Conclusion - Inexpensive mini PC with not quite perfect features
The Chuwi Aubox impresses in our review as a powerful and compact mini PC. The high-quality aluminum casing is not only visually appealing, but also functional - thanks to the VESA mount and a good selection of connections including USB4 and 2.5G LAN, the mini PC is quite versatile. The built-in AMD Ryzen 7 8745HS delivers the performance that was to be expected. Nevertheless, Chuwi gives away a lot of 3D performance by using only one RAM module out of the box.
A positive aspect is the low energy consumption compared to conventional desktop PCs. Other models such as the Geekom A8 Max or the Minisforum EliteMini UM890 Pro show that it can be even better. All in all, the Chuwi Aubox is a well-rounded overall package with strong performance, good features and fair pricing - ideal for office, multimedia and even light gaming if you are willing to install a second RAM module. For less than 400 euros, there is hardly a serious competitor in this price range. The questionable RAM configuration can also be overlooked.
Pros
+ high-quality aluminum housing in a simple design
+ perfect workmanship
+ AMD Ryzen 7 8745HS with usable everyday performance
+ Dual 2.5G LAN
+ USB 4
+ stable SSD performance
+ sophisticated cooling concept
+ easy to open
Cons
- limited BIOS options
- no OCuLink interface
- no manually customizable fan control
- 16 GB DDR5 RAM
- low iGPU performance (since only one RAM module is installed)
Price and availability
The Chuwi Aubox can be ordered directly from the manufacturer for currently 388 euros / 440 dollars, shipping costs not included.
Table of Contents
The Chuwi Aubox is one of the manufacturer's latest mini PCs and is based on an AMD Ryzen 7 8745HS with eight cores and 16 threads from the Hawk Point HS series. Compared to the technically similar Ryzen 7 8845HS and 8945HS, the built-in chip differs only slightly in terms of clock speed and has no NPU. With a price of around 400 euros, the mini PC is particularly attractive and in some cases significantly cheaper than many other devices in this performance class.

Case & features - sleek aluminum casing
The Chuwi Aubox Mini-PC comes in a compact aluminum housing (154×152×45 mm, approx. 740 g) and can also be attached directly to the backside of a monitor thanks to the VESA mount. However, due to its stylish appearance, the mini PC definitely belongs on the desk. The high-quality casing is both visually and haptically impressive and shows that even inexpensive mini PCs do not have to do without a stylish exterior. The connections are spread across the sides and rear and cover the most important connections, including USB 4. The Chuwi Aubox can control a total of four displays simultaneously. Two 2.5G LAN ports and WLAN are used for network communication. The latter offers solid performance in our test, but does not support the latest standard Wi-Fi 7.

Accessories
The scope of delivery includes a comparatively large 120 watt power supply unit, a VESA bracket with mounting material and a quick start guide.
Maintenance
The Chuwi Aubox Mini-PC is easy to open from below. Four screws have to be unscrewed, which fortunately are not covered by the rubber feet. After removing the screws, the metal cover can be removed. RAM, SSD and the WLAN module are then very easily accessible.
Sustainability
The Chuwi Aubox is supplied in a handy package made mainly of cardboard material and lined with foam inserts. Environmentally friendly approaches are not particularly emphasized by the manufacturer. The enclosed accessories are each packed in plastic bags - not ideal.
Performance - Ryzen 7 with eight cores and 16 threads
The Chuwi Aubox is equipped with the AMD Ryzen 7 8745HS, which has eight native computing cores. The RAM is a 16 GB DDR5 RAM module, which is not necessarily the best solution in terms of performance.
Testing conditions
All tests in this review were carried out in the delivery state. The iGPU is allocated 3 GB of RAM. This value can still be adjusted in the UEFI. However, the UEFI does not offer many customization options.

Processor
The AMD Ryzen 7 8745HS is a powerful 8-core processor and is based on the Zen4 architecture. Unlike the AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS, the 8745HS does not have a separate NPU for accelerating AI workloads. However, if you use special AI applications, you should choose a different model. Compared to the competition, our test sample ranks directly behind the Geekom A8 Max . As an alternative to the AMD Ryzen 7 8745HS, the Chuwi Aubox Mini-PC is also available with an Intel Core i9-13900HK or an AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX.

Cinebench R15 Multi endurance test
The Cinebench R15 endurance test proves that Chuwi has installed a powerful cooling system. The AMD Ryzen 7 8745HS can deliver stable performance even under prolonged load without visibly losing performance. The CPU achieves a maximum power consumption of 75 watts at a maximum temperature of just over 90 °C.

System performance
The subjective performance of the entire system is good and sufficient when it comes to rudimentary home office tasks. However, the main memory turns out to be a bottleneck, which is not only a little tight at 16 GB, but also only works in dual-channel mode. This becomes very clear when looking at the AIDA64 results. This can be counteracted with an additional RAM module.

Storage devices
Our test device uses an SSD with a storage capacity of 512 GB. The mass storage works with PCIe 3.0 speed, which is also shown by our results. However, the Chuwi Aubox does not stand up to the competition. The mini PC can be equipped with two M.2 2280 SSDs. Positive: The case is used for the heat dissipation of the mass storage, which works excellently in practice.

GPU and gaming performance
The iGPU of the AMD Ryzen 7 8745HS is the AMD Radeon 780M provides the 3D computing power in the Chuwi Aubox Mini-PC. However, the iGPU cannot deliver the expected performance due to the RAM configuration. In the performance comparison of the synthetic tests as well as in the gaming benchmarks, it is only enough to compete with an Intel Iris Xe with 96 EUs. If the RAM is expanded with a second module, the performance increases and reaches the values that we achieved with the Geekom A8 Max achieved.

Chuwi Aubox performance check with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 via USB4
Although the Chuwi Aubox Mini-PC does not support OCuLink, USB4 provides a flexible alternative for connecting external GPUs such as a GeForce RTX 4090. This makes it possible to create a compact system for gaming or professional applications. Compared to an OCuLink connection, however, the graphics performance via USB4 is significantly lower.

Emissions - economical, but no efficiency miracle
Noise emissions
Due to the design, the casing does not heat up very much, although the metal surface is also used to dissipate heat from the mass storage. We see slightly higher temperatures in the area of the ventilation openings on the side.

I was already interested in technology from an early age, and I was able to study for my dream job as an IT Systems Electronics Engineer. Subsequently, I started 12 years of military service, during which I learned a lot about technology and constantly kept my knowledge up to date with the latest developments. As I like to share my knowledge, I found Notebookcheck was a very good opportunity for this. In addition, I also work a lot with water cooling and network security.
