KAMRUI AM02 Pro Mini PC

Note: The KAMRUI AM02 Pro is no longer in production. Both Amazon listings (the Ryzen 7 5700U and Ryzen 7 5800U configurations) read “Currently unavailable,” and KAMRUI’s current lineup has moved on to newer chassis such as the Hyper H1 built around the Ryzen 7 7735HS and the AM21 (Ryzen 7 8745HS). Buyers shopping for a current equivalent can compare live options in Starry Hope’s Mini PC Comparison Chart.

The KAMRUI AM02 Pro was a compact budget mini PC for everyday productivity, media playback, and light gaming. It ran an AMD Ryzen 7 5700U (a later config used the Ryzen 7 5800U) with integrated Radeon RX Vega 8 graphics, 16GB of DDR4 (expandable to 64GB), and a 512GB M.2 NVMe SSD. It supported Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2, drove two displays over HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort (the USB-C port is data-only at 5Gbps), and shipped with a VESA mount for tucking behind a monitor.

Office work and 4K playback were the comfortable range

Email, word processing, web, and photo editing ran smoothly on the eight-core Ryzen 7 and its DDR4 memory, and the aluminum case helped with cooling. Gaming was limited to older and lighter titles. The 5700U and 5800U both drive the same integrated Radeon RX Vega 8, so neither configuration changes that ceiling.

As a media box it played 4K at 60Hz over HDMI 2.0, which made it a workable living-room or home-theater unit. The upgradeable RAM and M.2 SSD gave it some headroom, and the small footprint plus VESA mount suited an office desk or a spot behind a monitor. Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, and gigabit Ethernet covered the connections a desk or TV cabinet needs.

Reviewer Insights

In Starry Hope’s processor reference the 5700U (Zen 2, 8 cores and 16 threads) carries a PassMark multi-thread score of 15,343, while the step-up Ryzen 7 5800U variant on this page (Zen 3) scores 18,344. Both are 2021-era mobile parts driving the same integrated Radeon RX Vega 8. The review below tested the 5700U configuration with games and productivity software.

Matt Keith, CGMagonline: older games fine, DaVinci Resolve out of reach

Writing for CGMagonline in December 2023, Matt Keith scored the AM02 Pro an 8 out of 10 and framed it as “Kamrui’s attempt to integrate productivity and home entertainment into one compact form factor.” DOOM Eternal “simply wasn’t playable” and ran as “a slow-moving slideshow,” and Diablo 4 was “technically playable at 20-25 FPS at the lowest possible settings,” which he would not recommend for any length of time. League of Legends and World of Warcraft (Retail) “ran smooth as silk, easily maintaining 60FPS,” while Fortnite needed its settings “scaled back to achieve a solid 45-60 FPS.” Diablo 3 played well and Grim Dawn ran with no issues.

He described the chassis as “exceptionally quiet even during gaming or media streaming sessions,” noted the HDMI 2.0 output achieved 4K HDR at 60Hz for streaming and local files, and praised the upgradeable DDR4 (3200 MT/s) memory and M.2 SSD. Video editing in DaVinci Resolve was “where the AM02 Pro met its match”: even with playback set to quarter quality and resources reallocated, letting clips render in place “still didn’t result in a smooth editing experience.” He also noted that AMD will provide future support for the Vega graphics line only as critical updates, so the integrated GPU will not see further performance gains.

A 2021 platform that still covers office work and 4K playback

An owner still running one has a machine that covers office work, 4K HDR playback at 60Hz over HDMI 2.0, and dual displays. Current AAA gaming and video editing sat outside what Matt Keith got out of it.

The Radeon Vega graphics receive only critical AMD updates, so the integrated GPU will not get faster. DDR4 memory and a single M.2 slot stop the upgrade path at 64GB of RAM and a 2TB SSD, with no card reader and no second drive bay behind it.

Anyone weighing a small, quiet desktop against newer chips and platforms can line the options up in Starry Hope’s Mini PC Comparison Tool, which sorts by processor, memory, storage, and ports.
