Peladn HO5 with Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 arrives on Amazon

I’m not sure how many of you still remember a brand called PRADEON, but we have published quite a few articles about it, especially since it also made GeForce cards. The Chinese company later changed its name to PELADN, and its focus appears to have shifted from GPUs to mini PCs in recent years, although it still makes graphics cards.

The company has recently released a new mini PC called HO5, which is now available on Amazon, with a listed price of $919 at the time of writing. The configuration includes an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and integrated Radeon 890M graphics, paired with 32GB LPDDR5X and a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD. It also advertises dual 2.5GbE, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and USB4, plus support for up to three displays, with the listing mentioning 4K60.

A key feature on this model is OCuLink, which targets external GPU setups that need higher bandwidth than typical USB4 eGPU enclosures. Notebookcheck highlights OCuLink as a differentiator in this segment, particularly compared to some competing mini PC lines that do not include the port.

Notebookcheck also published a full review of the HO5. In the verdict, it describes the system as delivering high CPU performance for productivity, solid iGPU performance for gaming at adjusted settings, and good efficiency and temperatures. The review adds that the fan curve can react quickly to load changes, and that the RAM is soldered, which limits upgrade options. You can find more information below.
