Firebat Z8 launches as cheap mini PC with AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS

The Firebat Z8 is another new AMD Hawk Point mini PC that was recently launched. Like the fake AOOSTAR GEM13 we covered, it features the AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS, a top-end processor from the lineup. With the much-known Radeon 780M iGPU, this compact computer can handle a good number of games at medium to low settings.

But if you want to crank things up a notch, you can hook up an external graphics card with the Firebat Z8. The mini PC has a USB4, which may not be as good as OCuLink for eGPU setups, but it's still better than nothing. Besides the USB4 port, the unit has one USB Type-C, two HDMI, two 2.5G Ethernet, two USB 3.2 Type-A, and two USB 2.0 Type-A ports.

Thanks to the USB Type-C and HDMI ports, you can hook up to four 4K monitors with the Firebat Z8. As far as the wireless connectivity options go, the mini PC sports WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2.

These specs don't make the Firebat Z8 special, as there are many other mini PCs with similar configurations. What really makes this compact PC stand out is the price. Its barebones variant costs only CNY 1,999 (about $275), making it one of the cheapest Ryzen 7 7845HS systems available in the market.

As for the other variants, the one with 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB storage costs CNY 2,699 (around $371), while the top-end option with 32 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage costs CNY 3,299 (roughly $453). Of course, Firebat hasn't said anything about international pricing and availability yet, but its past products that were launched in the global markets were on the affordable side (MN56 with Ryzen 7 7735HS available at $379.99).
