Intel's Meteor Lake series of processors was launched in September 2023 with
a focus on mobile platforms. Multiple mini-PC vendors have utilized these
processors to market offerings in the SFF / UCFF desktop market. ACEMAGIC is
an Asian manufacturer with products in multiple categories including micro-
PCs, UCFF (ultra-compact form-factor) and SFF (small form-factor) PCs, and
notebooks. They were one of the first to market with Meteor Lake-based
desktop systems.

The ACEMAGIC F2A 125H is the entry-level version of the F2A line, equipped
with an Intel Core Ultra 5 125H processor. It is a bit larger than the
traditional NUCs, slotting it in the SFF category. However, that allows for
the processor to be operated at 65W (compared to the 28 - 40W adopted in the
UCFF systems). Read on for a comprehensive look at the performance and
features of the ACEMAGIC F2A 125H, including some comments on the pros and
cons of the higher operating power as well as other design decisions.
