- Retro X3 mini PC combines vintage design with Zen 4 Ryzen power
- Integrated Radeon 780M GPU delivers smooth graphics without the need for a separate card
- Two DDR5-5600 SODIMM slots allow easy memory upgrades up to 128GB
Acemagic has officially launched its Retro X3 mini PC, bringing back a beige plastic case reminiscent of older systems while adding modern hardware upgrades.
The device retains the large red power button from previous models and adds a host of ports for modern connectivity.
The design deliberately reflects classic PCs from the 1980s and 1990s, with the gray casing and square silhouette evoking nostalgia for older desktop setups.
Upgraded hardware and modular expansion
The Retro X3 runs on an AMD Ryzen 7 H 255, an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture.
The CPU boosts up to 4.9GHz and is paired with an integrated Radeon 780M GPU with up to twelve compute units.
This mini PC supports modular RAM installation through dual DDR5-5600 SODIMM slots that allow up to 128GB of memory, and dual M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 SSD slots offer up to 4TB of storage.
Acemagic emphasizes a tool-free upgrade process, and it uses slide-release buttons that allow easy access to storage and memory without special tools.
On the front, users can access two USB 3.2 ports, a 3.5mm audio jack and a USB4 Type-C port capable of 40 Gbps data transfer, ensuring high-speed access for mobile workstations.
The rear panel includes an HDMI 2.1 port, a DisplayPort 2.0 port, 2.5G LAN and four USB 3.2 ports that support external displays, peripherals and high-speed wired networking.
For wireless connectivity, the Retro X3 includes Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2 and 2.5GbE, offering flexible network connectivity.
A dedicated air cooling system draws cool air from the top of the chassis and dissipates heat through side and rear vents, keeping internal temperatures stable even under load.
At just 128.2 x 128.2 x 44 mm, the mini PC is compact enough to fit on a desk without taking up too much space.
The Retro X3 is available for pre-order in China for 1,899 RMB, about $273, with no RAM or storage installed.
The device follows the previous Retro X5, but offers a slightly simpler exterior design while retaining strong internal specs.
This retro look does not affect its interior and lets users enjoy the charm of vintage design without compromising on current computing standards.
