The BOSGAME P4 Plus is a compact Mini PC built around the AMD Ryzen 7 5825U, an eight-core, sixteen-thread Zen 3 mobile processor that boosts to 4.50 GHz. Configurations range from 16GB DDR4 / 512GB NVMe at the entry tier up to 32GB / 1TB on the top SKU, with both versions wrapped in a sub-litre chassis measuring 5.12 x 5.08 x 1.81 inches. Windows 11 Pro ships pre-installed, and the system targets the same audience as the Beelink SER5 and MINISFORUM UM560: people who want a full Ryzen 7 desktop replacement without a tower-sized footprint.

Two 2.5GbE LAN jacks, WiFi 6E with Bluetooth 5.2, and a triple-display configuration spanning HDMI, DisplayPort, and USB-C with DisplayPort alt-mode make up the I/O layout. The second Ethernet jack is what separates it from a single-LAN box at the same price. The trade-offs are a small active fan (no fanless option here), a single USB-C port that limits dock workflows, and no SD card reader or VESA bracket in the box.

A 15W Ryzen 7 with swappable DDR4 and one storage slot

Eight cores and sixteen threads at a 4.50 GHz boost give the Ryzen 7 5825U enough headroom for daily browser-and-Office work with twenty-plus Chrome tabs, a Teams call, and a background Docker container, which is the kind of workload that exposes weaker N100 and N150 mini PCs. The chip is a refresh of AMD’s 5800U (Zen 3, Cezanne) tuned for the same 15W default TDP. Single-thread responsiveness is closer to a desktop than the small fan and chassis would suggest. The integrated Vega 8 graphics handle 4K H.265 video decode in hardware and will run older esports titles (CS2, League of Legends, Valorant) at 1080p with reduced settings, but anything Unreal Engine 5 or heavily ray-traced is well beyond what this iGPU is designed for.

Memory is the spec that varies most across SKUs. The 16GB variant ships as 2x8GB SO-DIMM in dual-channel, while the 32GB variant uses 2x16GB. Both are user-replaceable DDR4 SO-DIMMs rated up to 3200 MT/s, which beats the soldered LPDDR5 you find in newer Intel N-series boxes when a memory upgrade comes due. If you can stretch budget, the 32GB SKU is the better long-term buy: Windows 11 plus a browser session can easily push past 12GB on its own, and the gap between 16GB and 32GB at this price point is typically less than $80.

Storage is a single M.2 2280 NVMe slot wired to PCIe Gen4 x4. The factory drive in the 1TB SKU sits in the 3,500 MB/s sequential read range, in line with the Yansen and KingSpec OEM modules that BOSGAME and Beelink both ship. With no second M.2 slot and no 2.5-inch SATA bay, a homelab build that wants a fast OS drive plus a larger bulk drive has to hang the bulk drive off an external USB enclosure on the 10 Gbps USB-C port. There is no Thunderbolt or USB4, so eGPU is off the table.

Two Ethernet jacks and three 4K outputs, with one USB-C to share

Dual 2.5GbE puts this in range of a small router, OPNsense or pfSense box, or a Proxmox host that needs separate LAN and WAN interfaces. The chassis uses two Realtek RTL8125 controllers, the de facto standard at this tier, which means Linux out-of-box support is reliable; both interfaces auto-negotiate down to 1GbE if your switch is older. WiFi 6E adds the 6 GHz band on top of 5 GHz, which is meaningful if you already own a Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7 router and want to avoid the crowded 5 GHz spectrum in a dense apartment building. Bluetooth 5.2 handles standard peripherals such as mice, keyboards, and headphones without issue.

One HDMI 2.0, one DisplayPort 1.4, and one USB-C with DisplayPort alt-mode drive three independent 4K monitors at up to 60 Hz. Because that USB-C port is also the only USB-C on the system, using it for a display means giving up dock workflows that route a webcam, keyboard, and external drive through a single cable. Power delivery does not come over USB-C either: the box takes a barrel DC-19V input from a separate brick, which keeps the port purely data-and-video.

Front I/O is two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A and the single USB-C, plus a combo headphone/mic jack and the power button. The rear adds two more USB 2.0 Type-A, both Ethernet jacks, HDMI, DisplayPort, and the DC barrel input. That works out to four USB-A total and one USB-C: enough for a keyboard, mouse, printer, and webcam without a hub, but tight if you regularly swap thumb drives in and out. There is no SD card reader on either face of the chassis, and no VESA bracket is included in the box, so mounting this behind a monitor means sourcing a separate kit.

Reviewer Insights

As of June 2026, no established publication and no trusted hands-on channel has independently tested the BOSGAME P4 Plus. Starry Hope checked the outlets that normally cover mini PCs at this tier (NotebookCheck, Tom’s Hardware, ServeTheHome, TechRadar, PCMag) and the reviewer channels we track for mini PC coverage; none has published a review of this exact model. The YouTube results that rank for “BOSGAME P4 Plus review” (from channels such as Verified Reviews, NeoTech, finderBinder, and 4KGearLab) are short clips built from spec-sheet slides and product renders, narrated by a synthetic voice, with no measured data on screen: no wattage figures, no fan-noise readings, no thermal logs, no benchmark runs. The written pages that rank for the model (minipc-review.com, minipc-mothership.com, intensewebs.com) are templated, author-less articles that present the manufacturer’s spec sheet as if it were test data. Neither kind of source counts as a review here.

The processor is the AMD Ryzen 7 5825U, an eight-core, sixteen-thread Zen 3 mobile part (a refresh of the 5800U) with a 4.50 GHz maximum boost and a 15W default TDP that vendors can raise within the chassis thermal budget. In Starry Hope’s processor reference it carries a PassMark CPU Mark of 18,350, effectively a tie with the 5800U it descends from (18,344) and a touch ahead of the newer-numbered Ryzen 7 7730U (17,677). That puts it more than three times the multi-thread throughput of the Intel N150 (5,478) that powers entry-tier mini PCs, while current Zen 4 and Zen 5 parts such as the Ryzen 7 8845HS (28,853) sit well above it. The third configuration swaps in the Ryzen 7 5700U, which scores 15,853 on the same scale, roughly a 14 percent multi-thread step down from the 5825U at the same core count.

In 2026 the 5825U is a four-year-old midrange mobile chip whose CPU throughput still covers a browser-and-Office workload, a Plex or Jellyfin server with hardware transcoding, or a Proxmox host running a handful of LXC containers. The dual 2.5GbE and the WiFi 6E radio are the parts of the spec that stand out at this price. Nobody has published measurements for this chassis under sustained load, so its idle and load power draw, its fan-noise floor and ceiling, and its package temperatures during a long all-core run remain unknown. It is an actively cooled box with no fanless option, so if silence is a hard requirement a passively cooled alternative like the MeLE Quieter 4C is the safer pick for a bedroom HTPC.

A dual-LAN homelab box, best bought at the 32GB tier

Pick this box if you want a Ryzen 7 mini PC with dual 2.5GbE for under $450 and you are comfortable buying a less-reviewed brand because the spec sheet matches your use case. A homelab tinkerer running a Proxmox or OPNsense node will get more out of the second LAN jack than a Beelink SER5 buyer would. Of the two Ryzen 7 5825U SKUs, the 32GB / 1TB tier is the better value, since the price gap to the 16GB / 512GB tier is small relative to the productivity headroom you gain.

Skip it if your priority is silent operation, if you need eGPU support, or if brand reputation and service responsiveness matter more to you than spec-per-dollar; Beelink and MINISFORUM have larger US service footprints. For comparison shopping, our Mini PC Comparison Chart stacks it against the SER5 Pro, the UM560 XT, and the GMKtec M5 on the specs that matter for your workload.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the BOSGAME P4 Plus support triple monitors?

Yes. HDMI, DisplayPort, and the USB-C port with DisplayPort alt-mode each drive an independent display, for three at once at up to 4K 60 Hz.

Can I upgrade the RAM or storage?

Both are user-serviceable. The DDR4 memory sits in two dual-channel SO-DIMM slots, and the single M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe 4.0 slot takes a replacement drive.

Does it have a fanless design?

No. Cooling is active, so the fan is audible under heavy workloads. There is no fanless option in the lineup.

What’s included in the box?

The Mini PC itself, a DC 19V power adapter, and documentation.

Is there an SD card reader?

Neither face of the chassis has one. An external USB card reader covers it if you shoot photos or video.

What kind of Ethernet ports does it have?

Two 2.5Gbps jacks, driven by Realtek RTL8125 controllers, which is enough to give a router or firewall build separate LAN and WAN interfaces.

Can I use a VESA mount?

No bracket ships in the box, so mounting it behind a monitor means sourcing a separate kit.

Is this Mini PC suitable for gaming?

The integrated Radeon Vega 8 graphics run older esports titles at 1080p with reduced settings. Unreal Engine 5 and ray-traced titles are beyond this iGPU.

What operating system does it run?

Windows 11 Pro is pre-installed.
