NES-a-like mini PC brings modern chips to the classic Nintendo case design — Ryzen AI 9 CPU, Radeon 890M iGPU should make it a decent all-round system

A Chinese device maker, Acemagic, is introducing a mini PC named Retro X5 that resembles the classic Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) design. The mini PC features an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor with 12 cores and 24 threads, along with a Radeon 890M iGPU. It is designed for classic gaming and may come with a non-Windows OS/UI like Batocera Linux or SteamOS. The Retro X5 supports expandable memory, multiple display outputs, and high-speed connectivity, and is expected to offer a unique launcher called RetroPlay Box. Acemagic aims to capitalize on the retro-gaming trend with this modern mini PC.
