Rick’s Daily Pick: AceMagic M5 14500HX Mini PC w/ Windows 11 Pro

Posted on May 20, 2026

Note: The links in this post are affiliate links.

My “Pick” for today is this fantastic AceMagic M5 14500HX Mini PC w/ Windows 11 Pro.

I love these mini PCs because they pack full desktop power into a case that’s about the size of an extra-thick hardback book.

If you’re looking for a powerful desktop PC that won’t take up a ton of desk space, this is the one. It comes loaded with Windows 11 Pro which is a really nice bonus.
