MAGICNUC's home ai / computer lab lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here.

Key Features

【AMD Ryzen Multi‑Core Dominance】The MAGICNUC AS1 Plus is powered by the AMD Ryzen 5 3501U processor, built on a 12nm Zen+ architecture with 4 physical cores and 8 threads (SMT). It runs at a 2.1GHz base clock and boosts up to 3.7GHz, backed by 4MB L3 cache. In Cinebench R20 multi‑threading, this APU outperforms common Intel N150, N100, and R2544 processors by over 30% – a tangible difference when you're juggling massive Excel spreadsheets, hosting Zoom meetings with dozens of Chrome tabs.
【Expandable Memory & Storage Freedom】Out of the box, you get 8GB DDR4 SODIMM RAM and a fast 256GB M.2 SATA SSD – enough for snappy boot times and application launches. But the AS1 Plus can be upgrade potential: two independent DDR4 slots support dual‑channel mode, allowing you to install up to 32GB total memory for massive data processing. Storage‑wise, apart from the pre‑installed drive, there’s an empty M.2 NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4 slot (32Gbps bandwidth) ready for a second SSD
【Triple 4K Displays & Vega Graphics】Integrated Radeon Vega 8 graphics running at 1200MHz deliver stunning 4K HEVC/H.265 hardware decoding, ensuring silky‑smooth Netflix, YouTube streaming. The video output suite is exceptional: HDMI 2.0 supports 4K@60Hz HDR, DisplayPort 1.4 also handles 4K@60Hz, and the USB‑C port outputs 1080p@60Hz
【Dual Gigabit Ethernet & High‑Speed Ports】Engineered for networking excellence, the AS1 Plus features dual Gigabit Ethernet ports with support for Jumbo Frames and Wake‑on‑LAN. This dual‑NIC setup is perfect for building a dedicated pfSense, OPNsense, iKuai, or OpenWrt firewall/router – enabling multi‑WAN load balancing, VPN gateway, or transparent network auditing.
【Wi-Fi5 & BT 5.0】For wireless convenience, it includes Wi‑Fi 5 802.11ac and Bluetooth 5.0. The external I/O is equally robust: three USB 3.2 Gen2 Type‑A ports (each up to 10Gbps) for ultra‑fast file transfers, plus a dedicated USB 2.0 port for your wireless mouse/keyboard receiver, minimizing interference and ensuring stable input
【Ultra‑Quiet Cooling, Complete Package & Unmatched After‑Sales】Housed in a compact chassis (just 1/30th the volume of a traditional tower), the AS1 Plus comes with a VESA mount for behind‑monitor installation, keeping your desk clutter‑free. Its intelligent thermal design – speed‑controlled fan – combined with a mere 15W TDP, keeps noise below 25dB even under 24/7 router or NAS workloads
