Bosgame E4 specifications and in-depth review

Bosgame E4

Manufacturer: BOSGAME

The Bosgame E4 is a compact Mini PC built around a Micro-ATX form factor, measuring 128 mm wide, 42.8 mm tall, and 127.1 mm deep, resulting in a total volume of just under 697 cm³. It comes equipped with 16GB of DDR4 RAM running at 2400 MHz and a 512GB NVMe SSD, making it a reasonably capable machine for everyday computing tasks within a small footprint. The unit carries a one-year warranty and supports a maximum of 32GB of memory across two channels.

On the processor side, the E4 runs a laptop-class CPU rated at 35W TDP, with four cores clocked at 2.1 GHz base and a turbo frequency of 3.7 GHz, supported by 8 threads and a combined L3 cache of 4 MB. The integrated Radeon Vega 8 GPU handles display output across up to four screens simultaneously, with two HDMI 2.0 ports and one DisplayPort available alongside a USB-C port. Connectivity is well-covered, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, two RJ45 Ethernet ports, and a mix of USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A and Type-C ports, with benchmark results showing a PassMark score of 7722 and a Cinebench R20 multi-core result of 1660.

Pros
  • Supports up to four simultaneous display outputs through two HDMI 2.0 ports and one DisplayPort, making it suitable for multi-monitor setups
  • Dual RJ45 Ethernet ports allow for two separate wired network connections at the same time
  • Includes three USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports plus one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, offering fast data transfer across multiple devices
  • ECC memory support adds a layer of reliability for tasks that benefit from error-correcting RAM
  • The 512GB NVMe SSD provides notably faster storage access than standard SATA drives
  • Bluetooth 5.0 and built-in Wi-Fi cover both wireless peripherals and network connectivity without needing additional adapters
Cons
  • The CPU multiplier is locked, leaving no option for clock speed adjustments
  • RAM is capped at a maximum speed of 2400 MHz with no support for higher frequencies
  • No external memory slot is available, limiting storage expansion options
  • Blender rendering times are lengthy, with the classroom scene taking over 1548 seconds to complete
  • The single-core Geekbench 6 score of 948 reflects limited performance in tasks that rely on single-threaded execution
  • No Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 4 ports are present, restricting high-bandwidth peripheral and display options
Who is this for?

The Bosgame E4 is well suited to users who need a compact desktop solution for everyday computing tasks such as office work, light media consumption, and general productivity. Its support for up to four simultaneous displays makes it a practical choice for multi-monitor workstation setups in space-constrained environments. The dual RJ45 ports and built-in Wi-Fi with Bluetooth 5.0 also make it a reasonable fit for small office or home office deployments where both wired redundancy and wireless flexibility are useful. Users who require ECC memory support for data-integrity-sensitive workloads will also find it relevant, as will those who prioritize a compact footprint without sacrificing a broad range of port options.

Who is this NOT for?

This product is not a good fit for users with demanding computational workloads such as video editing, 3D rendering, or data processing, as the Blender benchmark results indicate render times well into the hundreds of seconds even for moderate scenes. Gamers and creative professionals relying on dedicated GPU performance will find the integrated Radeon Vega 8 insufficient for their needs. The locked CPU multiplier and RAM ceiling of 2400 MHz also make it unsuitable for enthusiasts or power users who want headroom to push system performance beyond factory settings. Those requiring high-speed peripheral connections via Thunderbolt or USB 4 will likewise find the port selection limiting.
