Amazon's Mini PC is back at a shocking price, only $140

For years, the superstar of the "good, cheap" desktop has been Apple's Mac Mini, and for good reason. The Mac Mini's reputation as a high-end, powerful desktop that takes up very little space is well-deserved, and since its launch, the MAC Mini has had virtually no competition.

That's changed, however—a wave of high-performance mini PCs has landed on Amazon, and one of the best of them is the Kamrui Intel N97, which is currently on sale for the incredibly low price of just $140.

The Kamrui Intel N97, which normally retails for $180, is packed with cutting-edge features that redefined the concept of mini PCs, forcing buyers to rethink the processing power and performance they can get from a computer that fits in the palm of their hand and costs $60 less than the...Apple keyboard that comes with the Mac Mini.

Most mini PCs that have flooded the market recently have the ability to connect to more than one monitor, and the Kamrui Intel N97 is no exception. Its highlight lies in the connections: the Kamrui Intel N97 is equipped with a DisplayPort 1.4 port ready to connect along with an HDMI 2.0 port, each of which can output images to a 4K monitor.

DisplayPort is a rare exception in the mini PC world , and the 1.2 GHz Intel UHD Graphics Max Dynamic Frequency chip allows both 4K displays to run fast and smoothly whether you're watching movies, playing games, or simply surfing the web.

An optional VESA mount comes with the Kamrui Intel N97, allowing you to mount the mini PC itself on the back of a monitor or even a large HDTV if you prefer. All cables and connections can be hidden behind the monitor, as the Kamrui Intel N97 is only 4 inches square and a little over 1.5 inches thick.

The Kamrui Intel N97's internet connection speed and performance are unaffected. It comes with built-in Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 4.2, along with a powerful 3.6GHz N97 processor to keep things running smoothly.

In fact, the N97 processor is a huge step up, even outperforming its predecessor, the Intel N95 by 40 percent. The integrated graphics processor (IGP) is also 40 percent faster than its predecessor, meaning you get a significant amount of power and performance for just $140.

As a stripped-down version of a desktop, the Kamrui Intel N97 doesn't lack any of the features of a traditional PC. With a keyboard and mouse, and maybe two 4K monitors if you really want to go big, the Kamrui Intel N97 outperforms larger, more expensive desktops.
