Mini PCs Are Seriously Angering Buyers: Here's the AliExpress Deal Saving Hundreds

Save Big on This Windows 11 Mini PC From GMKtec and Get Started for a Fraction of the Rival Model's Cost

While AI is driving up the price of almost every piece of consumer technology, many cheaper and more compact PCs are becoming popular. They probably won't play the latest games at 4K resolution or high frame rates, but they can be a reliable workhorse that costs less than other options.

Main item: This GMKtec M6 Ultra Mini PC. Despite the name, it doesn't include an Apple M6 chip, but it does have an AMD Ryzen 5 7640HS chip inside. And perhaps best of all, see 60% off on AliExpress.

Editor's Note: This article is brought to you by AliExpress.

The retailer is offering the Mini Marvel for just £399.64, a steep discount from its £1,020.90 RRP, with 16GB of RAM for multitasking and 512GB of SSD storage.

I'm old enough to remember when a similar spec machine cost hundreds more than this, and that's before the RAMpocalypse... though maybe I'm just showing my age.

The PC runs the original version of Windows 11 Pro out of the box, and what the AMD Radeon 760M GPU lacks in power, this PC makes up for in ports. There's WiFi 6E and LAN connectivity, as well as HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort and USB 4.0 connections. In many ways, this is an ideal media server, especially at this price.

You can also add more storage and RAM in time, so if you want to see it again after the RAM price drops, you can upgrade to 128GB of DDR5 and 8TB of M.2 storage.

Reviews are also very positive. AliExpress customers have awarded GMKtec's M6 Ultra Mini PC an average rating of 4.9 out of 5, with reviewers commenting that an HDMI cable and VESA mount are also included - a good score.

Grab one of these, hook up a monitor, and you're off to the races for light work — and at a huge discount.
