See my comparison video last year, when the Mini PC was cheaper: https://www.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!): https://amzn.to/4bhsi4e But I'd recommend buying some used hardware or using what you have already for now ;) Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/geerlingguy Sponsor me on GitHub: https://github.com/sponsors/geerlingguy Merch: https://www.redshirtjeff.com Main Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@JeffGeerling 2nd Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GeerlingEngineering
