ACEMAGIC was established in 2013 in Shenzhen, China. It began as a small assembler of personal computers before moving into the design of mini PCs and compact laptops. [5] By the late 2010s, the company began exporting through online marketplaces and third-party distributors. [6]
Production and design take place in Shenzhen, with distribution managed through Hong Kong-based channels.

NotebookCheck has noted steady hardware improvements in its mini PC range, while TechRadar and Ars Technica described mixed performance and build quality compared with established brands.
