The media could not be loaded. Ryzen 7 7735HS APU has a TDP rating at 54 watts, and it can be adjusted down to 35 watts. It has eight Zen 3+ cores with base clock at 3.2 GHz and can boost up to 4.75 Ghz. Being an APU, it has RDNA 2-based Radeon 680M iGPU, which comes with 12 CUs that utilize system memory for graphics. One important aspect with these Zen 3+ APUs is that they are paired with DDR5 RAM to improve system performance. For this particular model, Kamrui has gone with two sticks of DDR5-4800, making it 32 GB in total. For storage, the unit comes with a 512 GB PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe SSD.Now let’s talk about ports. On the front side, The AM08 Pro has one 3.5mm audio combo port, two USB 3.2 Type-A ports, and one 10Gbps USB Type-C port. On the back, we have two more USB 3.2 Type-A ports, two HDMI 2.0 ports, one 2.5G ethernet port, and a barrel jack for DC power.For the network connection, the AM08 Pro has strong wired and wireless capabilities. For wired ethernet, it comes with the tried-and-true RTL8125 2.5G NIC which can effortlessly perform at the rated line speed. For wireless, Realtek 8852BE is used which is capable with WiFi 6 speeds up to 1201 Mbps.On the outside, this Kamrui has a very innovative feature, which is a power button with a knob for adjusting TDP settings on the fly. This knob can be set at three settings: rotate the knob to counter-clock wise from it’s middle position, the machine will be set to Eco mode with a very conservative 30W TDP, the power indicator turns blue, and fans run almost inaudibly quiet. Rotating the knob clockwise to its middle position activates the Balanced setting with a green power indicator and the TDP will be set at 40W. Turning the knob clockwise again, the power indicator turns red, and Performance mode will be selected, the APU can run at 54W TDP with fans at full blast when doing so. I think this is a pretty unique feature since normally, adjusting TDP needs to be done from the BIOS, and that means I have to reboot the system to adjust the TDP when I feel like I need the machine to be quiet or give me the most performance, which is cumbersome. I know there are software out there that can also be used for this purpose, but having a dedicated knob for adjusting TDP instantly is still ways better than 3rd party software which may or may not work.The AM08 Pro has a very distinctive looking with its upright wedged shape. I do like the silver and grey color scheme on the body panels that add a tad of a premium feel to it. On the top of the machine, the “Kamrui” logo will flash RGB colors, which I assume can be controlled but the RGB controller software isn’t preinstalled and I can’t find it on the company’s website.From the company’s details page, it depicts a dual fan heatsink design. I was not able to tear down the machine further from what was allowed so I can’t take a deeper look into the thermal solution. More on this later in the benchmarking section.Another innovation I wasn’t expecting but fully welcomed was the tool-less side panel. The panel is hinged and held in place by two magnets, so I can very easily open it up to inspect the RAM modules and the SSD.After opening up the side panel, we can see a reserved space for a 2.5’ SATA drive, one NVMe slot, and dual DDR5 SODIMM slots.I was not able to open it up further to inspect the thermal solution, which is a shame. I tried loosening all the screws I can find, but without doing damage to the system, I can’t find my way in.The Kamrui AM08 Pro, equipped with the AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS, sets a high standard for mini PCs. It offers substantial processing power, solid graphics, and excellent energy efficiency. Its innovative mode selecting knob is a practical feature that provides users with a direct method of switching between different power settings, ensuring that it can accommodate a variety of usage scenarios with ease.Aesthetically, the unit offers a sleek and premium look. The networking capabilities, including 2.5G Ethernet and Wi-Fi 6, are on par with current industry standards, making this mini PC well-equipped for modern connectivity needs. Moreover, the unit offers a respectable selection of ports, although the total number of USB-A ports may fall short for some users.While the fan noise at full 54W TDP can be an issue for those who prefer silent operation, the sound levels during the Eco and Balanced modes are barely noticeable. Furthermore, the single NVMe slot may not be enough for users looking to expand storage capacity.In terms of performance, the Kamrui AM08 Pro shines brightly. The AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS chip offers robust performance in both single-threaded and multi-threaded tasks, making it an excellent choice for a wide range of applications from daily computing tasks to more demanding jobs. While it may not be ideal for high-end gaming due to the iGPU's limitations, it still delivers respectable frame rates at lower settings, proving its versatility.To conclude, the Kamrui AM08 Pro represents a powerful, efficient, and well-rounded mini PC option for users looking for a versatile system. It successfully balances power, aesthetics, and usability, making it a compelling choice in the current mini PC market. Despite minor setbacks, its performance metrics and user-centric design put it firmly on the map as a mini PC worth considering.

I bought this P.C as a quick and easy option to play some games on Steam and use Discord. The computer worked as intended, at first. The first problem I encountered is that the mouse never works, unless I have it unplugged from the p.c before I turn on the p.c. And then I have to plug in the mouse after the computer starts up. After about 5 months of use the light to the power button stopped working entirely. Things slowly got worse from there as certain games or applications slowly stopped working. Firstly, my browsers stopped working. They wouldn't load anything. And no amount of troubleshooting got them to work again. After a while nothing would load after the computer started. Steam and discord both wouldn't load anymore. I had to take in the p.c to get repaired as I couldn't figure out the issue. The tech guys wiped the computer clean and everything started working perfect again. However, Windows can no longer activate as it says I don't have a valid Product Key. I contacted Microsoft and they told me that I have to contact the business who sold me the p.c. I'm waiting for a response as I don't want to purchase a brand new product key for $200. I am worried that this company may be selling products with product keys that are not licensed with Microsoft.

I've had this mini computer for several months now and mainly use it for office work and light online gaming. The processing is incredibly fast and it multi tasks like a champ. Video streaming is fluid. Jamb packed with everything you need for regular use. Boots up in 20seconds flat. Very nice product. So far it's a high recommendation. Will update over time: Update - I was a little skeptical at first because KAMRUI is not a name brand I'm the US but my doubts have been eliminated. I recently had a boot up issue and Melvin at customer service responded with care. I was able to resolve the issue quickly at home. Definitely recommend this product

This is definitely an ok PC. Lack of documentation and support is a minus. It does a couple of flaky things but I can work around them. Wish there were more USB ports but a USB hub solves that. Much, much quieter than my desk side PC.
