TechRadar reported that Amazon usually sells the Acemagic X3 for $638.99. For the Early Prime Day promotion, the listing shows a reduced price of $575, and shoppers can tick a coupon box on the product page to save an additional $36, bringing the final price to $539. The report's deal box also displayed a $6399 figure, which conflicts with the $638.99 regular price given later in the same article; the $99.99 saving cited by TechRadar matches the $638.99 starting price, not $6,399.

The X3 is built around an AMD Ryzen 7 H 255 processor with eight cores and 16 threads, boost speeds up to 4.9GHz and a 54W power limit. It uses integrated Radeon 780M graphics, not a dedicated GPU, and comes with 16GB of LPDDR5-6400 memory and a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD. TechRadar said the storage can be upgraded to as much as 4TB, but the memory is soldered to the motherboard and cannot be increased later.

The machine runs Windows 11 Pro. Connectivity includes USB4, six USB-A ports, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.0, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2 and 2.5Gbps Ethernet, with support for three displays. According to TechRadar, the USB4 port allows an external graphics card to be connected for more demanding games and creative workloads such as 3D rendering and video editing.

The design is inspired by the Nintendo Entertainment System, with more air vents and ports than the original console. TechRadar noted that the X3 is not licensed by Nintendo. It is positioned as a compact PC for light gaming, content creation and everyday work, with retro-style looks.

TechRadar said the Radeon 780M graphics can handle lighter games and less demanding titles at 1080p. Demanding modern games at high settings would benefit from a dedicated GPU, and a desktop with a dedicated graphics card offers considerably more gaming performance and greater upgrade flexibility. The report advised buyers to skip the X3 if they expect to upgrade the memory later or want high-setting performance in modern games.

The report also listed NES-themed accessories, including an 8BitDo Retro keyboard, a matching standalone numpad and a retro-style mouse, but these are separate products from the X3 mini PC. TechRadar's recommendation was to buy the X3 for compact work, entertainment and light gaming, particularly for users who like the console-inspired appearance, while accepting the limits of soldered memory and integrated graphics.
