This i9-powered mini PC packs a punch, and it’s under $500 right now

Mini PCs are rarely as powerful as their desktop PC counterparts, but they tend to be pretty good for the price. But every once in a while, you can spot a powerful mini PC at an incredible price — like today.

Right now, you can grab this Acemagic F1A mini PC for just $489.30, which is a sizable 30% off its usual $699 price. (Note: The listing shows as $699, but the discount gets automatically applied at checkout.)

At the heart of this powerhouse mini PC is an Intel Core i9 processor with 14 cores and up to 5.0GHz clock speed. That’s perfectly tailored for productivity and modest gaming. But combine it with 32GB of DDR4 RAM and this thing becomes a speed devil that’s capable of multitasking all your apps and browser tabs without slowing down.

While this Acemagic mini PC doesn’t have a dedicated graphics card, it has surprisingly decent visual performance in its Core i9 processor. You should be able to play retro games, esports, and games with simpler graphics (hello, Minecraft) without issue.

There’s a 1TB SSD on board, which means you can install many apps and games and store lots of photos and videos, plus transfer them to other devices in the blink of an eye as needed.

The Acemagic F1A also supports up to three 4K@60Hz screens (via two HDMI 2.0 ports and one USB-C Gen 2 port). There are also four more USB-A ports for any other peripherals (two USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports and two USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports).

The only downside is that this deal only applies to the green model. You can alternatively grab the pink model for $499 or the black model for $580 (which also has an at-checkout-only discount).

If your home office workstation is powered by a laptop and you want a significant upgrade at a fantastic price, grab this Acemagic F1A mini PC for just $489.30 while you can.
