KAMRUI Mini PC ，Windows 11 Pro AMD Ryzen7 5825U 8C/16T Processor Up to 4.5Ghz, 16GB DDR4 512GB SSD,Small Form Factor Desktop Computer, Support 4K UHD, WiFi/BT, Home Server, Office, Business

I was looking for a compact yet powerful solution for my home office, where I often multitask between work, streaming, and some casual gaming. This Mini PC caught my eye, and it’s exceeded my expectations! With the Ryzen 7 processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD, this mini PC is impressively fast and responsive. It handles everything I need, from running multiple apps to streaming smoothly in 4K. The setup is simple, and the small design makes it easy to fit anywhere, even mounting it behind my screen for a clean look. Connectivity is a breeze too—Bluetooth and dual-band WiFi make sure my devices stay connected without a hitch, It come with some Usb and hdmi ports and looks great. Plus, it’s remarkably quiet, so I can stay focused without distraction. Whether I’m working, watching movies, or gaming, it performs perfectly, and for the price, it’s one of the best investments I’ve made. I’d highly recommend this pc!

These are great little PCs for the money. They are quiet and perform general office tasks like spreadsheets, word processing, and internet very well. I have also done some light gaming (strategy games like Sid Meyers Civilization for example) and it ran well. I have bought a few of these over the last year or so (2 Ryzen 5 and one Ryzen 7) to replace older windows 10 desktops in our office and home. I had trouble with the Ryzen 7 unit not starting properly after a few months and after some correspondence with tech support they exchanged the unit with a new one that seems to work well. The included instructions could be better and they are not that well built (mostly plastic) but the specs are good, the ports are sufficient and the price is hard to beat. I was also happy about the Tech Support. (I was surprised that they even had tech support at this price!)

Using this unit for Proxmox. So far, I have no complaints for that. Proxmox 8+ has drivers for both NICs. The 1 gigabit NIC is a Realtek, and the 2.5 gigabit port is powered by the Intel i226-V (Rev 4) chip. The unit is very efficient, and at low CPU usage, it's almost silent. In BIOS, find and set AMD CBS/Fch common options/ac power loss options/ac loss control -> Always on to turn on the unit as soon as power is supplied without having to press the power button. It comes with a very plain AMI-based BIOS. No fancy graphics. The unit also comes with Windows 11 Pro preinstalled. I only used it for a bit, but it seems pretty snappy for desktop use. I do strongly suggest supplying your own clean version of Windows and license, because this thing actually shipped with the "Synaptics.exe" worm that a number of these cheap Mini PCs seem to be infected by. Windows Defender caught it immediately. After this, I put on a clean version of Win11 and scanned it with ESET, including UEFI, and the firmware and OS seemed clean. The license key is in the firmware, and so I had no issue activating a fresh install. Do note that the key classified as "VOLUME_MAK", a volume license, so take that for what it's worth. It activated for me, but there's no telling if future activations will work.

Review - KAMRUI Mini PC - AMD Ryzen 5 5500U 6C/12T Processor Up to 4.0Ghz, 16GB DDR4, 512GB SSD - EXECUTIVE SUMMARY - I’m quite pleased with this budget friendly Kamrui brand AMD Ryzen 5 5500U CPU based tiny computer. See my attached screenshots for verification of the hardware components inside the Kamrui AMD Ryzen 5 5500U computer. This computer comes with OEM licensed Windows 11 installed. I've made windows 11 palatable by adding the - Start11 Windows application - to it to return the Win11 start menu to usability. - THE DETAILS - I have only a few qualms with, (criticisms of ), the Kamrui AMD Ryzen 5 5500U CPU computer. - First, the Kamrui AMD Ryzen 5 5500U computer runs somewhat “warm” in my opinion, with its CPU temperatures averaging about 50C (see provided HWINFO64 app screenshot). - Second, the fans inside the Kamrui AMD Ryzen 5 5500U do not seem to support PWM (pulse wide modulation) fan speed control. - Third, I have not yet been able to get into its uefi bios, most importantly to see if the uefi has fan speed control configuration in it, and also just to take a look its bios. - Fourth, without access the Kamrui AMD Ryzen 5 5500U computer’s uefi bios, and without PWM support, I have not been able to make any adjustments to the cooling fan behaviors that the Kamrui AMD Ryzen 5 5500U computer exhibits. - CONCLUSION - Despite my minor criticisms noted above, the Kamrui AMD Ryzen 5 5500U, with its 6 core 12 thread laptop type cpu (see win11 task manager screenshot), is a budget friendly keeper in my opinion.

I used it once and then let it sit for a while, then after about four months of being idle, I turned it on and it complained about a corrupted drive (even though it had been plugged in all that time - I figured the ssd had somehow lost its charge), so I replaced the ssd - customer support was no help in getting a new windows license key - installed windows and it worked. Left it alone for a month and now it boots, allows me to log in and then shuts down the HDMI display. I have a different intel based mini box by the same company that has been running consistently for ~ three years now. This one is the higher spec'd out of the two and I am extremely disappointed.

I'm a software architect and I use this PC mostly as a Linux workstation. Installing Linux was easy--all of the built-in components are supported (graphics, network, bluetooth, etc). Performance is snappy, even under heavy CPU load. Having 6 cores / 12 threads is really helpful when compiling and testing software. All CPU cores run below 20% utilization with my normal array of development tools. System temps are typically 100 - 120 degrees F. The fan (laptop-style) is nearly silent, even under heavy load. My only dislikes are cosmetic (and minor): - triangular power button on the corner of the machine is badly placed--I've hit it by accident when laying a notebook on my desk. Needs to be a normal recessed push button, on the top or front. - no USB-C on the rear. This would be helpful to attach storage drives & external monitors. - no audio jacks on the rear. This would make it cleaner when attaching permanent audio to the machine. Otherwise, this is a great little machine. I'll probably buy a couple more of these so I can maintain a Kubernetes cluster in my basement, without the need to keep this machine running 24/7. :-)

My dad isn't the most tech-savvy person, so I needed a computer that was user-friendly but could handle his everyday tasks. This Mini PC with the AMD Ryzen processor was perfect! It's small and easy to set up, even for someone not familiar with computers. The processor is fast enough to run everything smoothly, and there's plenty of storage for his files. He's also impressed with the picture quality when streaming his favorite shows. Overall, it's a great addition to his workspace and he loves it!

If you don't need large horsepower, fine. Linux and web browsing only - great. For my original intent: perfect. Most work I need to do so far (year later) - great. After last Linux update, I now have some weird booting issue that looks, acts like bios issue. NOW looking for any updates - KAMRUI has none. Should be at least a bios update for this cpu. There is no support page for this model that I can see. There Is an update at another minipcxxxx site; various results from users. I have been way beyond newbie in Linux and Windows for decades. Both sons are pros. I have two of there systems. (And 24/7 server and beefy PC desktop. And another house with 2x all this in another state.) This is no longer worth the effort. If you want any future support for a cheap pc, just buy a cheap Dell or other mainstream brand. I can still use this - after many tries at booting. Won't even try Win11. If there was

Got this product last September. Despite all the good reviews. I don't really agree with all of them. The PC works but not as expected. Since day one it was very slow on loading up until now. It sometimes takes more than an hour and many restarts. But when it works it is not bad. It is good for browsing and watching or streaming videos. Can't connect an external hard drive or it will become very slow. I also tried a flash drive and it acted the same. I did factory reset but nothing changed.
