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