This mini PC with a 5.7-inch touchscreen is down to $480

Mini PCs are versatile, compact computers that can be bought on a budget. They can replace traditional desktops and be a valuable part of a home lab or smart home. The only downside is that you have to buy everything, such as a monitor, keyboard and mouse.

But that’s not the case with this AE86 model, which has a 5.7-inch screen, touchpad, mouse and keyboard. The $600 price tag seems fair, but we like the $120 Amazon coupon that brings it down to $480.

The best of both worlds

I love a good mini computer. However, I don’t like clutter when I include all the essentials. This device, the AE86, offers the best of both worlds: a small form factor with a screen, keyboard and mouse.

To be clear, you won’t be able to say more than 1,000 words on this device, but having everything in one place is a little more convenient when you need it. The 5.7-inch screen also supports touch input, making interaction easier.

As for other specs, you’re looking at an Intel N95 processor, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, and 512GB of SSD storage. It also has a front-facing camera and two USB-C ports, HDMI, DisplayPort, two USB-A ports, and an Ethernet port.

If you want, you can use it as a home computer and connect up to three monitors. It also has Bluetooth 5.2 and Wi-Fi 6 along with dual speakers and a microphone. It comes with Windows 11 and Office 2024 pre-installed. You can install Linux if you want.

While there’s no word on how long the 2150mAh battery will last, we can’t imagine it lasting more than 5 hours. It depends on how you use it, but it’s nice to be able to unplug it and still get some functionality.
