PELADN HA-4 Mini PC AMD Ryzen 7840Hs

I have several Peladn HA-4 Mini PCs running security camera displays. Some are displaying as many as 40 live camera feeds from remote locations. I have experienced zero lag and the resolution is great. These little workhorses are easy to setup and run quiet. 10/10.

This is a review of the PELADN HA-4 Mini PC, AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS Mini Gaming PC, 32 / 512, which I purchased in Aug 2024.

Of all the problems people have reported with this computer, I had only one: Windows crashing. Once I updated the graphics driver from the AMD site, I haven't had any crashes. Computer has been working great.

The NVMe drive is Kingston, Wifi is Intel and ethernet is Realtek. Unknown what brand of RAM. Scanned for malware, but none was found.

Unigine Heaven Benchmark 4.0:

Fortnite performance on low settings:

GPU Temp: 65 degrees
GPU Utilization: 98%
GPU Memory used: 2700-2800 MB (of 3000 MB reserved for the GPU)
CPU Temp: 70 degrees

With coupon, I paid $259. Would buy again.

Quality built mini pc, with decent specifications, i'am using it as a front room media/light gaming pc.

Bought this to replace an android tv box. It works like it should and specs are as advertised. I will update if anything changes.

I've been using this mini pc, or should I call it nano PC for the past month, and here's a little bit about my background. I've been building my own desktop PCs for the past 25 years. So I've been able to learn a thing or two, and I've tested virtually every commercial CPU that has been produced for the last two decades. So while people have to run benchmarks and all kinds of crazy tests to bragg about a few FPS more than the other, I instantly know how fast a computer will be just by running the initial set up, or installing Windows or any OS available.
This mini PC runs like a dream, it is fast, it is quiet, doesn't even get warm. The included 1TB SSD is gen 4, it's got 32gb of ram, and the integrated graphics are able to deliver decent performance for gaming, and stellar performance for 4k media consumption.
To put things in perspective, this tiny nano PC, outperforms my new MS Surface Pro 11 which costs almost 4 times as much.
The mini PC comes with Windows 11 Pro installed and activated. And the LEDs on the case provide a very nice looking effect.
Adding a second NVME SSD is not only possible, but crazy easy, just remove the 4 bottom screws on the bottom cover, and the lid comes off immediately, note two things***. One of the 4 screws on the bottom have a tamper proof sticker on it, so I don't know if opening the lid will void the warranty or not, which in any case I don't mind, cause I know I won't be needing the warranty on this machine. And secondly, when you try to remove the lid, you will find some resistance, and it's nothing like a ribbon cable or anything, it's just a thermal pad that goes on top of the SSD and makes contact with the bottom lid, so it's kinda sticky, and that makes the resistance when removing the bottom lid. The future has brought very good things, and the possibility of having such a powerful full PC in such a tiny space, it's a wonder. Although the mini PC concept has been around for several years now, they are getting faster and more powerful while fitting comfortably on the palm of your hand with the years.

If you need a new PC, and want to save a pretty penny, while also saving energy and getting serious power to the same level of some mid to high end full desktop PCs, I would suggest you to give this one a try. I mean, the only computer this tiny PC cannot compete with, is my main full desktop computer which is a Ryzen 9 7950X3D with a MSI MEG motherboard and a high end graphics card, but we're talking about almost 6-8 times the cost of this tiny PC which is just a little beast!
