Deal | AMD Ryzen 5-powered mini PC with 16 GB DDR5 RAM and 512 GB storage sees $182 discount

RAM and storage prices have made desktops and mini PC deals extremely hard to find. Barebones mini PCs have been largely unaffected by price hikes, although they are simply not an option for people who do not already have RAM and storage sticks lying around.

Thankfully, however, attractive mini PC discounts do still pop up every now and then on Amazon. The GMKtec M6 Ultra is one such system, that is now available with a respectable 33% discount, bringing its price down to just $368 on Amazon for a limited time.

While not quite as low as its all-time low of $323, the current price is perfectly admirable considering the massive DDR5 RAM price hikes of late.

Mini PC with hexa-core Ryzen APU and 16 GB RAM

The M6 Ultra mini PC comes equipped with a powerful Ryzen 5 7640HS APU with 6 cores and 12 threads, and is paired with 16 GB of DDR5-4800 RAM. A 512 GB NVMe SSD handles storage requirements. Our detailed review of the mini PC paints a positive picture, stating no major complaints regarding performance, even under sustained loads. We would have definitely liked faster memory, though.

Gamers may not be very pleased with the mini PC, since it lacks discrete graphics and does not sport an OCuLink port. The USB4 port will work for eGPU setups, but the performance penalty will be much higher than OCuLink. That said, the Radeon 760M iGPU is more than decent enough to handle basic tasks and even some extremely lightweight gaming.

The I/O on offer has been detailed below:

• Single USB4
• Single USB 2.0 Type-A, triple USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A
• DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.0
• Dual 2.5G Ethernet
• 3.5 mm audio jack

The M6 Ultra mini PC sports dual Ethernet support, which will definitely be praised by home lab enthusiasts. Wireless connectivity is taken care of by WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2. The storage and memory are also user-upgradeable, up to 8 TB and 128 GB respectively. 

Courtesy of Amazon's 33% price cut, the GMKtec M6 Ultra mini PC is a great choice for folks looking for a moderately powerful home or office mini PC at a good price. Considering the ongoing RAM price fluctuations and time-sensitive nature of Amazon deals, interested folks are definitely requested to act quickly if interested.
