However, before you make your purchase, make sure to read our reviews of these top-rated mini PCs.
Intel Celeron J4125 Quad Core Mini PC
The Intel Celeron J4125 is a new quad-core SoC designed for budget mini PCs. It runs at 2-2.7 GHz and is based on the Gemini Lake platform. This new generation features slightly higher clock speeds compared to its predecessors, which were based on the 14 nm process and included FinFETs. It comes with partial Wi-Fi 5 support, a DirectX 12 GPU, and a DDR4/LPDDR4 memory controller.
NUC 11 Extreme
The new Intel NUC 11 Extreme will be a step up from the previous generation. It features the latest Intel Core i9 processor, which has eight cores and supports up to 64GB of DDR4 RAM. The new NUC will also feature desktop discrete graphics and support for up to six 4K displays. This is a significant improvement from the previous generation, but many will wonder if the extra power will justify the price tag.
Enthusiast Kit
The new Intel NUC 11 Enthusiast Kit is a low-cost, high-performance mini PC with premium features. It offers an impressive combination of power, performance, and unique design. It is perfect for advanced users and system builders alike. It also features a nifty mounting plate so it can be hidden from view. This powerful computer is also very portable, with its power adaptor conveniently stored in a carrying case.
Lenovo ThinkStation P620
The Lenovo ThinkStation P620 is a new PC workstation based on the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO CPU. The new model supports up to 64-cores of processing power and up to four RTX 4000 graphics cards. It supports up to 512GB of DDR4 memory and 20TB of storage, and is completely air-cooled. It will be available for purchase in September 2020.
Zotac
If you’re looking for a new computer, it may be time to consider the latest models from Zotac. These barebones systems are designed to allow users to build their own mini PCs and are not made by Intel. They feature a motherboard, CPU, GPU, power delivery, storage, and memory, but you’ll still need to purchase additional peripherals. The ZBOX E-Series is a good example of a barebones system. Its glossy black design makes it easy to blend in on a desk or shelf.
Topton
Topton has announced the Topton M6, a new mini PC that is about the size of a thick smartphone without a display. It features an Intel Celeron N5105 quad-core processor and up to 16GB of RAM.
