Amazing Mini PC!
I wanted a mini PC I can hook up to a couple of television sets for multimedia purposes. On one television ironic constant stream of videos and on the second one I run a photo slideshow. This little PC does it flawlessly. No buffering. No problems. I wanted the AMD processor. That’s why I chose this mini pc. So glad I did!

Small but completely capable
We purchased this mini pc to replace our 12 year old Windows 10 desktop. This Bosgame mini had Windows 11 pre installed. I have a basic knowledge when it comes to computer set up but the process of setting up this mini was fairly easy. Now since it is a mini, you will need to purchase or connect it to a monitor you have sitting around. We purchased new high definition monitor for less than $80 and it serves our needs. It’s my understanding this mini works well for gamers but that is something I have no interest in. My wife is the primary user of the mini and she is very happy with the fast response of this mini. Now we have only had the mini up and running for a few weeks so we can’t comment on it’s long term use. That being said we are completely satisfied with this product purchase and recommend it if your in need of replacing and old outdated pc.

Awesome Gaming PC
After growing tired of the horrible quality of most windows laptops, I decided to set up a mini-PC system to power my home theater rig. This BOSGAME P3 is very impressive. The stock RAM is OK, but when upgraded to GSKILL F5-4800S3434A16GA2-RS (fast 32GB dual channel), the performance difference was night and day. I’m running games like Elite Dangerous on High settings in 4k and it’s smooth as silk. It’ll run the game on ‘Ultra’ too, although it’s not quite as smooth.The machine also has TWO NVMe bays inside, and I plan to add a 4GB M.2 drive soon as a dedicated gaming drive.My only gripe is that if I turn my Home theater receiver (connected via HDMI) on after the PC is powered up, I need to reboot the PC for it to pick up the HDMI audio. Not a huge deal, as it boots up very quickly.Overall, incredible value for the money. If you’re looking for a MiniPC, this is the one!

Nice Mini
Got this Mini for when my gaming PC needs work. No issues so far easy to update and use it mainly for streaming.

This small computer in a lightweight plastic box has vent holes on four sides and a decorative cross-hatch pattern on top. The bottom has four rubber feet and two screw holes matching the included metal mounting plate (for the back of a monitor).A lighted red rubber power button is located on one face, which I would consider the front. That side also sports two USB A ports, one USB C port, and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. The rear face has a coaxial power input (for the included wall adapter labelled 12V, 3A), two USB A ports, two HDMI ports, and a 2.5 gigabit Ethernet port.While all the USB A ports have blue tabs, the ones on the front are depicted as 5 Gbps on an Amazon product image, and the rear ones are shown as 10 Gbps. The Type-C port on the front is said to handle 4K@60 Hz video (found to be true with my Sony TV). This Bosgame E3 PC is a rare Intel N150 machine featuring a Type-C port and no dedicated USB 2.0 ports. I like being able to plug in my devices without fussing over the color and speed rating of USB ports.Pressing the Delete key before or during the Bosgame logo appearance enters the AMI BIOS (Aptio Setup). F1, F8, and F12 are ignored. The one-key access eliminates confusion over which key to press. Setup screens confirmed the presence of an Intel N150 CPU, 16 GB of RAM, and a HighRel 512 GB NVMe SSD.The BIOS refers to the USB C port as a Thunderbolt port. I found my Lenovo and generic docks supported USB peripherals, gigabit Ethernet, and 4K HDMI. Furthermore, power from either dock allowed the PC to run without the coaxial wall adapter. Getting power from a dock potentially reduces cable clutter, but hanging the dock off the front is clumsy if you make that a permanent arrangement. I wish the unit could have Type-C on both front and back, but I have yet to see any mini PC in this class like that.Windows 11 Pro came waiting for a user to set the language, choose a keyboard layout, and sign in with a Microsoft account. I went for a local account by pressing Shift-F10 and executing “start ms-cxh:localonly”.  A digital license activated automatically when I connected to the Internet later. All subsystems in the computer were operational. I only saw software from a standard Windows 11 Pro installation. Virus scans by Microsoft Defender, Avast, and Malwarebytes found no malware.The computer booted various live Linux ISOs from USB keys. Debian Live Testing (2025-05-04), Fedora Workstation 42.1.1, Kubuntu 25.04, and Ubuntu 24.04.2 ran well on monitors and a TV. I heard sound on headphones and HDMI displays. Linux Mint 22.1 was the outlier, not recognizing the Alder Lake audio-video hardware so the desktop started at 800×600 resolution with no HDMI audio. The headphone jack and my USB devices still worked as audio outputs. Installing Linux Mint alongside Windows, and upgrading the kernel, to package linux-image-oem-24.04b (kernel 6.11.0) for new hardware, corrected the AV issue.When I installed Windows 11 Pro from scratch using an ISO (downloaded the same week), the setup assistant requested a wifi password since Ethernet was not detected. I was able to press Shift+F10, execute “oobebypassnro”, reboot, continue without Internet, and create a local account. A web search for “Intel network adapter driver for Windows 11” led me to install a “wired” driver from an Intel site, after which the Ethernet port came alive.A Bluetooth scan on my fresh Windows 11 Pro installation did not find clients. I located an rtl8822ce driver from the Realtek site. Unfortunately, that driver also turned up nothing when scanning. Bosgame, to their credit, provides 11 drivers (modestly updated and customized) on their web site for the E3 and other models based on the Alder Lake chipset. Search the web for “Bosgame driver downloads”. The BT RTL8822 driver for the E3 driver immediately found Bluetooth clients.After fixing the wired Ethernet and Bluetooth problems, Windows Device Manager and Sound Settings still showed no HDMI audio device. To my chagrin, Intel’s advice on their Smart Sound Technology driver is to obtain it from the PC manufacturer: Intel does not offer an HD audio driver download. After I installed the Bosgame version of that driver, HDMI audio was enabled right away.The Alder Lake chipset is four years old, yet some subsystems in the E3 are useless without driver customizations by Bosgame. Of course, the mini PC is delivered with all drivers preinstalled. However, if Bosgame shuts down or withdraws support, Microsoft drivers alone will not make all the E3 hardware operational, not now and likely not in the future. Ironically, Linux supports all the hardware in the Bosgame E3 with no third-party or OEM downloads whatsoever, today and in the foreseeable future. (The Linux Mint kernel upgrade mentioned earlier is in a vetted Ubuntu repo already configured for Mint). Of course, hunting around for bespoke Windows drivers is normal for a lot of brand new PCs, so some people are okay with that.YouTube video at standard 1920×1080 resolution was smooth as butter on Windows 11 Pro and Linux. Videos stepped up to 3840×2160 on Windows were watchable, but simply moving the mouse around caused perceptible stuttering. Linux was slightly jittery at 2560×1440 and noticeably dropping frames at 3840×2160. This box is perfectly fine for office apps at 4K, but stick with HD for the best video playback.The plastic case was never hot, just gently warm after hours of use. The CPU was pegged at 100% according to Windows Task Manager even for YouTube in an Edge window. For a corresponding test in Linux, Gnome System Monitor showed the CPU utilization was around 40%. Linux apparently has CPU cycles to spare for tasks beyond video, which is great for getting work done. Besides that, the 6 watts Thermal Design Power of the N150 in this box (15W total power) has merit for consuming dramatically less energy than older PCs, laptops, and Chromebooks. The low electricity requirement of this x86_64 system is a benefit in itself.This system is not meant for games and content creation. However, it is a full hardware platform for office applications, network access, music listening, and HD video playback. Windows 11 Pro has a digital license ready to go, or you can install Linux for greater efficiency and longevity without dependence on PC vendor drivers. Whichever your choice, the Bosgame E3 is a good value as an energy-saving desktop.

It’s really quiet and fast my parents loves itSo far so good

I purchased this unit to replace an aging Intel i7-4770 desktop and this tiny unit did not disappoint. Sure, it is not as expandable as my previous desktop but that’s fine since I store much of my data on my network’s NAS.It comes with Windows 11 Pro pre-activated but I prefer Windows 10 Pro and was able to performance a fresh Win10 Pro install from a USB installer. No issues encountered.Although I have only used the unit for a few hours, I’m extremely impressed with its speed, features, and the absence of fan noise.The drive does take a 2.5″ 7 mm SATA drive as well with the included cable.My internet connection is limited to 1.5 down and 1.0 up and was able to achieve max upload and download over Ethernet. Although the unit is limited to WiFi 5, the speed test results were still quite good.
