Every year, Prime Day is the perfect opportunity for everyday users to score premium electronics at record low prices. If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to upgrade your desktop computer, now is the time to act: Amazon features some of the year’s best bargains  and it is especially the case with mini PCs that compete with Apple’s top-of-the-line products such as the Mac Mini.

The GMKtec mini PC (512GB storage, 12GB DDR5 RAM, Intel N150 chip), now available for as low as $158, down from $229, is a good example. At this price, you’re getting a fully capable desktop computer for less than a third of what you’d pay for a Mac Mini.

The GMKtec mini PC is powered by the latest 2025 Intel Twin Lake N150 processor which is a quad-core chip with four threads and a 6MB cache. With a burst rate of up to 3.6GHz, this CPU provides a good increase in performance compared to its predecessor, boasting a 6-10% upgrade from the Alder Lake N100 and a 15% upgrade over the N95. The N150 chip itself is designed to be power-friendly so you can just leave your PC running for hours at a time without worrying about taking up too much power.

You are provided with 12GB of DDR5 RAM which supports faster speeds and better multitasking than any DDR4 configurations before. With an onboard 512GB M.2 SSD, this mini PC boasts speedy bootup times, lets you launch multiple applications at the same time and gives you generous space for files.

This mini PC also supports an incredibly wide range of devices thanks to the three USB 3.2 ports with a maximum rate of 5Gbps, two HDMI 2.0 ports, a DisplayPort 1.4, and a 3.5mm audio jack. Two Gigabit Ethernet ports support fast and error-free wired internet connectivity alongside WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 for the latest wireless connection.

For those using multiple monitors, the GMKtec mini PC is a game changer: With onboard Intel UHD Graphics (up to 1000MHz), it has 4K video playback and AV1 decoding support, meaning you can enjoy crisp images for streaming and gaming.

If you’re looking for a compact desktop computer , this mini PC at $158 is really tough to beat.
