This triple 4K Ryzen mini PC with 32GB RAM is only $320 right now
When you’re working at home, there’s nothing better than a clear desk with minimal clutter and distraction for maximum concentration—and laptop workstations are not the way to achieve that. Forget the USB hub and messy cables. Get a mini PC instead, one that you can tuck away beneath (or behind) a monitor. You won’t regret it. Right now, this GMKtec M5 Plus mini PC is only $319.96 on Amazon with a 20% discount that cuts it down from its usual $400. That’s a fantastic price for a powerful home office PC that can be mounted to the back of a VESA-compatible monitor. Not only are the specs pretty good, but you’ll have a hard time finding an equal laptop at this price. Here’s what you get inside: an AMD Ryzen 7 5825U processor, a whopping 32GB of RAM (which is great even if it’s only DDR4), a 1TB SSD for ample storage of apps and files, plus user-upgradeability that lets you push the hardware up to 64GB of RAM and 4TB of storage. Just pop open the case and swap the parts out at a later time. The integrated Radeon graphics are nothing to write home about, as they’ll only support the lightest of gaming. But it’s good enough to power up to three 4K@60Hz displays via HDMI, DisplayPort, and USB-C video. Connectivity is also pretty good, with two fast USB-A 3.2, two slower USB-A 2.0, two 2.5Gbps LAN, and a 3.5mm audio jack. It’s an excellent home office PC, especially at this deal price. Get the GMKtec M5 Plus for just $319.96 and enjoy a machine that performs way better than any laptop you could get for the same price!
