Early Prime Day deals are already here, even though the event doesn’t officially kick off until later this month. Amazon has just started to discount a bunch of items that were previously only seeing Prime-exclusive offers, which means all shoppers can take advantage of them now. Case in point – the GMKtech G3 Pro mini PC.

This $460 PC is now available for $290, after an impressive 37% drop. The offer saves you $170, but the retailer has marked it as a limited-time deal. We don’t expect it to last more than a couple of days, so it’s better to place your orders as soon as you can.

A mini PC that packs significant power

There’s quite a lot to appreciate here. The PC runs on an i3-10110U processor, which is ideal for most regular tasks that don’t require too much muscle. It offers significantly better performance than popular options like the Ryzen 3 4300U and the Intel Alder Lake N150 series chips found in quite a few entry-level mini desktops and also portable, 2-in-1 tablets. You shouldn’t really run into any issues if you’re planning to use the PC for things like basic browsing, streaming, responding to emails, and even light multitasking.

The 16GB DDR4 RAM ensures a speedy experience. It keeps things running nice and smooth as you push through the days, and can even handle more than one task at the same time. For instance, you can hop through a bunch of different browser tabs or use a couple of programs without noticeable lag. Storage-wise, you’re covered with a roomy 512GB SSD. It comes with plenty of space already, but you can always expand using the M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe slot if it feels insufficient for all the stuff you’ve gathered over the years.

Wi-Fi 6 support gets you a stable, fast internet connection. For even faster speeds, you can use the Intel i226 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, which is more than twice as fast as standard 1.0GbE Gigabit Ethernet. Other connectivity options include Bluetooth 5.2, two HDMI ports, and more. The HDMI ports here also let you connect to two 4K@60Hz displays at the same time, which is great if you want a larger, more productive setup. Plus, since the mini PC is really lightweight and compact, you can carry your entire system with you on the go!

Another feature that deserves a mention is the smart cooling fan. With this on board, the PC operates below 38dB, so it won’t deal with distracting, frustrating sounds as it works.

You can now grab this mini PC for $290 at Amazon, after the retailer took 37% off its usual $460 price. It’s an excellent discount that lets you upgrade your office/home setup without breaking the bank. Grab it now, before the price shoots back up!
