KAMRUI H1 Review: Mini PC with Ryzen 7 7735HS Processor (24 GB/1 TB)

The KAMRUI H1, along with its commercial twin the NiPoGi H1, is one of the mini PCs with the best power-to-price ratio at the moment thanks to the Ryzen 7 7735HS and its 24GB of LPDDR5 RAM.

Pros:

• 8-core/16-thread CPU with plenty of headroom for true multitasking

• Radeon 680M graphics card capable of running games at 1080p and PS3/Switch emulation without breaking a sweat

• 24GB of dual-channel RAM, unusual in mini PCs of this price range

• Dual M.2 slot, highly expandable

Cons:

• TDP up to 54W: noticeable in temperature and noise compared to low-power mini PCs (like Ryzen 3 7330U)

• The same hardware is sold under two different brands, which can cause confusion when buying.

Quick conclusion: if you're looking for a mini PC that can handle office tasks, light gaming, and emulation without spending €600, the H1 is one of the best on the market right now, as long as you don't mind that the name on the box might say KAMRUI or NiPoGi interchangeably.

📦 Unboxing and Box Contents

In the box we found just what we needed:

• KAMRUI H1 Mini PC.
• Power adapter.
• VESA mount for attaching it behind the monitor.
• HDMI cable.
• User manual.

The finish of the box and packaging is generic, typical of a Chinese OEM manufacturer, something we already suspected when we saw that this same chassis is also sold as NiPoGi H1.

🏷️ One Mini PC, Two Different Brands

Before delving into the technical analysis, it's important to clarify something that might cause confusion when buying: the KAMRUI H1 and the NiPoGi H1 are, for all practical purposes, the same hardware. Same chassis (12.9 x 12.9 x 5.1cm), same Ryzen 7 7735HS, same Radeon 680M, same ports, and even the same VESA mount.

The difference usually lies in the price and, in some variants, in the factory RAM/SSD configuration. We've seen documented cases where both brands share almost identical listings with a price difference of over €100, so before buying, it's worth comparing prices on both product pages at the exact time of your purchase.

If you want to delve deeper into the detailed comparison between the two, we have a dedicated article: NiPoGi H1 vs KAMRUI H1.

📊 Technical Specifications

🎨 Design and Construction Quality

The H1 maintains the understated aesthetic characteristic of this type of mini PC: a compact metal chassis, side ventilation grilles, and a matte finish that effectively hides dust and fingerprints. In hand, it feels solid, with no creaking or hollow-sounding plastic, something not always found in this price range.

Its size (barely larger than a small paperback book) allows it to be placed on any desk or hidden behind the monitor with the VESA mount, gaining desk space without sacrificing power.

🖥️ Screen and Multimedia

Since it doesn't have its own screen, the key feature here is its video output capability: the H1 drives up to three simultaneous 4K displays at 60Hz thanks to a combination of HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4, and USB-C. In our tests, the signal remained stable across all three outputs without frame drops or flickering, ideal for those working with multiple monitors or setting up a multimedia center.

For video playback, it handles 4K HDR content smoothly, both streaming (Netflix, YouTube) and locally, with noticeably better fluidity than mini PCs with low-power chips like the Ryzen 3 from the P2 range.

🚀 Performance and Software

This is where the H1 truly shines compared to other options in its price range. The combination of 24GB of dual-channel LPDDR5 RAM and the Radeon 680M is, in our experience, the system's real strength: the integrated AMD GPU has access to more memory bandwidth thanks to the dual channel, resulting in a noticeable leap in graphics performance compared to configurations with a single RAM module (a common feature in cheaper mini PCs that advertise similar specs but use single-channel RAM).

In everyday use, the performance is excellent: browsing with dozens of tabs open, light editing in Photoshop or Premiere, and heavy multitasking without any lag. Windows 11 Pro comes pre-installed and relatively clean of bloatware, with Windows Update working normally from the first boot.

🎮 Gaming and Emulation

This is the aspect that surprised us the most. The Radeon 680M isn't a dedicated graphics card, but at 1080p and with medium settings, it smoothly handles titles like League of Legends, CS2, Fortnite, and GTA V with playable framerates.

Where it truly shines is in emulation: PS3 (RPCS3) runs surprisingly well on most titles thanks to the multi-core power of the 7735HS, and Nintendo Switch (Yuzu/Ryujinx) emulation is smooth on the vast majority of games, including demanding titles like Zelda: TOTK at native resolution or higher via upscaling. For PS2, GameCube, and Wii, performance is more than adequate, requiring minimal additional configuration.

🔌 Energy Consumption and Cables

The included adapter easily covers the system's power consumption under load, which can reach around 50-60W for the entire system (CPU+GPU+peripherals) when the 7735HS is under maximum load. During idle or light use, power consumption drops considerably, resulting in reasonable electricity costs compared to a traditional desktop PC.

🌡️ Temperature and Noise (Actual Thermal)

Let's be honest: since this is a chip with up to 54W configurable TDP (well above the 15W of mini PCs like the Kamrui Pinova P2), thermal management puts more demands on the dual fan and radiator system it incorporates.

Under sustained load (benchmarks, prolonged gaming), the CPU temperature can approach 90-95°C, in line with what has been reported in other independent analyses of mini PCs with this same chip.

As for noise, in normal tasks the system remains practically silent, but under maximum load the fans become noticeable, although not annoying in a normal office environment.

🔗 Connectivity and Extras

The H1 doesn't skimp on ports: six USB-A connections (two of them Gen2 at 10Gbps), a USB-C also at 10Gbps with video output, Ethernet at 2.5Gbps, WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2. It doesn't include a fingerprint reader, NFC or IP certification, which is to be expected in this product segment and price.

Additional features such as Auto Power On, RTC Wake and Wake on LAN make it suitable even for home server or always-on media center uses.

🔧 Expansion and Upgrades

One of the great strengths of the H1 is its expandability:

• RAM: Most configurations come with 24GB of soldered LPDDR5 RAM, so it's not user-expandable on this model (unlike the Ryzen 7 6800H versions, which use hot-swappable SO-DIMMs up to 64GB). Before buying, check the product specifications to confirm whether your unit uses soldered or modular RAM. The "LP" ( Low-Power ) designation in the LPDDR5 standard indicates that the memory chips are soldered directly to the motherboard.

• Main SSD: M.2 2280 NVMe, easily replaceable with higher capacity drives (up to 4TB supported).

• Second M.2 slot: available to add an additional disk without sacrificing the main one, ideal for separating operating system and data/game storage.

• 2.5" Storage": This model does not include a 2.5-inch SSD/HDD bay; all storage expansion goes through the two M.2 slots.

🆚 Comparison with Direct Competitors

Compared to the 6800H (our previous review), the 7735HS offers a slightly higher boost clock (4.75GHz vs 4.7GHz) and usually comes with more RAM and storage capacity as standard, although the real-world performance in practice is very similar between both chips as they share the Zen 3+ architecture and the same Radeon 680M.
