A fully custom-built top-of-the-line PC would certainly be a cool thing to have, but not everyone has either the space, budget, or even needs for one of those. Sometimes, a humble mini PC might be just the thing that checks all your boxes. GMKtec has a handful of surprising powerful setups that come in tiny packages, and right now one of them is seeing a pretty steep discount. Amazon normally has this GMKtec M2 Pro S mini Pc going for $650, but after a 29% price reduction, you can now grab it for just $460. That ends up saving you a whole $190 for a limited time.
Diving into the specs, this mini PC is running off an Intel Core i7-1185G7 processor with four cores and eight threads, which is capable of up to 4.8Ghz. It’s equipped an integrated graphics card and contains 16GB of RAM. All and all, it should be more than capable of your average, daily work needs without demanding too much power. Multitasking should be easy and you’ll even be able to stream content in 4K, no problem.
Mini Gaming PC
You can even handle some light gaming. This particular M2 Pro S rig with its Intel Core i7-1185G7 processor can support smooth gameplay for popular titles like Fortnite, Dota 2, Counterstrike, Grid, Overwatch 2, and The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim. The product page even contains recorded gameplay for each of these games running on this machine so buyers can see for themselves. The built-in fan is able to keep tings running cool, even when utilizing the PC for power-hungry tasks like gaming.
As for storage, this mini PC ships with a full 1TB SSD. Even if that is not enough, it has a second slot you can expand to, or fill that and replace the first to be able to achieve up to 4TB of storage. On the same note, RAM is expandable to up to 64GB as well.
When it comes to display options, the mini PC employs two separate HDMI ports along with a USB-C port capable of digital signal transfers. That means you’re able to connect to up to three different screens at once without needing any additional accessories or docking station. Each output terminal is able to display in up to 4K resolution at 60Hz.
Along with these ports for display, the GMKtec mini PC is equipped with three USB-A 3.2 ports and one USB-A 2.0 port for adding on peripheral like a mouse or keyboard. Bluetooth 5.2 and built-in Wi-Fi 6 are also available.
