Deal | AMD-powered affordable mini PC with Ryzen 5 APU and dual 2.5G Ethernet scores 35% discount courtesy of Black Friday
The Black Friday shopping festival is in full swing, with a plethora of offers and discounts gracing nearly every product category. Mini PCs are no exception, with multiple offerings from GMKtec currently available at all-time low prices on Amazon, such as the Evo-X1 gaming mini PC.
Of course, there are plenty of people who are on a tight budget and do not require overwhelming amounts of CPU or GPU performance. The M6 Ultra mini PC, also from GMKtec, might be a perfect choice for such people, and is now available with a 35% discount, bringing its price down to just under $323 for Prime members.
M6 Ultra mini PC: Affordable performance with dual 2.5G networking
The GMKtec M6 Ultra mini PC is powered by the AMD Ryzen 5 7640HS APU with 6 cores and 12 threads, paired with 16 GB of DDR5 memory at a relatively slow speed of 4,800 MT/s. Our in-depth review of this budget mini PC reveals that there are no major complaints concerning performance, and the system remains stable even under load, revealing a robust cooling system. This specific variant sports a 512 GB SSD.
There is no discrete GPU, which is hardly a surprise. The Radeon 760M iGPU should be enough for lightweight tasks and video acceleration, and even for casual low-end gaming. There is no OCuLink port, which can be forgiven considering the affordable price point. The I/O on offer is as follows:
- USB4
- Triple USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A, single USB 2.0 Type-A
- HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4
- Dual 2.5G Ethernet
- 3.5 mm audio jack
- WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2
Both the memory and storage are user upgradeable, up to 128 GB and 8 TB respectively. This is a must-have many people, and for good reason. Our review further indicates that the GMKtec M6 Ultra mini PC is easy to maintain, and internal access is possible via the removal of the top housing cover and four screws holding the underneath plate in place.
At its current all-time low sale price, the M6 Ultra mini PC is without a doubt a very decent choice for folks with modest performance demands. Home lab enthusiasts on a budget will also be pleased with the mini PC's dual 2.5G networking. In order to take advantage of this Black Friday deal, interested customers are advised to be mindful of the time-sensitive nature of the same.
