Acemagic only presents the physical dimensions as 140 x 128 x 41 mm, or 5.5" x 5" x 1.6" for the almost-NES, though judging by the picture, the quasi-PlayStation ought to have quite similar measurements. The Copilot label on the latter model is quite the irony, but we'll let that slide for nostalgia's sake.
The retro-inspired mini-PCs weren't the only wares that Acemagic had on hand. The unassuming looks of the machine above belie its inner strength, as it can contain Intel Panther Lake chips up to the Intel Core Ultra X 9 388H or Core Ultra 9 386H, tuned to a 65 W TDP. The corresponding GPU is the Arc B390 either way.
The maximum RAM capacity is 96 GB, presumably spread across two 48 GB DIMMs, while storage comes by way of two M.2 NVMe slots that can handle 4 TB SSDs. The usual smattering of ports includes an OCULink connector for VR headsets, and once again, there are two Ethernet ports along with WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 wireless connectivity. This beastie measures 147 x 1447 x 39 mm, or 5.8" x 5.8" x 1.5".
In case you want something with horsepower that rivals that of a standard desktop machine, then look no further than the 120 W version of the machine above. The spec sheet is the same, but the massively higher TDP should clock higher, and most importantly, maintain high clock speeds while running lengthy tasks. Be sure to check out the gallery below for the full set of pictures.
