A $319 mini PC with a Ryzen PRO chip is a sneaky-good way to upgrade a desk setup
"Mini PCs are having a moment because they solve a real problem: you want desktop power without a tower, the noise, or the space commitment. The GMKtec M8 mini PC is $319.99 for a limited time, down from $479.99 for 33% off. If you need a compact machine for work, school, a home office, or a living-room PC, this deal stands out because it packs in ports and connectivity that usually cost more."
"At this price, it's a compelling alternative to buying a budget laptop when you already have (or prefer) a monitor, keyboard, and mouse. It can also be a clean way to create a dedicated workstation, a family computer, or a compact machine for a secondary room. Dual NIC is a standout for certain use cases. If you like tinkering with networking, home lab setups, or you just want reliable wired speed, that feature alone narrows the field."
GMKtec M8 mini PC pairs an AMD Ryzen PRO 6650H (6 cores/12 threads, up to 4.50GHz) with 16GB DDR5 RAM and a 512GB PCIe SSD, providing practical baseline performance for multitasking and light creative work. The unit includes dual 2.5GbE LAN ports, USB4, Oculink, HDMI, and USB-C, enabling fast wired networking, high-speed peripherals, and expandability options. The port selection supports tidy desk setups and more serious configurations than typical compact PCs. The discounted price of $319.99 (33% off) positions the system as an attractive alternative to budget laptops for users who already own a monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Dual NIC capability benefits home labs and networking tinkers.
