ACEMAGIC M1A Pro+

What it is

ACEMAGIC’s Tank-chassis Strix Halo mini: 16 Zen 5 cores, Radeon 8060S (40 RDNA 3.5 CUs), 128GB onboard LPDDR5X-8000, up to three M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0×4 (to 12 TB), Wi-Fi 7, dual 2.5GbE, USB4, dual HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.0, SD reader, and a 300W external brick. Footprint ~167 × 167 × 161 mm, ~2 kg. Ships Windows 11 Pro. Side panels open for the storage bays; mode dial on the front switches Silent / Balanced / Performance with RGB feedback.

Who it is for

People who want a 24B–70B local model on a flashy assembled cube and can live with ROCm / Vulkan / llama.cpp. Wrong if you need 10GbE, a quiet sealed box, repairability, or a brand with a longer track record in this segment.

What it actually runs

• Comfortable: 24B–32B dense at usable speed on the iGPU.
• Possible: 70B-class dense and 120B-class MoE on 128GB if you accept that ~256 GB/s is the ceiling. Capacity is the product; decode is not.
• Not the win: CUDA-only stacks, training, or beating a discrete 32GB card on anything that already fits in VRAM. Ignore vendor TOPS and “RTX 4070 class” slides for LLM work.

Standout details

• Price snapshot 25 Sep 2026: ACEMAGIC US store lists 128GB + 2TB at $3,099 (from $3,699); pre-order with estimated ship around late September. Earlier launch promo was ~$2,399. Confirm config and stock before checkout—prices move.
• Memory is soldered. Same 256-bit LPDDR5X-8000 / ~256 GB/s theoretical as Framework Desktop, GMKtec EVO-X2, Beelink GTR9 Pro, and the other Halo cubes.
• Three tool-accessible M.2 slots and a mode dial are the practical differentiators. Dual 2.5GbE instead of 10GbE is the networking compromise at this ticket.
• Chassis reuses the Tank gaming cube with RGB and a performance dial. Loud under full load; external 300W brick is large relative to the box.

Honest verdict

Buy the ACEMAGIC M1A Pro+ if you want Strix Halo 128GB in a gaming cube with three M.2 bays and the current store price still makes sense. Skip it if a quieter or more established Halo mini (Framework, EVO-X2, GTR9) is available at a similar ticket, or if you need 10GbE / CUDA. Same silicon, same bandwidth limiter. Side-by-side class: Framework Desktop / EVO-X2 / GTR9 Pro.
