MOMENTPLUS Mini Gaming PC,AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS(Up to 4.75GHz) 32GB RAM 1TB SSD Mini Computers, AMD Radeon 680M Micro PC Support 4K Triple Display/USB4/WiFi6/BT5.2

It is bigger than the competing models such as the ones from BeeLink, but I was still surprised by the small size and light weight(smaller than the span of my hand). Runs quiet even under load.

I was surprised by the internal specs due to the product page being chock full of outdated information:

The RAM is a single stick of 3200mhz CL22. One the fastest you can get for a SODIMM stick!

SSD is NVMe instead of SATA although the speed is barely faster than SATA.

N100 CPU-Z benchmark scores are typical. AV1 support for chip is great for watching movies/videos and streaming games from streaming services or from your own more powerful gaming PC. Although this just a feature of this chip and not this particular mini PC.

Bios is full settings, although there was no way to search for any. The setting I was looking for was Wake on LAN and I couldn’t find it but it’s not a big deal for such a low power device to leave it on all the time.

Resizeable BAR is enabled by default in the bios, might help with an eGPU but I don’t have one test with. Also there’s no thunderbolt port even though it appears to be supported in the motherboard.

Power adapter is slightly bigger than a typical router adapter and supplies 12V 3A or 36W, which is sufficient for this mini PC under full load, but might cut it close if many unpowered USB devices are plugged in. I’ve tried it and daisy chained USB hubs two hubs deep don’t work and it will refuse to boot if you power it on with daisy chained hubs plugged in. I’ve seen reviews of other Mini PC listings gimping on the power supply and only providing a 12V 2A adapter.

Unlike smaller mini PCs, the RAM is not soldered and can be upgraded and also for dual channel support which should help with gaming iGPU performance.

Also you get a clean Windows 11 install with no malware or OEM bloatware of any kind!

Ram should be upgradable to 16GB but unfortunately the N100 CPU only supports single channel.

Overall I’m very impressed and happy with my purchase.

I am mostly uploading this review to show a picture of the internals of the device. it comes with crucial brand memory, which is nice. sadly it only has one dimm slot, so no running any additional memory in dual channel.It also has a cable to connect a 2.5 in drive, it also has mounting holes along the top of the device for that drive.

performance wise this will handle office work and general day-to-day Computing no sweat, it’s kind of crazy the level of computer you can get now for the money. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth performance was also on point, nothing insane but it worked. thermals were good no matter what I was doing, this thing actually runs emulators pretty well. I was able to run PS2 games upscaled with no issues and no thermal throttling. I was driving a 1440p monitor while doing this with no issue, even at 165hz.

all in all this computer would serve 85% of people’s needs easily. for those who like to Tinker there are serviceable Parts which is a huge plus as well.

For my use case (light gaming, web browsing, helping friends with their PCs), it’s an excellent value. Compared to my old full tower case, it’s also nearly silent.

It’ s not perfect. I haven’t been able to find a setting in the BIOS to increase the graphics RAM [Edit: It’s in there, under Advanced -> AMD CBS -> GFX Config -> Igpu Config -> UMA Specified]. The WiFi isn’t great, and isn’t wanting to connect on the 5 GHz band. Another thing is that the SSD is a Foresee brand, which works OK but isn’t a name brand. I may end up replacing it. OTOH, the memory is Crucial brand so that’s good.

I don’t know if I’ll keep this for myself, or if I will give it to my wife and look for one of the newer machines with the 7000 series processors. But this is amazing how much computing power you get for $200.

Edit: I ordered one for my wife on black friday.

I can’t speak about Windows install because I installed NixOS as soon as I got it. It works well with Linux. It is silent at idle, but it doesn’t take much for the fans to kick up. Furthermore, it returns to silent quickly. I have not tried to adjust the fans curves yet. My only minor gripe is that the USB ports are mounted upside-down. Not a big issue unless you use a YubiKey security key or something that has a definite “up” side that you need to access.

I couldn’t be happier with this PC. Granted I only wanted it to do a few things, run a software defined radio, store observations, and work well with TeamViewer so I could control it remotely. I found setup to be very easy. Happily runs rather CPU intensive SDR software, and the power consumption seems low enough. I run it without a monitor or keyboard which gives the entire computer setup a very small form factor.
