A new compact computer has launched on the Intel Panther Lake platform. The ACEMAGIC F2A features a Core Ultra X7 358H processor, 32GB of memory, and Arc B390 integrated graphics inside a palm sized chassis. It comes loaded with Windows 11 Pro while offering full compatibility with Linux and Ubuntu.
The core of the system relies on the Intel Core Ultra X7 358H silicon. This processor brings 16 cores and 16 threads to handle demanding multitasking and heavy computing workloads. Graphics tasks are handled by the integrated Arc B390 chip. The onboard NPU provides up to 50 TOPS of dedicated artificial intelligence compute. When calculating the combined performance of the processor, graphics, and NPU, the entire system delivers up to 180 TOPS of local AI capacity. That gives users plenty of muscle for local machine learning workflows without taking up desk space.
ACEMAGIC kept the physical footprint tiny. The chassis measures 128 by 128 by 37 millimeters, letting it sit on a crowded desk or mount behind a screen without getting in the way. Inside, you get 32GB of fast LPDDR5X memory right out of the box. Storage is handled by a 1TB NVMe solid state drive, providing plenty of room for large project files, games, and fast boot times.
Connectivity options are surprisingly generous for a device this small. The front and rear panels house an HDMI 2.1 port, a DisplayPort connection, standard USB Type A ports, a full featured USB C connection, and a high speed USB4 Type C port. That USB4 port reaches transfer speeds up to 40Gbps. In total, the system can power up to 4 external monitors at the same time. Networking is also strong, thanks to dual 2.5G ethernet ports for high bandwidth local networks. The machine gives home lab builders and office power users plenty of flexibility straight from day 1.
