Amazon Kicks Off Its Summer Clearance, The Intel Mini PC with 512GB SSD Hits a New Record Low

Gizmodo31-07-2025
If it is out of your budget to spend $1,000 or $2,000 for a full-sized laptop or desktop, buying a mini PC is a smart move. You just attach a monitor, keyboard, and mouse to have a full system that will cost a fraction of a standard computer. One of our favorites currently is the GMKtec mini PC with an Intel processor, 12GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 512GB SSD: This one sells for $157 on Amazon, down from usually around $230.

The 2025 Intel Twin Lake N150 CPU is a quad-core chip that supports four threads and can turbo boost as high as 3.6GHz, building on the Alder Lake N100 with a roughly 6% to 10% performance increase, and gains about 15% over the N95. This mini PC handles everyday tasks, office work and media playback smoothly and feels faster than many traditional low-power desktops.
The device is equipped with a healthy 12GB of DDR5 RAM, running at up to 4800 MT/s. The newer RAM technology here offers greater speed and better power efficiency than DDR4, meaning opening several software programs and rapidly switching between browser windows or programs won't wear you out. The mini PC boots instantly with a 512GB M.2 2242 SSD and lets you copy files and open documents within fractions of a second with no waiting time.
This GMKtech PC features three USB 3.2 ports with speeds of up to 5 Gbps, as well as two HDMI ports with 4K at 60Hz support, as well as one DisplayPort 1.4 output. That equates to being able to connect up to three separate 4K monitors simultaneously which makes this little machine a workhorse for home theater or productivity purposes.
The mini PC has WiFi 6, or 802.11ax which is capable of reaching speeds of up to 600Mbps for fast and reliable internet access. It also has Bluetooth 5.2 which lets you connect your mouse, keyboard, speakers, or other device without a lag or dropout. Its two Gigabit Ethernet ports make it ready for wired network setups with quick and stable connections, which some might need in home offices or streams.
If you've been thinking about upgrading your setup (or trying out a mini PC for the first time), now's a great time.

Trump reportedly signs order granting another 90-day extension on harshest China tariffs

President Trump on Monday signed an executive order implementing another 90-day pause on additional tariffs on China that were set to take effect on Tuesday, reports said. The move again pushes off a deadline for imposing the harshest taxes on Chinese imports as the two sides continue negotiations on a deal. Reports from CNBC, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post all said the president had signed the order, which will push the deadline for these tariffs back to Nov. 9. The White House didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. The extension appears to mean that headline rates agreed to in May of 30% on Chinese imports and 10% on American goods will continue for the immediate future and avoid a snap-back to previous triple-digit levels. Sector-specific tariffs on goods like steel and some medical supplies will keep the effective tariff rate between the two countries higher. The reported tariff agreement also comes amid an increased focus from Trump in recent days on Russia and the war in Ukraine, with Trump putting an additional 25% tariff on imports from India over that nation's consumption of Russian oil. The new pause could also increase the odds for a meeting later this year between Presidents Trump and Xi. The two men's teams have both floated the concept of a face-to-face meeting, perhaps as soon as the coming Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in South Korea at the end of October. Monday's announcement also came after three meetings of the two trade teams in recent months — gatherings that took place in Geneva in May, London in June, and Stockholm in July — resulted in signs of progress though tensions remain between the two sides. He Lifeng, China's vice premier for economic policy, has represented his country at all three meetings. A representative for He — Chinese trade negotiator Li Chenggang — said after the most recent round in Sweden that the two sides had 'candid exchanges over their economic concerns,' according to a translation. Certain issues like semiconductors, including a plan to allow the resumption of Nvidia's (NVDA) AI chip exports to China, as well as Chinese exports of rare earth minerals have been most in focus of the talks so far with a long list of issues between the two nations still to discuss. Over the weekend, the Trump administration struck a deal with Nvidia and AMD to allow those chipmakers to sell some chips into the Chinese market in exchange for a 15% cut of the sales.

Tesla Stock Nears Breakout as Model Y Demand Soars Ahead of Tax Credit Cut

Aug 11 - Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) shares extended their winning streak Monday, climbing 3.5% to $341.8 and aiming for a fourth consecutive day of gains. The move puts the stock on the verge of a potential technical breakout, with chart watchers flagging $368 as the next key target if it can hold above the $338 resistance level, according to strategist Mark Newton. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with PSKY. Fresh data on Tesla's order backlog shows Model Y wait times stretching to four-to-six weeks, up from one-to-three earlier this summer. The jump suggests rising demand, likely fueled by buyers rushing to secure the soon-to-expire $7,500 federal tax credit. The incentive, scaled back under President Donald Trump's July 4 tax bill, has created a sense of urgency among prospective EV owners. Year to date, Tesla shares remain down about 18%, reflecting a challenging first half. However, over the past 12 months, the stock has rallied roughly 65%, supported by improving production metrics, pricing stability, and renewed enthusiasm for the company's growth story. For many Tesla bulls, the real long-term catalyst remains the company's autonomous-driving technology. Advocates believe its progress in full self-driving capabilities could open up entirely new revenue streams and transform Tesla's earnings profile over the next decade.
