The mini PC market has exploded in recent years, proving that you no longer need a hulking desktop tower to achieve impressive everyday computing performance. KAMRUI has quietly been one of the dominant players in the budget mini PC space, and their KAMRUI Mini PC E3B 11 Pro AMD Ryzen V2748 (part of the Pinova Series) makes a compelling case for why. Powered by the surprisingly capable AMD Ryzen Embedded V2748 processor, this tiny form-factor computer targets remote workers, students, and home-theater enthusiasts who want snappy, reliable performance without sacrificing desk space or emptying their wallets.

Price and what’s included

The KAMRUI Mini PC E3B 11 Pro AMD Ryzen V2748 is available from Amazon for a regular retail price of $485.00, but is often discounted to $339.00 or less. At that price point, it represents an outstanding value proposition compared to entry-level laptops or budget towers.

Inside the box, KAMRUI provides a complete starter kit, including the mini PC itself, a two-part power adapter with barrel connector, an HDMI cable, a VESA mount (with mounting screws) to easily hide the unit behind a monitor, and a user manual. Because it comes with Windows 11 Pro pre-installed with zero bloatware, you only need to supply your own monitor, keyboard, and mouse to get rolling immediately. Finally, there’s a one year warranty. A QR code is printed on the warning sticker for WhatsApp-based customer service.

As is typical for mini PCs from this brand, there’s a warning sticker on the computer that says, “For faster setup, avoid Wi-Fi or LAN initially. Connecting might trigger long updates, delaying desktop access.” An additional warning sticker covers the Ethernet port. Although I’m generally a good listener, this time I didn’t bother and just followed the normal Windows setup, including connecting to my WiFi early on. There were no issues, although setup was in fact on the longer side.

Features and design: Small, stealthy, and expandable

The E3B sports a sleek, utilitarian black chassis that measures roughly five inches square and just over an inch and a half thick. It won’t win any avant-garde design awards, but its unassuming look means it easily blends into any office setup or living room entertainment center. The front panel gives you quick access to the power button, an audio jack, two USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A ports, and a versatile USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C port capable of handling video output and 10Gbps data transfers. Around the back, things get even better with four additional USB Type-A ports, a Gigabit LAN port, a DisplayPort, and an HDMI port.

Crucially, the E3B supports triple 4K display output right out of the box via HDMI, DisplayPort, and USB-C. Inside, the system is highly accessible. Removing the bottom panel reveals 16GB of DDR4 RAM (3200MT/s) and a 512GB SATA SSD. Both are fully upgradeable, meaning you can easily swap in up to 64GB of RAM, or utilize the two internal M.2 slots (one NVMe, one SATA) to expand storage up to a total of 4TB, to extend the machine’s usable lifespan as your needs grow. It also comes equipped with modern wireless connectivity via Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2.

Performance: A productivity powerhouse

Under the hood, the 8-core, 16-thread AMD Ryzen V2748 (boosting up to 4.3GHz) drives the experience. For day-to-day tasks like heavy web browsing, massive spreadsheets, 4K video playback, and light photo editing, the E3B flies. The generous multi-core setup ensures that having multiple applications open simultaneously doesn’t result in frustrating system hangs. Moreover, the robust triple-cooling system, which includes a surprisingly quiet fan and ample venting, keeps the processor running at optimal speeds without thermal throttling.

However, users need to manage their expectations when it comes to gaming. The integrated AMD Radeon Vega 7 graphics are perfectly adequate for retro emulation, indie titles, or older PC games running at modest settings. It’s not built to handle demanding, modern AAA titles. If you approach this as a powerful productivity workhorse and an exceptional media center rather than a dedicated gaming rig, you’ll be thoroughly impressed by its snappy responsiveness.

To put some hard numbers to that performance, community benchmarks confirm that the Ryzen Embedded V2748 holds its own as a budget champion. In Geekbench 6 testing, the CPU achieves a solid Single-Core score of 1,462, and a Multi-Core score of 5,083. For graphics, the integrated Radeon Vega 7 GPU pulls a respectable 7,638 in the Vulkan benchmark.

The only minor hardware bottleneck out of the box is the storage. While the system supports NVMe, the included 512GB drive is a SATA SSD, yielding CrystalDiskMark Sequential Read speeds of around 554 MB/s and Sequential Writes of 483 MB/s. This is plenty fast for typical daily driving, but power users wanting maximum snappiness will be happy to know that swapping in an NVMe drive is a quick, and highly recommended, upgrade.

Similarly, the 16GB of DDR4 RAM comes as a single stick in a single-channel configuration. Dropping in a second stick of RAM to run in dual-channel is a fantastic way to wake up the system’s performance for heavy multitasking.

Should you buy the KAMRUI Mini PC E3B 11 Pro AMD Ryzen V2748?

If you find yourself needing an extra computer or two for the house, this is an incredibly smart buy, especially given the rising costs of general computing components. If you’re looking to reclaim your desk space from an aging desktop tower or need a highly capable, mostly silent PC for a home office, the KAMRUI Mini PC E3B is an easy recommendation. It delivers reliable mid-range performance, excellent triple-monitor support, and easy upgradability in a footprint barely larger than a stack of coasters. While serious gamers and heavy video editors will need to look elsewhere for dedicated graphical power, standard users and remote workers will find it difficult to beat the sheer value this little machine offers, particularly when on sale.

Score: 8 (out of 10)
