Bosgame E6 ECO: a sub-$400 Wildcat Lake mini PC with a catch
A new mini PC from Bosgame lands on August 15, 2026, priced at $379.99 — making it one of the first machines based on Intel's Wildcat Lake architecture to come in under $400. The E6 ECO targets everyday office use and media consumption rather than heavy workloads, and its compact footprint (129 × 128 × 44 mm) means it'll sit comfortably on or behind almost any desk. The main competition is the Beelink EQi 304, which starts at $509 with 24GB of RAM — 34% more expensive and with triple the memory.
The hardware
The processor is an Intel Core 3 304 — a five-core Wildcat Lake chip (one performance core, four efficiency cores) clocked between 1.5 and 4.3 GHz, with a 15W base TDP. Notebookcheck puts its performance on par with an AMD Ryzen 3 210 — solidly capable for a browser, productivity apps, and 4K video, but not a workstation or gaming machine. The chip also includes a 15 TOPS NPU, which is enough to run Windows Copilot features but not enterprise-grade AI workloads.
RAM is 12GB LPDDR5X — an unusual middle ground between the dated 8GB and the now-standard 16GB. The catch, flagged by Windows News: it's soldered to the board. You cannot upgrade it later. Storage starts at a 512GB NVMe PCIe 3.0 drive, with a free M.2 2242 slot supporting the faster PCIe 4.0 standard — an odd arrangement that puts the slower drive as primary and saves the quicker interface for expansion.
The connectivity
Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 are genuine highlights at this price. The port selection covers USB-C, HDMI 2.0, and DisplayPort 1.4, with triple 4K display support. There are also dual Ethernet ports — though the spec sheet lists them as both 2.5GbE and Gigabit in different places, so the final configuration is still unconfirmed. Cooling is handled by dual copper heat pipes and an FDB (fluid dynamic bearing) fan, designed to keep noise low on a machine that typically sits within arm's reach.
Worth buying?
At $379.99, the E6 ECO undercuts Beelink's comparable model by a meaningful margin. The tradeoff is 12GB of non-upgradeable RAM versus 24GB on the pricier rival. If 12GB is enough for your use case — light office work, a media server, or replacing an aging Intel N100 system — the price makes sense. Bosgame is not yet a recognized name on Amazon.co.uk or Scan.co.uk, so US and UK buyers will likely need to order direct from BOSGAME's website until a regional distributor is confirmed.
