Mini PCs are getting crazy popular thanks to low prices and plenty of customization options. And they don’t get much cheaper than this, at least for a machine with enough power to run Windows 11. Amazon is selling a GMKtec G3 model with a quad-core Intel processor and 16GB of RAM for just $157.99 after the coupon.

There is a caveat here. That price is only for Amazon Prime subscribers, which sucks, but the discount versus the standard model ($209.99) is so steep that you might consider getting a month of Prime for this deal alone. $157.99 plus $15 for a month of Prime is still $172.99, pretty dang great for these specs.

With a four-core N150 processor and 16GB of RAM, you should be able to handle most web browsing and video tasks without any issues. I wouldn’t try to tax the integrated graphics with the newest 3D games (2D should be fine), but this little guy can handle dual 4K external monitors thanks to double HDMI ports. You can even mount it to the back of one, since it comes with a VESA adapter. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are built in, or you can use Ethernet.

There’s no USB-C port, and your upgrade options will be limited to the 512GB SSD — it’s already maxed out on memory. But if you need a new, reliable Windows PC for the absolute lowest price possible, I’d say this is it right here.
