See my comparison video last year, when the Mini PC was cheaper: youtube.com/watch?v=TORg5FhKf-4

And Happy New Year! Hope the rest of 2026 has more happy news, lol.

Prices were taken from Micro Center (as I could go to the store today and buy the hardware at that price immediately), or from Amazon product listings that are able to ship in 2 days or less.

If you want to support the channel, Amazon will give me 2.5% back on your purchase of the GMKTec mini PC (note: GMKtec offered me a 10% commission, but I don't participate in any manufacturer's commission-based marketing!): amzn.to/4bhsi4e

But I'd recommend buying some used hardware or using what you have already for now ;)
