This tiny computer on Alza costs only 6 thousand! It has 16 GB RAM, 512GB SSD and ridiculous power consumption

Not everyone needs a gaming monster costing tens of thousands. If you’re looking for a quiet computer for web browsing, emails, office work, playing movies, or perhaps as a media station for your TV, the Acemagic S1 N95 for 5,990 CZK is one of the best-selling mini PCs on Alza. And when you realize that 16 GB DDR4 RAM alone costs around 3 thousand today and a 512GB SSD another 1,600 CZK – the entire computer with Windows 11 Pro for less than 6 thousand starts to make sense.

Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense if you need a quiet, energy-efficient computer for office work, multimedia, or as a PC for seniors – for 5,990 CZK, it’s a complete solution.
⚠️ Consider carefully if you want to play modern games or work with demanding programs – the Intel N95 is purely an office processor.
💡 For 5,990 CZK you get Windows 11 Pro, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB NVMe SSD, and power consumption lower than a phone charger.

What’s inside

The Acemagic S1 has dimensions of just under 12.4 × 12.8 × 4.1 cm – it fits under a monitor, behind a TV, or on a shelf. The quad-core Intel N95 with a turbo boost up to 3.4 GHz and a TDP of 15 W handles office applications, a browser with dozens of tabs, 4K video playback, and basic photo editing. The 16 GB DDR4 memory is above standard for this class, and the 512GB NVMe SSD ensures a fast system start. On the front panel, there’s a small TFT display that shows CPU utilization, power consumption, and serves as a clock when turned off. Connectivity: HDMI (single monitor connection), 2× USB 3.0, 2× USB 2.0, gigabit LAN, WiFi 5, Bluetooth, and a 3.5mm audio jack. Powered by a 12V adapter – power consumption in practice is around 4–6 W, which is less than an LED bulb.

What 102 customers say

With a rating of 4.7 out of 5 and 94% recommendation, the Acemagic S1 is one of the most popular mini PCs on Alza. Users most often praise its miniature dimensions, quiet operation, low power consumption, and surprising responsiveness for office tasks. One reviewer uses it as a POS system, another bought it as a PC for their TV, and another for seniors for online banking and email. It’s repeatedly mentioned that for the price, it’s “unbeatable.” The option to magnetically open the cover and add a second SSD is appreciated by more experienced users.

However, criticisms are important. Several customers report that instead of the advertised Windows 11 Pro, Windows 11 Home was delivered – in such a case, it can be resolved by reinstalling (a clean installation from the Microsoft website activated the Pro version). The pre-installed system does not have Czech localization – it needs to be added in the settings, which is a matter of a few clicks, but it can be an obstacle for complete beginners. One user points out that antivirus found spyware in the pre-installed system – we recommend a clean reinstallation of Windows immediately after purchase. The display with the clock glows even after the PC is turned off, which can be annoying in a bedroom. And of course – WiFi 5 instead of WiFi 6, only one HDMI output, and the absence of USB-C.

What it’s not enough for

The Intel N95 is a processor for light work – and it’s important to know that beforehand. Forget about modern games (reviews mention it can handle Warcraft 3 or older Witcher titles, but nothing newer). The RAM has only one slot and is single-channel, which slightly limits the performance of the integrated graphics. If you need to work with multiple monitors, you only have one HDMI output available. And for creative work or development environments, the performance will be insufficient.

Verdict

The Acemagic S1 N95 for 5,990 CZK is a computer for people who want a computer – not a gaming machine, not a workstation, but a reliable, quiet, and energy-efficient PC for everyday use. For seniors, for the office, for the TV, or as a second computer for the home, it’s an excellent purchase for less than six thousand. Over 2,000 units sold and 94% recommendations confirm this. The only strong advice: after unboxing, immediately perform a clean reinstallation of Windows from an official Microsoft source – it takes 20 minutes and you’ll avoid potential issues with localization and security.
