It also supports three 4K displays simultaneously via HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort and USB‑C, all capped at 3840×2160 @ 60 Hz. Those video capabilities are rare in a device priced under $250.

At 45.72 mm high, 129.54 mm long and 127 mm wide, the E4 is taller and longer than the GMKtec G3 Plus (42 mm height, 114 mm length) but still fits comfortably on a desk. Weighing 1.19 Pounds, it’s heavier than the G3 Plus’s 0.789 Pounds yet lighter than the Acemagic K1’s 1.433 Pounds, placing it in the middle of the pack for portable mini PCs.

Professional reviewers praise the triple‑display flexibility and the dual LAN ports for network redundancy, while users love the easy access to the 16 GB DDR4 SODIMM and two M.2 slots that can expand storage up to 4 TB. The integrated AMD Radeon Vega 8 runs at 1200 MHz, which is adequate for office apps and light media, but the mobile‑grade Ryzen 5 3550H (2.1 GHz base, 3.7 GHz boost, 35 W TDP) shows lower sustained performance than desktop CPUs. Users commonly complain about Wi‑Fi 5 (802.11ac) and occasional fan noise under load.

Best for: Entry-level buyers or those on a tight budget

Avoid if: You need powerful performance or professional‑grade features
