Black Friday mini PC deals — 13 tiny desktops I'd buy right now

The Kamrui AM06 Pro is a small but powerful little mini PC with the exact same dimensions as the new Mac mini M4. It’s powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 5800U CPU with an integrated Radeon Vega 8 GPU and comes with 32GB of DDR4 RAM and a 512GB SSD for storage. Up front, you’ll find two USB-A ports, a USB-C port and a headphone jack while around back, there are two USB-A ports, an HDMI port, a DisplayPort, dual gigabit Ethernet ports and another USB-C port. However, the USB-C port on the back is actually for power which means you don’t have to worry about a bulky barrel-port plug and you could even use a GaN charger instead of the included one to power this mini PC.

The Beelink EQi12 is an impressive little mini PC with a built-in 85W power supply which means you don’t have to deal with a bulky power adapter. It’s powered by an Intel Core i7 12650H CPU, 24GB of DDR4 RAM and has a 500GB NVMe SSD. You also get a wide selection of ports with a USB-A port, a USB-C port and a headphone jack up front along with three USB-A ports, two HDMI ports, two gigabit LAN ports around back. The Beelink EQi12 als comes equipped with Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2. With an extra $50 coupon, you’re saving $150 off its normal price.

The Minisforum NAB6 Lite is an excellent mini PC for work and especially for multi-monitor setups as it supports up to four displays simultaneously. It’s powered by an Intel Core i5 12600H CPU and comes equipped with 32GB of DDR4 RAM and a 512GB SSD. The NAB6 Lite has two USB-A ports, a USB-CC port and a headphone jack on the front as well as two USB-A ports, two HDMI ports, two USB-C ports and dual 2.5 Gbps Ethernet ports on the back. A new thermal system helps keep the device cool and you can add extra storage via a 2.5-inch SSD.

The Apple Mac Mini M2 is the cheapest Mac you can get and right now, you can save $100 off the base model that comes with an M2 chip, 8GB of unified memory and a 256GB SSD. There aren't any ports on the front but around back, you get two Thunderbolt 4 ports, two USB-A ports, a headphone jack and an Ethernet port. Keep in mind though, Apple just released the new Mac Mini M4. However, this Mac sports an iconic design and it’s one of the last Macs Steve Jobs had a hand in.

The Beelink Ser7 Max is one of the nicest looking mini PCs thanks to its teal green color and the way its power connector magnetically attaches to its underside. Powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS CPU with a Radeon 780M GPU, it supports up to four displays simultaneously and ships with 32GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB SSD. You also have the option to switch between two power modes depending on the task at hand. As for its ports, there’s a USB-C port, a USB-A port and a headphone jack up front as well as two USB4 ports, two USB-A ports, an HDMI 2.1 port, a DisplayPort, a 2.5G Ethernet port and another headphone jack at the rear.

The Apple Mac mini M4 is the company’s latest and greatest mini PC and even though it just came out, you can save a bit off its full price. While this deal isn’t nearly as big of a discount as the one on the Mac mini M2, you’re getting newer hardware with a complete redesign, 16GB of RAM on the base model, the power of Apple’s M4 chip, more Thunderbolt and USB-C ports and for the first time ever on the Mac mini, front ports you can actually reach. In my Apple Mac mini M4 review, I hailed this mini PC as nearly perfect except for the fact that its power button is on the bottom of the device. If you can adjust to putting your computer to sleep instead of turning it off (I have after less than a week), the Mac mini M4 is the perfect mini PC for Apple users.

The Beelink SER8 is the closest Windows-powered mini PC to Apple’s Mac Mini thanks to its unibody metal case. It’s powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS processor just like the Geekom AX8 Pro and comes with 32GB of DDR5 RAM, a 1TB SSD and Windows 11 Pro pre-installed. On the front, you get a USB-A port, a USB-C port and a headphone jack and around back, there are three USB-A ports, a USB-C port, an HDMI port, a DisplayPort and an Etherent port. There’s also an extra M.2 SSD slot to expand its storage but you won’t be able to mount this mini PC behind a monitor since it lacks VESA holes.

The AceMagic F2A was one of the first mini PCs to use Intel’s new Core Ultra processors for an AI boost. The gold trim around the top and the power button gives this mini PC a more elegant look and it has two built-in fans to keep everything running cool. In terms of ports, there are two USB-A ports, a USB-C port and a headphone jack on the front with two USB-A ports, two HDMI ports and an Ethernet port on the back. In my AceMagic F2A review, I praised the fact that this mini PC ships with Wi-Fi 7 on board.

The Khadas Mind one of the smallest mini PCs you can get but you can add more ports or even an external desktop GPU with one of the company’s docks. It’s powered by an Intel Core i5 1340P processor and the base model comes with 16GB of DDR5 RAM and a 512GB SSD. However, there’s a spare M.2 slot on the bottom so you can add more storage. On the front, there’s just a power button but around back, you get two USB-C ports, two USB-A ports and an HDMI port. I recently published my Khadas Mind review, and one of my favorite things besides its size is the fact that it uses USB-C for power instead of a barrel jack.

The GMKtec NucBox K8 is an AMD-powered mini PC with plenty of ports and loads of ventilation thanks to its dual fans. Its AMD Ryzen 7 CPU can power three displays (one over HDMI, one over DisplayPort and one over USB-C) and also features an integrated Radeon 780M GPU. The NucBox K8 also has a nice clean design thanks to its silver case with just a splash of bright green on the power button and on the logo on top. When it comes to ports, you get two USB-A ports, a USB-C port and a headphone jack on the front with two USB-A ports, an HDMI port, a DisplayPort and two 2.5 gigabit Ethernet jacks on the back. This mini PC also comes with 32GB of DDR5 and 2TB of storage.

The Geekom A7 is a sleek and powerful mini PC with an aluminum chassis that harkens back to the design of the Mac mini M2. It’s powered by an AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS CPU with integrated Radeon 780M graphics and comes equipped with 32GB of DDR5 RAM and a 2TB SSD. As for ports, you get a nice selection of them with two USB-A ports and a headphone jack on the front and two USB4 ports, two USB-A ports, two HDMI ports and a 2.5G Ethernet port on the back as well as an SD card reader on the side. There’s also the A8 which features the exact same design but with a faster CPU if you want even more power.

Now if you want even more power though, the AtomMan G7 PT is another mini PC worth considering, though it is on the larger side compared to other mini PCs. It’s powered by a Ryzen 9 7945HX CPU with a Radeon RX 7600M XT GPU and it comes equipped with 32GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB SSD. When it comes to ports, there's a USB-C port, a USB-A port and a headphone jack up front along with three USB-A ports, a USB-C port, a HDMI port, a DisplayPort, a 2.5G Ethernet port and a headphone and microphone port at the back. In my AtomMan G7 PT review, I was really impressed by how cool and quiet it was even when playing games and the fact that it ships with Wi-Fi 7 support.
