'Exceptional performance for an extremely balanced price': GMKtec M6 Ultra is our number one mini PC for work and study

I'm forever looking out for great mini PC deals and was pleased to see that Amazon has cut the price of the GMKtec M6 Ultra mini PC to $600 (was $700) ahead of the back-to-school season.

Ideal for students, professionals, creators, multitaskers, and even gamers, the M6 Ultra is powered by an AMD Ryzen 5 7640HS processor with six cores and 12 threads, reaching speeds of up to 5.0GHz and featuring integrated Radeon 760M graphics.

In his glowing review, our mini PC expert Alistair said the M6 Ultra offered "exceptional performance for an extremely balanced price." He went on to sum up the device, saying: "If you're looking for an exceptionally well-priced mini PC that offers plenty of upgradeability and is able to handle pretty much anything you throw at it, then the GMKtec M6 Ultra is a perfect option."

The M6 Ultra comes with 16GB DDR5 RAM and a fast 1TB PCIe SSD. There's also room to grow, with support for up to 128GB of memory and dual M.2 SSD slots offering up to 8TB of storage.

Dual 2.5Gb Ethernet ports, WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, USB4, HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort, and multiple USB ports make it easy to build a flexible workstation or connect loads of peripherals.

It can drive up to three displays, and USB4 output means it is capable of up to 8K at 60Hz — making it a great fit for home offices, students, creative workflows, and anyone who likes spreading work across multiple screens.

Despite its tiny size, the M6 Ultra includes dual-fan cooling to help maintain consistent performance during longer, more intensive workloads.
