BOSGAME E7 Mini PC, Intel Core 3 100U 16GB DDR4 512GB PCIe SSD

I bought 1, then immediately bought a 2nd. Like all 'fresh' windows devices it took half a day to complete all the necessary updates...but in the end it is a perfect device for 'ordinary' users replacing older pcs. [ I am not a gamer. ] -- The wifi is capable of at least 600 mbs down and 40 up...that's our home network speed. It has multiple HDMI out ports which could be handy for a lot of users. The very small size is a huge plus. I velcro'd mine to the back of the display. Half a terrabite of storage is plenty for me...but a cable is included to add more storage internally.

Seems to be a solid PC. There were a ton of windows 11 updates that seemed to take forever, probably a solid 3-4 hours , but the initial setup was the biggest hurdle. This machine is being used as a Blue Iris NVR server, with external USB 3.2 storage. Speeds and responsiveness are good, 20+ 4k cameras online out as of right now with about 40 total being added over the next couple weeks to this box. Dual LAN was a huge reason I bought this aside from the price and best bang for the buck for Core i5 12600, 32gb RAM, and 512gb PCIe SSD. CPU average 5-9% and memory usage 44% is ok for 20 - 4k cameras currently on Blu Iris. Also running on this PC is Codeproject AI for license plate recognition on 1 camera…..seems to be keeping up fine with no real struggles. If I anticipate or expect to have any trouble, it will be with accessing the external storage for recording files and playback to the USB 3.2 external 12tb NVR storage. Throughput for copying data from PC to USB 3.2 external was showing up slower than I expected at 160MB, but not sure if it’s the PC or the external 3.2 USB drive….need to explore that issue more. Love the low power consumption 45watts, if these don’t cut it as NVR’s I’ll repurpose as replacements for some docker apps running on higher power machines and be able to recoup initial cost in lower utility bills. In general I wish the mini PC makers would step up from 1gb to10gb network ports this would make using a NAS or SAN a really attractive option for fast external storage for these devices.

I was surprised with this unit. I use it connected to a tv. It handles surfing, streaming movies, etc. it handles it very well. The set up time is tolerable and it allows apps to help connect to your other systems, share passwords and stuff. Pretty seamless if you ask me. If you are shopping for an inexpensive auxiliary system, I recommend it.

So first off yes, this is a mini PC so it has limitations. BUT, it is surprisingly capable. It can effortlessly do all the usual PC things, running various programs and browsers and streaming etc. Comes with Win11 which is solid now. The surprising part was how good it was for gaming. Now look, this won't be running AAA titles, but it runs a surprising number of games. I even ran a few MMOs, including Star Trek Online and Star Wars The Old Republic with no problems. Yes, you do have to adjust graphics settings but it is powerful enough to still look pretty good. This little guy is a secondary PC that was originally meant for streaming and such, but it's so capable I use it about every day. (I have an actual gaming PC so I when I say it is surprisingly good, I mean it.) Thing is pretty fast, which is nice. Wifi connection works great as expected. I genuinely love this Lil guy.

I was surpised about the specs of this PC for its price, it is a great deal! Yes, as some others reviews stated... there are many updates at the beginning but after that it performs really good. Great for home or office work... not for gaming. Totally recomended!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

This is the smallest computer I have ever seen. It came with a mount to attach to the back of my monitor. It works fast and performs great. Set up was easy but it took 3 hours to upload updates. I love it and would buy more. Great price too.

I think this is a hidden gem! Was always skeptical of these mini-PCs but needed a new computer and thought I'd try one. Never going back to big desktops again. This is hung on the back of my monitor (see pics), has a satisfactory number of USB ports, 2 HDMI ports, a C port, headphone jack, 16 GB memory and a 512 GB SSD (with an empty slot for another. Wi-Fi is great too. Got it on sale for less than $160. I'm not a gamer, but for less than a big desktop, gamers have plenty of choices too for well under $500. If you just use your computer for general purposes, this is the style to go for! Very happy with this purchase.

While this Mini PC suits my needs fine, I do find the listing to be a bit misleading. While the CPU, RAM, and storage amount was all accurate, the claims of WiFi 6e and 2.5 GB/s Ethernet are not. The WiFi chip included on my device was an Intel AX201 which does NOT support 6Ghz WiFi. While it does support WiFi 6, it does not support 6GHz WiFi, therefor it is not WiFi 6e compatible (just WiFi 6). I was able to confirm the lack of WiFi 6e support as it was unable to scan for my 6GHz network, despite being just a few feet away from the router with line of sight to it. The Ethernet controller (Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8211/8411) also does not seem to support the claimed 2.5 GB/s speeds, only going up to 1 GB/s. After a bit of searching, the datasheet for this Ethernet controller only shows 10/100/1000 mbps speeds, not the claimed 2500mbps (2.5 GB/s) on either Ethernet port. On a more positive note, the whole box seems to stay very cool under load. This is helped by the CPU being very power efficient as well. For my needs, the integrated graphics is able to handle transcoding multiple videos at the same time, so it's perfect as far as I'm concerned. I'm just a bit disappointed by the misleading internet specs. The BIOS was also not locked down at all as far as I can tell, so replacing the copy of Windows 11 with Debian Linux was easy enough Overall, I think this whole mini PC is a good value. Similar desktop computers with the same CPU ran for $100-$200 more than what I purchased this PC for on sale. If the lack of WiFi 6e and 2.5 GB/s internet is not a dealbreaker for you, I would recommend this PC for low power server tasks like transcoding video, Home Assistant, or potentially even a Minecraft server.

An excellent little machine that has performed very well as a home media player and VM hosting platform. It happily transcodes multiple 4k streams without breaking a sweat. For something so compact, the CPU choice paired with generous ram makes it a very flexible and capable machine.

Excellent mini pc. The only problème, the ram was bad. After replacement, works like charm

Ca fait un ans et demi, aucun problème à date. Boot rapide, rien de négatif à redire

It’s so small and quiet, you hardly notice it is there. Fulfills all my needs and is fairly fast. For the price, this is awesome. Highly recommended.

Bought this little PC to replace me aging desktop. Compact and light, which can be mounted at the back of the LCD. Pros: - Compare and light weight - 32Gb RAM and good for memory hungry application and Virtual Machines. - Spare SSD slot for additional storage Cons - Initial setup and update takes 30 mins, but took me awhile to find out why device manager was blocked with "the app is blocked for your protection" - Limited number of USB ports. - Noisy fans.
