This quad 4K Ryzen mini PC with lots of RAM is $220 off today

If you’re in need of a powerful daily driver PC for your home office but don’t need all the extraneous bells and whistles that come with full-blown gaming PCs and laptop workstations, then you should look to a humble but mighty mini PC. Something like this Geekom AX8 Max mini PC that’s now on sale for $528.99 (was $749) on Amazon. That’s a lovely 29 percent discount on a miniature powerhouse!

Running on a powerful AMD Ryzen 7 8745HS processor and a chunky 32GB of fast DDR5 RAM as well as a spacious 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD, this mini PC will serve you well in all you do. It can smoothly handle Windows 11 Pro (which comes pre-installed) and it can even do some modest gaming thanks to the built-in AMD Radeon 780M integrated graphics. Want to push it even further? You can add an AMD eGPU via USB4!

The Geekom AX8 Max is a multitasker’s dream because it can support up to four high-res monitors—two USB4 ports can each handle up to 8K@30Hz and two HDMI ports can each handle up to 4K@60Hz. Other ports include five high-speed USB-A, a slower USB-A for peripherals, two fast 2.5Gbps Ethernet, and a 3.5mm audio jack. You also get built-in Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 wireless connectivity.

Thanks to its impressively compact design, you can tuck this thing beneath your monitor, push it to the corner of your desk, or even mount it to the back of any VESA-compatible monitor thanks to the included VESA plate. It may be small, but it’s powerful and versatile.
