These days, your home office could do better than a wimpy laptop or a towering desktop PC. If you care about getting the most performance for the least amount of money, you’re better off with a mini PC. “But what if I’m a gamer?” you ask. No worries! Today, this GMKtec M8 mini PC is on sale for just $371 on Amazon (that’s 30% off its MSRP) and it has just the right features to serve as a passable gaming machine.
Despite the freakishly low price, the GMKtec M8 has a surprisingly decent configuration: a Ryzen 5 Pro 6650H processor, 16GB of ultra-fast LPDDR5 memory, and a spacious 1TB SSD. That’s a great combo for the price, providing enough hardware to smoothly handle Windows 11 (we don’t recommend less than 16GB of RAM) as well as your apps and browser tabs without slowing to a crawl. You can also user-upgrade later up to a total of 8TB of storage.
But let’s talk about the gaming bits. Right out of the box, you get AMD Radeon 660M integrated graphics with 16 cores, which itself is powerful enough to handle 4K video editing and modest gaming frame rates. It’s also powerful enough to support triple 8K/60Hz displays, which you can connect via HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4, and USB4 ports. But there’s also an OCuLink port for attaching a high-speed external GPU, allowing you to unlock ultra-high gaming performance if you wish.
All of this for just $371, down from $530? That’s an insane deal, so don’t pass this opportunity up. Grab the GMKtec M8 on sale while you can!
