What Buyers Say
BOSGAME E3 Neo E3
This mini PC impresses most users with its surprising capability for daily tasks and even light gaming, despite not being a powerhouse. Verified buyers praise its compact size, fast performance, easy setup, and low power consumption, often using it as a secondary PC, server, or media hub. However, a detailed 3-star review calls out misleading claims about WiFi 6e and 2.5 GbE support, noting the hardware only delivers WiFi 6 and 1 GbE. Overall, sentiment is very positive, with the majority of reviews giving 4 or 5 stars, and the one critical review still acknowledges good value if those features are not dealbreakers.
Pros
- Compact and space-saving design
- Fast performance for daily tasks
- Easy setup out of the box
- Low power consumption (45 watts)
- Capable of light gaming and streaming
Cons
- Misleading WiFi 6e claim (only WiFi 6 supported)
- Misleading 2.5 GbE claim (only 1 GbE supported)
- Long initial Windows update time (3-4 hours)
- USB 3.2 external storage speed slower than expected
- Not suitable for AAA gaming
