This sounds like a riddle, but how can you downsize and upgrade your work or gaming PC setup at the same time? There’s no obscure Confucian answer to this one, just a great limited-time Amazon deal on the KAMRUI A21 Mini PC. The AM21 is small enough to be mounted on the rear of a monitor, yet powerful enough to run up to four 4K monitors and hit speeds of up to 4.9GHz with its Ryzen 7 processor, and this 29% off deal at Amazon drops it to its lowest-ever price, just $500.
This deal drops the KAMRUI A21 Mini PC below the Mac Mini in price, and you’re arguably getting far more oomph for your buck. The KAMRUI has more ports, easier upgrades to help future-proof itself, and it’s virtually identical in size. And if you’re looking for a compact yet powerful desktop computer that lets you do some gaming while you’re taking a breather from work, the KAMRUI wins that battle hands-down just by virtue of being a PC and having access to a far wide array of games than the Mac.
No Cheap Chip Here
At the center of the AM21 is AMD’s Ryzen 7 8745HS, a Zen 4–based processor with 8 cores and 16 threads that can push the pedal down hard to hit speeds of up to 4.9GHz. This is not a budget chip pretending to be something more. It’s the kind of CPU you typically see in higher-end laptops or compact workstations, and it’s built for modern workloads: photo and video editing, heavy multitasking, coding, streaming, and juggling far too many browser tabs without everything grinding to a halt. Dropping that level of performance into a mini desktop you can hide behind a monitor is exactly the kind of move that makes these small systems so appealing right now.
The rest of the internal package of the AM21 is equally impressive. Start with the Radeon 780M integrated graphics, which are more than capable for creative work, media playback, and definitely some light gaming. The included 32GB of fast DDR5 RAM is already generous, and the 1TB NVMe SSD gives you plenty of breathing room for large files, projects, and software installs. If that’s not enough, the AM21 is refreshingly upgrade-friendly: RAM can be expanded up to 96GB, and storage can scale up to 4TB. That kind of future-proofing is hard to find in any consumer desktop, much less one this size and available at this price.
All the Hookups
Connectivity is where the AM21 seriously overdelivers. There’s a USB4 Type-C port for fast external drives and docking setups, five USB-A ports for accessories, dual HDMI 2.1 outputs with 4K support, two LAN ports (2.5G and 1G), Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth. You can run up to four external 4K monitors, which makes this thing shockingly capable as a compact workstation. Whether you’re building a clean home office setup or want a powerful machine that doesn’t dominate your desk, it’s easy to make the AM21 fit. It comes with a VESA mount so you can render it virtually invisible by mounting it on the back of one of the four monitors you can attach it to.
It’s rare to find the total package being delivered in a package this small, but the KAMRUI AM21 manages to check off pretty much every box for anyone looking for a fast and powerful desktop PC setup. It’s already one of the hottest PC deals of this young year, with Amazon’s limited-time 29%-off deal bringing it to an all-time low price of just $500.
