Forget Mac Mini, Amazon's 4.8 Star Mini PC (16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) Is Practically Free at 65% Off

Gizmodo18-07-2025
You would think Amazon would have plenty of shelf space for as many mini PCs as they want, but the way they've been blowing them out with truly crazy sale prices, you have to wonder. The latest is this 65% off limited-time deal on the NIMO Mini PC Desktop, which you could very happily make room for on your desktop at this wild sale price of just $140.
Like most mini PCs, the NIMO is truly palm-sized — just 4.92 by 4.33 by 1.57 inches and weighing a feathery 11.6 ounces. But it packs enough power and has enough ports to run three external monitors, all in vivid 4K resolution, and it has a full terabyte of on-board storage so you won't need to add an external hard drive to your shopping cart.

The key to the NIMO's ability to punch so far above its very small weight class is the 12th Gen Intel N100 processor that cooks along at a very healthy 3.4GHz so you can multitask while the NIMO powers as many as three 4K monitors. The NIMO needs a powerful engine like the 12th Gen Intel N100, because it also has 4 total USB ports, 2 HDMI ports, a Giga LAN port, and an SD Card reader.
The NIMO runs Windows 11 and all of its many components, but if you're a coder or otherwise tech-savvy, the NIMO can also run Ubuntu and Linux with equal ability. Your online activity will move along just as quickly as everything else the mighty-mite NIMO can do, thanks to Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 connections. And that SD Card reader is the perfect venue for moving files back and forth to the NIMO, or if for some reason you want to add to the 1TB of built-in storage with as much as 512GB via an SD card.
The NIMO Mini PC Desktop comes with a power adapter and a mounting bracket. If you did a double-take on that last part, you're not alone. But the NIMO Mini PC is small enough and, most importantly, lightweight enough that it can be mounted on the back of a monitor. Add a couple of wire-management tricks and the NIMO literally disappears behind its monitor. If you're using it with a wall-mounted big screen, there's still room to tuck the NIMO in behind the screen to hide it and all of its wiring.
The NIMO Mini PC Desktop in 1TB format with 16GB of RAM normally sells for $400, but Amazon's sending their stock of mini PCs to the front of the line with crazy sale prices like this one for just $140. You provide the monitors and keyboard/mouse, and the NIMO Mini PC Desktop will handle the rest of your computer needs.

Circle stock rises after quarterly revenue beats estimates in first earnings since blockbuster IPO

Circle (CRCL) stock jumped 2% in afternoon trading on Tuesday after the stablecoin issuer posted better-than-expected quarterly revenue for the first time since going public. The company reported second quarter total revenue of $658 million, versus the $647 million analysts expected. CEO Jeremy Allaire said the company's stablecoin, USDC (USDC-USD), was the "fastest-growing major stablecoin over the past year." USDC in circulation grew 90% year-over-year to $61.3 billion at quarter end, and has grown an additional 6.4% to $65.2 billion as of Aug 10. "Overall activity globally in the digital asset economy has been growing," Allaire told Yahoo Finance on Tuesday morning. "We're continuing to see growth in the use of dollar digital currencies like USDC as a store of value around the world in cross-border settlements," he added. "Use cases continue to expand, and I think people are finding that this is an incredibly high utility, new form of money." The company also announced ARC, a new blockchain network for stablecoin finance that will launch in the second half of the year. "We wanted to create a way for institutions to pay fees on blockchains in a fast, predictable manner that would be simple from an accounting perspective and could deliver very low-cost and stable fees," CEO Jeremy Allaire said during the company's earnings call on Tuesday morning. The stock is up roughly 480% from its IPO price of $31 per share as crypto-friendly legislation has lifted the sector. Circle has been at the center of optimism over the stablecoin market following the passage of the GENIUS Act, legislation that creates guardrails and a framework for digital tokens backed by assets such as the US dollar. Circle makes much of its money from interest income, specifically from short-term Treasury bills backing its stablecoin, USDC. The company's reserve income increased 50% year over year to $634 million, primarily from an 86% growth in USDC stablecoin circulation. Allaire indicated if the Fed reserve cuts interest rates and yields on short term treasuries decline, the growth of stablecoins will offset decline in rates. "We believe that lower interest rates are going to be accelerative to the business, as money velocity picks up, as invested capital picks up, and as more people are putting money to use in the economy, this very high utility form of money will grow," said Allaire. The company also shares part of its revenue with Coinbase (COIN), a major distribution partner. Last month, Compass Point analyst Ed Engel flagged the risk of rising distribution costs as the company expands its network while continuing to share a portion of its interest income. On Tuesday morning, Engel said Circle's gross profit margin guidance of 36% to 38% for fiscal year 2025 "slightly underwhelmed." Engel said that forecast implies second half margins will come in below the first half of the year's 39%, writing "we would have expected higher gross margins in 2H25." "While CRCL's lower margin guidance could be due to conservatism, CRCL's recent partnerships don't seem to benefiting the near-term margin outlook. As such, we reiterate our Sell rating and $130 PT," he wrote. However, others on Wall Street saw the stock as a way for investors to participate in rising enthusiasm over stablecoins. "CRCL is a global leader in stablecoins and is the purest stablecoin play in the public markets right now, and we anticipate further gains in the shares as the company creates new opportunities for itself and its partners," Seaport Research analyst Jeff Cantwell wrote last month. The analyst has a Buy rating and price target of $280 on the stock. Circle's results come as the overall market hovers near all-time highs and crypto rallies on expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts and President Trump's push to include crypto in 401(k) plans. Prior to the earnings release, Wall Street analysts had nine Buy, five Hold, and four Sell ratings on Circle stock. Ines Ferre is a senior business reporter for Yahoo Finance.
