Overview

The KAMRUI Essenx E1 makes its case on the strength of its processor. Where many budget mini PCs lean on the Intel N100 or N95, the E1 steps up to the 12th Gen N97, a four-core, four-thread Alder Lake N-Series part with 6MB of cache and a peak clock of 3.6GHz. KAMRUI claims a 48% performance lift over those older chips, and it notes improvements to heat dissipation and efficiency relative to its own earlier AK1PLUS model. The 15W TDP keeps power draw and thermals in check, which suits a system this small. This is a computer built for people who want responsive everyday performance — browsing, office work, streaming, email — without paying for horsepower they won't use.

On the practical side, the E1 arrives with 16GB of DDR RAM and a 256GB M.2 SSD, with room to expand storage up to 2TB by swapping the drive. Windows 11 Pro comes preloaded, and Linux is supported alongside management features like Wake On LAN, PXE, RTC Wake, and Auto Power On. The integrated graphics handle 4K at 60Hz across two screens, allowing mixed portrait and landscape layouts. Connectivity covers dual-band WiFi on 2.4GHz and 5GHz, Gigabit Ethernet, and Bluetooth 4.2. At 3.94 x 3.94 x 1.18 inches — roughly 60% smaller than the AK1PLUS, per KAMRUI — it slips easily onto a desk or, thanks to the included VESA bracket, out of sight behind a display.
