These little low power Mini PCs have been quite popular lately and this one from Firebat is quite unique in that it has a 1.9" LCD display on the front that can display information like the date/time, CPU/RAM/fan stats, as well as custom backgrounds and more that can easily be customised within Windows.

This is a good option if you want a small media player as it supports H.265 and AV1 hardware decoding, dual 4K output via HDMI and comes with activated Windows 11 and easily upgradeable RAM/storage. It's good for classic gaming and emulation too.

This one uses the Intel 12th Gen Alder Lake N100 4 core, 4 thread CPU with a single stick of 16GB DDR4 RAM and 512GB SSD storage with both an M.2 NVMe and M.2 SATA slot available. In terms of ports there's two HDMI 2.0 ports with 4K@60Hz support, dual Gigabit LAN, 2x USB 3.0, 2x USB 2.0 and a headphone jack. For cooling there's an inbuilt fan and a magnetic side cover for easy SSD/RAM access.

You can checkout a review from ETA Prime on the Acemagic S1 that's basically the same except the Acemagic has the weaker Intel N95, so the performance isn't as good as the Firebat.

    The screen bit is a nice idea, hopefully more mini pc makers adopt it

      I know the ACEMAGIC S1 uses Realtek RTL8125 NICs so I'll assume this is the same.

      Search for Topton routers on Aliexpress. They include four Intel NICs for a similar price, however without storage and memory.

        ….. and it's too expensive.

  • countmein on 02/02/2024 - 21:50

    Noob question but why n100 is so popular? It has 4 cores, does it mean its equivalent to i5 or i7 older generations e.g 6th or even 7th?

    • Clear on 02/02/2024 - 21:55

      Low power consumption CPU that shits on the Celerons in terms of performance. Cores aren't everything - the iGPU in this beats a lot of older i5/i7 generations due to the hardware decoding among other things.

      My old i7 2600K still does a great job as a browsing and even light photoshop machine, so this should as well. 16GB RAM is also more than enough for that use case.

  • otter-raptor on 02/02/2024 - 23:47

    Can this be modified to NAS, would be good to throw a cheaper SSD for sailing the seas

    • AU1 on 03/02/2024 - 14:09

      Keep Windows, add a few USB HDD’s with DrivePool and you’d have a nice NAS easily able to run the *arrs and Plex. Equally Debian, drives, mergerfs for Plex with tone mapping.

      can be found by typing FIREBAT S1 Mini PC on their site search.

    Is the shipping really 20–30 days?

  • maverickjohn on 03/02/2024 - 09:12

    Do you think it's a clean win11 installation or worth reinstalling a clean win 11?

    I'm still worried around tracking lol

    • Panpanw on 03/02/2024 - 09:21

      tracking you for??~

      • maverickjohn on 03/02/2024 - 20:50

        If you see the link below. My suspicions were true. It's your loss if you don't clean install. Thanks to @bdl for the info.

    • Clear on 03/02/2024 - 10:13

      To be completely safe you'd be better off reinstalling. Otherwise do a virus scan.

    • ChatBard on 03/02/2024 - 10:44

      It doesn't mention if it comes with Win 11 or not.

      • Clear on 03/02/2024 - 11:45

        You might want to check the whole listing again. It most certainly does have Win11 Pro included.

    • bdl on 03/02/2024 - 14:30

      Definitely reinstall https://www.windowscentral.com/hardware/computers-desktops/s… (author is chucking a hissy fit but you get the idea)

      • maverickjohn on 03/02/2024 - 17:18

        That's exactly what I was worried about.

        • bdl on 03/02/2024 - 17:21

          It's good to reinstall any brand of PC upon purchase (if you have the ability) so you know exactly what is on there.

          • maverickjohn on 03/02/2024 - 20:48

            @bdl: This is also true but some do have drivers for unique parts.. makes it hard to get things working as good as factory reset.

            • bdl on 03/02/2024 - 21:28

              @maverickjohn: Usually if you just google the PID and VID for the devices that aren't auto-detected, you can find them

  • djevoultion on 03/02/2024 - 11:43

    This dooesnt have wifi6 whereas the n95 version linked in OP does

    • Clear on 03/02/2024 - 11:50

      Would make 0 difference given that it's dual band Wifi 6 and not tri band wifi 6E. You can easily swap the module.

  • theoaus on 03/02/2024 - 12:01

    Is this one better?

    • ldd-mn on 03/02/2024 - 14:29

      Seems like the same thing but it actually ships to me unlike the one in the OP

      • Clear on 03/02/2024 - 15:27

        It says it can't be delivered to your location? Are you in Australia?

        • ldd-mn on 03/02/2024 - 16:43

          No, NZ

  • Levelgrinder on 03/02/2024 - 18:43

    Just a PSA, its not this brand, but if you're in the market for a mini pc you should probably read this - https://www.windowscentral.com/hardware/computers-desktops/s…

    • Clear on 03/02/2024 - 18:45

      The short version is that Acemagic was using a company to create the Windows images to load onto the PCs and they came with unwanted/malicious customisations like the default search engine being changed. To be completely safe you're better off making a bootable Windows 11 USB and installing fresh on the PC.

  • theoaus on 03/02/2024 - 18:55

    @Clear what's the difference between the one you post and this one? thanks :)

  • penno2 on 03/02/2024 - 19:46

    You got my attention.

  • BigBirdy on 04/02/2024 - 18:53

    Any recommendations for a keyboard and mouse for this? Would it be best to get Bluetooth so as not to use any of the USB ports?

  • CtrlAltSpoods on 05/02/2024 - 09:53

    That's a shame about the HDMI 2.0 ports, if it were 2.1 I would have bought to test Steam Remote Play streaming in my living room from my main PC.
