With all the hoopla about the new Mac Mini M4 yesterday, here is some love from the Windows Mini PC camp.

  1. AMD AI Ryzen 9 8945HS processor, 8 cores & 16 threads, 16 MB L3 cache, max 5.2 GHz

  2. Integrated AMD Radeon 780M graphics card

  3. DDR5 32GB RAM 5600Mhz (Expandable)

  4. 1TB M.2 SSD (Expandable) 2 x M.2 2280 PCIe4.0 SSD slots.

  5. HDMI 2.1, DP 1.4 , and 2 x USB4, supporting maximum resolution of 8K at 60Hz/4K at 144Hz.

  6. Input / Output: 2 x 45.2G RJ5 Ethernet ports, 1 x Oculink port, 4 x USB3.2 Gen2 Type-A ports, 2 x USB4 ports, 1 × HDMI 2.1, 1 × DP 1.4, 1 × audio jack, 1 × DMIC.

Or if the Mac Mini M4 is tempting you, you can build a Windows Mini PC vs this Windows Micro PC. Ryzen 8600G APU, 32GB DDR5 Ram, 2TB SSD M.2, Motherboard MSI B650M Pro, $150 for a decent Mini Case & PS. All for $836. 2 x the Ram, 8x the storage. Pretty much nearly as fast as the M4 Mac Mini.

      On special again.

    • seriousquokka on 30/10/2024 - 23:23

      Noticed that too. And limited time offer all the time.

    • FiveDarrah on 31/10/2024 - 00:02

      Saw this with the GMKtec at $240 during prime. After prime is was $300 with a $60 off coupon (checkbox).

    • kaikor on 31/10/2024 - 09:56

      Yeah, again the usual BS illusion to trick you

  • Watanabe1995 on 30/10/2024 - 23:30

    This or [Pre Order] Apple Mac Mini M4 from $815.10 Delivered @ Apple On Campus (e.g. Australian Education Union)?

    I'm confused by integrated graphics card. Surely 'integrated graphics' means that there isn't any graphics card?

    • Dollar Dreamer on 31/10/2024 - 00:11

      yea like the mac Mini/

    • Mooncakes on 31/10/2024 - 00:13

      it has a 780M integrated graphics, so it does have a gpu but it's not a dedicated gpu card like a 4060 for example. CPU and GPU is on 1 chip, it's a decent 1080p gpu for most games.

    • mfu on 31/10/2024 - 00:52

      Integrated graphics mean that the GPU is on the CPU. A PC will not work without GPU, most CPU already has IGPU embed, some that didn't have IGPU will require separated graphic card to work.

    • sickaunt on 31/10/2024 - 10:07

      Yep, it's poorly-worded. It's either 'integrated' or 'card', literally cannot be both since 'card' implies a separate physical card that is mounted in a separate slot on the mobo. Integrated chip would be an acceptable/logical way to refer to it.

      Using the less common RJ5 jack

  • Dollar Dreamer on 31/10/2024 - 00:44

    Or you can build a Mini PC vs this micro PC. Ryzen 8600G APU, 32GB DDR5 Ram, 2TB SSD M.2, Motherboard MSI B650M Pro, $150 for a decent Mini Case & PS. All for around $830. Compared with the new Mac Mini M4, 2 x the Ram, 8x the storage. Pretty much nearly as fast as the M4 Mac Mini.

    Overpriced

    R9-8945HS is another fake AMD re-brand of the R7-8845HS

    For an extra $130 Lenovo were providing a 16" screen, huge battery and keyboard in a fully portable laptop chassis

    For an extra $300 Lenovo upgrades the above to an OLED screen plus 1TB SSD

    Minisforum make decent mini PC's but this model is worth $800 max

    • Dollar Dreamer on 31/10/2024 - 02:47

      Damn.

    • meong on 31/10/2024 - 06:37

      This mini PC comes with oculink though but it doesn't make this any better in value as you can get a barebone version for around $300-$400 from Aliexpress and build your own from there for another $150

    • RedHab on 31/10/2024 - 07:56

      Definitely overpriced, that's why the OP had try to compare it to something even more overpriced, the Mac Mini.

      Points to for the OP's marketing abilities.

      • Clear on 31/10/2024 - 09:34

        Comparing a mini PC to a laptop isn't a fair comparison though. Both have different use cases.

        • meong on 31/10/2024 - 14:27

          you should check all the other posts where some users would comment on every mini PC deals and tell people to buy gaming PCs from Techfast instead

          • Clear on 31/10/2024 - 17:14

            @meong: Yep the same deal. I personally use a number of Mini PCs as small servers around the place and this does it better than a laptop and gaming PC easily.

            • meong on 31/10/2024 - 17:48

              @Clear: Plus oculink for future expandability

            @meong: That's because inevitably people start discussing gaming performance, and these make terrible value as gaming machines.

            If you want a gaming machine, then people absolutely should buy one from Techfast.

            The use case for these is not gaming machines.

            • meong on 03/11/2024 - 00:07

              @Nom: There you go… I have summoned you.

              Did you eventually read more about Oculink? Or are you still going to trash on people's post based on your limited knowledge?

              Do yourself a favour and read this:
              https://www.howtogeek.com/why-my-next-pc-could-be-a-mini-pc-…

              • Nom on 03/11/2024 - 10:26
                -1

                @meong: Sorry, I don't know what you're trying to say.

                We all know what Oculink is.

                A mini PC with an Oculink graphics card setup costs significantly more than an equivalent ITX machine that can host a graphics card internally on a single power supply.

                If you think that it's a better option, then it's up to you to justify why.

                My position is that it's terrible value, and it doesn't bring anything to the party except possibly bad aesthetics depending on how you mount and power the external card.

                • meong on 03/11/2024 - 10:59

                  @Nom: Did you even read the article?

                  I think i have responded to you in the past but you dropped the convo every time i come back with technical explanation.

                  • Nom on 03/11/2024 - 16:18
                    -1

                    @meong: Yes I read the article. I don't know what else you want to hear 🤷🏼‍♂️

                    Oculink has been around since before Covid, to connect U.2 drives to server boards, I've used it plenty of times to do this over the years, with great success - it's just PCIe x4 on a cable. I've even had some chassis that use it to get the HBA out of the main case and into the storage unit.

                    I'm not sure what the technical explanation or usual use cases, have to do with the value in mini PCs.

                    • meong on 03/11/2024 - 21:31

                      @Nom: Have you even gamed on a minipc or even tried any heavy processing on a miniPC like in the recent years?

                      • Nom on 04/11/2024 - 00:01
                        -1

                        @meong: Yes, I have multiple and I use them all the time.

                        But not for gaming, I have an actual gaming PC for that use case, because trying to game on a Mini PC is a terrible experience when compared to an actual gaming machine 😁

                        • meong on 04/11/2024 - 10:38

                          @Nom: so you never tried it yourself yet you keep on advising people against it…

                          🤦‍♂️

    very happy with it so far

    • TheUsualSuspect on 31/10/2024 - 09:51

      I've had my eye on this one too. Wondering if theres a chance for a price drop soon. When it does, might jump on it.

    • hhuy837 on 31/10/2024 - 10:12

      I am so out of touch with computers these days.

      Do these come with windows pre-installed?

      Can these be used as a workhorse rather than a gaming computer?

      • vk4ma on 31/10/2024 - 14:27
        +1

        Yes - Windows came loaded - they are ideal for work horsing - gaming these days is all about top end graphics cards which of course these do not have - so these mini PCs are ideal for my needs. They also draw considerably less power than a full size PC which is great as mine run 24 hours a day. You just take it out of the box and set it up as you would any PC - simple as. The only question I have is around durability as my oldest mini is only 18 months old but so far so good….

        • hhuy837 on 31/10/2024 - 16:15

          Thanks!

    Another observation re Mac vs PC mini……I purchased a Mac to try out the Apple ecosystem……although software made for the Mac was prettier I could not believe the price of software made for Mac versus PC equivalents. I calculated it was going to cost me about $500 more to deck out my Mac with the software I needed versus near zero cost for the PC equivalent. I have a special use case (ham radio) but even so, it appears Mac developers are able to charge a lot more for their software may be because their market is less informed. I moved the Mac on and went back to mini PC

    • Dollar Dreamer on 31/10/2024 - 14:02

      Also Mac users are less geeky, you can rip them off easier too. My friend sold his base spec Mac Mini M1 (8Gb Ram and 256GB storage), 4 years old for $700 on Gumtree to a chick 2 days ago. His upgrade to the new M4 Mac Mini cost him $115 via the Apple EDU store $815 price. I can see the lure to go Apple, resale value.
