Very good mini-PC.
Highly recommend, very easy to setup and surprisingly quick games performance even at low power settings without the associated power draw of a dedicated graphics card. The magnetic detachable side right side cover can get a little warm with extended periods of high end usage however, drilling ventilation holes completely resolves (the manufactuers might want to look at that as a possible product improvement).

Great kit and Great suppo
The mini pc was bought for a gift for my daughter for Christmas was checked to make sure it worked and stored away.
Unfortunately couldn’t get it to work on Christmas morning but the WhatsApp support, even on Christmas Day, was amazing.
Very happy dad and an even happier daughter.
Although it hasn’t been pushed to the limit she is able to play Fortnite with no lag.
Thank you so very much, especially for the support.

Works grea
Works well and smoothly. I can get 60fps average on AAA title games on okay settings and most other games above 70fps. There’s also great customer service that helps out a lot.

The only thing I would like to see is the option to come with 1 TB as replacing nvme can be annoying for some people other than it’s a great mini gaming computer and I would recommend it to people.
I would rate this 10 out of 10

Probably all you would ever need with this PC. Very Impressed.
Bought this mini pc recently as it was everything I was looking for and the amazon reviews on here were really good. I’ve had it a few weeks now and its absolutely brilliant. Its small, compact and lightweight and actually look aesthetically good. The RGB multicolored light really enhances the user experiences as it lights up well especially at night. The PC is very easy to setup and super fast when using it for daily use such as internet browsing, Microsoft word/excel/PowerPoint usage . I’ve downloaded GTA 5 which runs smoothly in good quality and also downloaded Forza Horizon 5. These games did take a while to download but this was more to do with broadband speeds. With Forza Horizon 5 however, there is an error message that pops saying graphics card type not supported which did throw me back but there is an option to ignore the message which I did and I realised this is due to the fact that the PC does not have a dedicated graphics card. Once I dismissed the message the game ran as normal and I was very impressed with the graphics and how smoothly the game operated. The quality was excellent, and it ran on a high fps rate which surpassed my expectations. Even after prolonged use there was no lag or anything whatsoever. Trimble Sketchup and other CAD software’s run on this device like a knife through butter. Very impressed with the quality on CAD software and again they run super smooth on this PC. Also this mini PC never gets hot even after extended usage.

If there is any criticism I could say about this mini PC is that the fans can get a bit loud but then I guess that’s to be expected when its under heavy usage. For casual browsing and document typing its basically silent throughout. Another downside is the 512GB storage is definitely not enough if you enjoy playing lots of games especially AAA titles. The good news is this solution can easily be fixed with an external SSD.

To conclude this min PC has blown me away. It has completely exceeded my expectations and is the perfect all rounder. Can cope with pretty much anything you throw at it from casual working from home requirements to playing AAA games in high quality to using CAD software’s. Definitely worth the money. The only thing I need to do now is buy an external SSD but other than that I am very satisfied with this purchase and hats off to the developers who created such small but powerful device at a very reasonable price!

Good powerful miniPC, replacement for my gaming desktop
This is a review of the NiPoGi AM08Pro Gaming Mini PC, preconfigured with 32GB of Ram and 512GB of SSD (nvme)

Recommended use/Summary
========================
This machine has proven to be a very versatile and powerful machine of the three weeks that I have been testing it.
From standard office applications, OneNote, Word and things like photoshop it has had no issues whatsoever. Then on to Gaming, it has auto-configured in most of the games I have tested to be 4K@60Hz, and has not shown any major issues with stability or freezing. When using it for Virtual Reality games, they have all appeared smooth, and the miniPC has even managed to play some games smoother than my usual VR platform. Finally I tested it as a basis for an interactive floor, and it performed well at that too. The size of the machine makes it easy to pack up and carry around (barely thicker than my laptop, and much less wide)

Included Contents
===============
The box included the power adaptor, gaming PC and two leaflets. The first leaflet gave information on the compatible memory types for the system, and a recommendation to check online for the most up-to-date information. The second booklet gave some basic information on plugging the machine in and mounting it.

Configuration
============
The version I received has an AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS processor, which has integrated graphics. The system has space for one NVME drive (already populated). There is also a space for a standard 2.5″ SSD drive, a simple screw plate holding it firmly in place.
The system also has two slots for memory, both of which were filled with 16GB DDR4 totalling 32GB. One side of the machine clips on and off using magnets, in theory allowing one easy access to change the solid state disk or memory configuration.

Initial setup
==========
Plugging in the device is trivial. There is a yellow sticker on the machine warning that you might need to continue with disabling network connections and use a default account, however this was not necessary on the machine that I received. The installation process is mainly that of a standard OEM Windows 11 setup. The system requests that you enter a username and password at first use.

An improvement over other machines that I have reviewed, is that this machine came with secure Boot and other relevant security technologies turned on by default. Once Windows 11 had finished updating itself in its entirety (it is never going to happen that a windows machine comes delivered with no patches needed!) the machine was locked down and secure.

Other connectivity
===============
The system has four USB 3 ports two on the front and two on the read. Two HDMI ports on the read and also there is a Gigabit Ethernet adaptor on this end. On the front there is a USB-C, plus an audio connector. This USB-C connector is fully connected and used for the third monitor output. The system comes with Bluetooth and 5GHz Wi-Fi internally too.

Style/USP
========
When my son first saw this machine, his comment was that it looked cool, like a gaming PC, but smaller. This is exactly the look that I think the manufacturer is aiming for. The case is a matte plastic affair, with holes cut in the side to allow for ventilation. On the top of the case there is a logo for NIPOGI which is lit with a rainbow effect.

At the top front of the machine there is a round power button, which can also be rotated to select one of the power modes, Silent, Auto or Performance. The effect here is that the processor will be limited on its power draw in the Silent mode, and will use an algorithm to ramp up and down the frequency in Auto mode. The power button is coloured Blue, Green or Red dependent on the mode selected. The mode can be changed at any time whilst the machine is in use.
The system is definitely not just passively cooled, the fans are noticeable when running powerful games, but I wouldn’t say distracting. Although if I were doing long stints of word processing or similar I would ensure that the machine was in silent mode (but it handles everything pretty well at that power level, there has been no need to increase it).

Gaming
======
The computer has been able to play various games with reasonable frame rates. When selecting the auto-configure option within many games it selected 4K at a 60Hz frame cap. This was with three monitors plugged in. The graphics processor seems to have handled all the games that I have tried well. Even playing VR shoot-them-up games the graphics has been responsive and I have not had feelings of motion sickness etc.

Office and Non-gaming stuff
=======================
I usually run three monitors at a time, and this device had no issues with that. One central monitor at 4K 60Hz and two side monitors at 1080p (rotated) at 60Hz. The computer had no issues running office applications. I ran some videos through it from YouTube at 4K, and also had some videos going whilst manipulating some models in blender without any problems. I use the PC

Virtual Reality
===========
Using a Windows Mixed Reality device (Samsung Odyssey). The game Space Pirate Trainer was more than playable on standard settings.
Playing Minecraft was also possible, something that I can’t do on an 1060GTX . To me the game was smooth, my son spent an hour in it without any complaints of motion sickness etc, which would be apparent if there was lag or juddering in the displays. On other games such as virtual escape rooms the computer dealt with the VR perfectly.

On the move
===========
As a slightly non-standard test, I used the device in multiple different places, including setting it up for an interactive floor display. The size of the machine, makes it easy to move around and place. Paired with a portable monitor it is really easy to set up, the USB-C port is fully connected and fully powered, meaning I could run the monitor including the power from the single port on the mini PC.

Summary
========
The PC is good for the current first-person shooter games that I have tried it on. It has also handled VR gaming with little problem. The miniPC although larger than some (say a NUC) can still easily fit in my laptop bag with my portable monitor and provides a powerful alternative to my laptop.

Tiny and silent little workhorse
I got this for 369.99 (on offer with 100 off) and have found it to be a great little Windows 11 PC so far. I use it for everyday MS Office stuff, plus web browsing and software development. The front-facing USB C port is handy for data transfers with portable drives. It also connects fine to my headphones via Bluetooth.

Performance is snappy, and it’s totally silent in use. It can get a little warm after prolonged heavy use, but nothing to worry about so far. I have it alongside a Mac mini (which is twice the size!), both connected to my monitor. I have a shared keyboard and mouse setup using a UGREEN USB 3.0 4 Port USB Peripheral Sharing Switcher which makes it easy to switch between the two devices with minimal space taken up on my desk.

The only downside is that the graphics card won’t support demanding modern games, but it’s fine on my 2560×1080 monitor for full screen video viewing on YouTube etc. I don’t miss the huge noisy old black box it replaced at all, plus I now have more leg room and less cable mess under my desk.
