Mini PCs and handheld gaming devices are getting impressively powerful CPUs, but their graphics capabilities still lag behind desktop machines by a wide margin. Integrated graphics can handle everyday tasks and lighter games just fine, but demanding titles or creative work that needs GPU acceleration quickly expose the limitations. External GPU docks have become a popular solution for bridging that gap, letting you plug a desktop graphics card into a compact device whenever you need the extra horsepower.

Mini PCs offer a third option from laptops and desktop PCs if you're looking to run Windows without spending too much cash. They work brilliantly as dedicated work stations, supplemental devices to your other devices to get work done, or as your main device if you don't want to take up too much space. They even make for handy little gaming units.

The retailer has dropped the price of the Lenovo ThinkCentre Tiny M70q Gen 5 PC to just $800, after a massive 64% discount. Even better, you're not just getting the PC. This deal also includes a USB Calliope keyboard and mouse, plus Windows 11 pre-installed. That's a full setup ready to go right out of the box. The deal, however, is selling fast, and there's no telling how long the offer or the stock will stick around.

Apple's Mac Mini gets all the attention for compact computing but plenty of people need powerful Windows machines that don't take up half a desk. Developers running Windows-only software, small business owners managing Microsoft ecosystems, content creators working with Adobe suites, and anyone tired of bulky tower PCs all face the same challenge: serious processing power in a tiny package that runs Windows natively.

Desktop gaming (usually) means building a tower PC or shelling out premium prices for something capable. The GMKtec K8 Plus flips that equation by packing serious gaming hardware into a mini PC that now costs less than Apple's base Mac Mini, and Amazon just dropped it to a record low of $519 (down from $738). With an AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS processor, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, integrated Radeon 780M graphics, and a 1TB SSD, this pocket-sized system handles AAA gaming at 1080p.

Also: I found a mini PC that performs like a speed demon (and comes in bold colors) The Mini certainly gave it a run for its money. And while being hampered by an inferior OS. Note to all companies sending me PCs to review: Please send me machines with Linux preinstalled. Not only do I find it far easier to review computers with Linux, but it also shows consumers that you do offer open-source options.

If you haven't got the largest living space-perhaps you're in a one bedroom or even a studio-you know just how valuable every square inch is. You may not have the room for a massive computer on your desk. Maximize your workspace by downsizing your PC. This mini PC from KAMRUI is currently on sale for 25% off. It normally is going for $400, but right now it's come down to just $299. Save $101 for a limited time.

Within the memory division, the M5 Plus comes equipped with 32GB of DDR4 RAM that runs in dual channel which is a rich provision for a mini PC in this range. If you ever need to push it further, the system is expandable up to 64GB. With such a figure of RAM, you can go about office tasks, heavy browsing sessions, and gaming without feeling any delay. Storage won't hinder you either, with a speedy 1TB PCIe 3.0 SSD.

The GK3Plus is a small but serious desktop replacement based on Intel's 12th-gen Alder Lake N95 chip. Clocking up to 3.4GHz on 4 cores and 6MB of cache, it's a clear performance step up from the N100 and other previous-gen chips. Benchmarks show that it's about 35% faster on CPU workloads and nearly 80% better on GPU, so more responsive multitasking and better graphics for your everyday needs.

The Geekom IT15 enters a mini-PC market that has long been dominated by one product over all others: the Apple Mac mini. Windows contenders have come and gone, with big-name makers like Dell, HP, ASUS, Acer all trying to offer their own alternative for the compact desktop computer consumer, and all largely failing to make any lasting impression at all.

Beelink's new SEi13 Pro mini PC features built-in speakers and a microphone, setting it apart in a crowded market and enhancing interaction with AI models.
