm deep, and 8.5 cm thick. This “2-liter” form factor hides a few surprises.
The chip inside this Acemagic F9A will come as no surprise given its intended use: local AI. It features an AMD Strix Halo Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 with 16 cores, 32 threads based on the Zen 5 architecture, and, most importantly, its RDNA 3.5 integrated graphics capable of handling large LLMs. The chip also includes an XDNA 2 NPU with 50 TOPS of compute capacity.
To complement all of this, there’s no less than 128GB of LPDDR5x-8000 RAM. The classic recipe for supporting the graphics card for AI applications. No surprises here then; it’s the usual formula we’ve seen for a while now. Storage is provided by two M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe 4.0 x4 slots. Again, this is quite standard. Connectivity is comprehensive, with an Oculink PCIe 4.0 x4 port, two USB 4.0 ports, two 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports, an HDMI 2.1 port, three USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A ports, a 3.5mm combo audio jack, and even a microSDXC card reader.
The Acemagic F9A will offer a Copilot function
Note that the front panel features a Copilot button in addition to the start button. This arrangement, still rather odd because it will undoubtedly lead to handling errors, offers a clue as to the device’s intended use.
Among the less common features, the first is RGB lighting that runs around the chassis with dynamic control. This seems like an odd choice given the F9A’s very professional focus, but it could potentially be linked to specific uses. There’s also a set of four microphones on the front panel for voice control. Acemagic promises reduced ambient noise and the ability to make video calls. Two minimalist 2-watt internal speakers also provide sound management. This addition suggests a specific use case: you press a button, dictate your question, and receive a spoken response. This could potentially be accompanied by RGB visual cues. The Acemagic F9A also offers Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 for fast wireless connections and the use of peripherals.
This new model represents a significant step up in quality and shares many similarities with what Beelink now offers as standard. For example, it houses its MiniPC in an aluminum alloy chassis with silver or gray finishes, and includes an internal audio system. However, there’s no mention of an onboard power supply; it will likely be external.
No price or release date has been announced for the new Acemagic F9A. The manufacturer invites interested users to visit their website to discover it soon. I have no doubt that the price will be high; the complete “Strix Halo 395+ with 128GB of RAM” packages are among the most expensive solutions on the current MiniPC market. I’m not sure what to make of it all. If the device were affordable, the “Copilot,” “microphones,” “speakers,” and “RGB” features could make sense. A MiniPC with 32GB of RAM at a pre-inflation price would be appealing with these features. But in 2026, with current prices, the only people interested in this type of device will be local AI users who won’t be particularly convinced by the gadget aspect of the offering.
