Best mini-PC on the market, great for entry level and mid-tier gameing!
I have bought 5 of the "Ryzen 7 7840HS with 16GB of RAM" and 1 with 32GB of RAM. All 6 have performed admirably. The soldered RAM does add some performance to the iGPU giving these about a 10% increase compared to non-soldered Mini-PCs using the same iGPU. Considering these mini-PCs are under $400, that is a fair compromise. I have also set one of these up as a NAS, the 3 NVMe slots offer up to 6TB of storage at very fast speeds (extra NVMe storage not included). These also have two 2.5Gbps Ethernet ports that you can set up to facilitate the NAS. I have tested about a half dozen different Mini-PCs utilizing the Radeon 780M graphics. That said, the GEM 10 hands down has the best graphics within this chipset. These Mini-PCs are very quiet, even when pushing them hard, there is almost 0 noticeable fan noise. The hottest these PCs get is around 80C and that is while running demanding PC games. I tested these PCs with "7 days to Die (v2.3)", "S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly GAMA", "Fallout 76" and "Rust". All games were able to easily hit 60fps at 1080p at medium settings with minor setting adjustments. The power supply provided can provide up to 99W but the PC will not pull more than 90W even while under demanding loads. The PCs I received were already per-configured with Windows 11 and DID NOT have any bloatware per-installed, only the drivers needed to run the hardware. This was a very pleasant surprise to not find garbage software installed that I would inevitably have to uninstall. The "Aoostar GEM 10" PC can have CPUs from 3 different generations of AMD Ryzen chipsets (6th, 7th and 8th gen). I would recommend not getting the 6850H (6th gen) CPU models IF you plan on using these for gaming. The Ryzen 7840HS is the best version of this PC in this line up (the 8745HS has slower 5600Mhz RAM and therefore is slightly slower over-all than the 7840HS). The older 6th gen Ryzen chips use the older Radeon 680M graphics and are built on the 6nm Lithography. These are inferior to the 7th and 8th gen chips that are built on 4nm lithography and utilize the Radeon 780M graphics. The 6th Gen Ryzen PCs are still good for the price, but AMD is less likely to support their older 6th gen chips for much longer. AMD is still building new CPUs that utilize the Radeon 780M Graphics (Ryzen 7 260 was release on Q2, 2025), so support and driver updates will continue for many years with this iGPU. Lastly, if you are considering which of the 6 variations of this PC you want to buy, I would recommend the 7840HS. It has the fastest soldered RAM (6400MT/s), the best in class Radeon 780M graphics and is a tried and true CPU model. Read moreVer másVer menos
