Community Reviews
The FIREBAT AM02 is a barebones Ryzen 7 H255 mini PC that looks strongest as a compact general rig, HTPC, or retro gaming box once RAM and storage are added. The 780M graphics are described as solid for emulation and light gaming, and the chip is treated as broadly similar to other 8745H class parts, with no NPU on the H255. The catch is the extra cost of DDR5 SODIMM memory and NVMe storage, which can push the real total much higher. Cooling also looks modest, with reports of warm sustained loads and a likely 45W limit, so it suits lighter use better than long heavy GPU work.
Common Questions (5)
The AM02 appears to have modest cooling, with reports of about 86C after a 10-minute Cinebench multi-thread run and concerns that it may struggle to hold more than roughly 45W under sustained load. A laptop cooler or added airflow is recommended for gaming or other CPU/GPU-intensive use.
The H255's 780M iGPU is strong for retro gaming and emulation, and it can handle general gaming reasonably well. It is also close to the Ryzen 7 8745HS in power, but sustained GPU-heavy loads may be limited by the AM02's cooling.
The H255 is an Asian-market variant with no NPU and slightly lower clocks than the Ryzen 7 260: 780M graphics at 2.6GHz versus 2.7GHz and max CPU boost of 4.9GHz versus 5.1GHz. It is also described as basically identical in power to the 8745HS.
No RAM or SSD are included, so you need laptop DDR5 SODIMM memory and an NVMe drive to make it usable. Windows activation warnings suggest it may not include a valid Windows license, or it may be tied to Windows 11 Home rather than Pro.
A usable build can land around $310+tax with used parts or about $450+tax with new parts. One breakdown puts 16GB RAM plus a 512GB SSD at roughly $180+tax used or about $300+tax new, while 32GB and 1TB can push the total much higher.

- H255 has 780M GPU clocked at 2.6GHz vs 2.7 on the 260.
- Max CPU boost of 4.9 GHz vs 5.1 on the 260.
- No NPU (AI) on the H255.
Keep getting stuck at "redirecting to payments " after taking my CC info
Was anyone able to order one ?

While it was stuck I also hit refresh without having an issue.
Has any of these ever been caught on fire itself? Spontaneous combustion?
I plan on using this for proxmox and hate to have to power on/off constantly.
