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.

    man, that's one fast ethernet port

    • buffalo bill on 31/10/2024 - 01:55

      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

    better value I think.
    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.
