Rank #6 in Best Mini PC 2026: Ten Listings, Seven Computers
BOSGAME E5 Mini PC, Ryzen 3 5300U, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, Dual 2.5G LAN
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The BOSGAME E5 costs £249 and is rated 4.6 stars from 145 ratings, with a Ryzen 3 5300U, 16GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD and two 2.5 gigabit network ports.\n\nIt takes sixth because the hardware is the best value here for anyone who wants two network ports, and because its title claims a clock speed its own bullet contradicts by 700 megahertz.
How those 145 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.6 stars.

Is the title clock speed right?
No: a Ryzen 3 5300U boosts to 3.8GHz, as the bullet and the sibling listing say.

Twice the speed of gigabit, and two of them make this a router or NAS.
Does it come with a UK plug?
The field says a shaver plug; buyers report receiving a working supply.
Can I add storage?
Yes, there is a second M.2 slot inside.
Why is it sixth?
Because the hardware is excellent value but the page contradicts itself on speed and on sockets.

145 at the time of collection, averaging 4.6 stars, with 80 per cent five-star and 4 per cent one-star.
