SAVE 47%: As of Feb. 2, the KAMRUI Pinova P2 Mini PC (Intel Core i5-12600H, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) is $399.92 on Amazon, down from $759.92. That's a 47% discount or $360 savings.


Most "budget" mini PCs under $400 usually stick you with a low-power Celeron or an older chip that struggles with anything more than web browsing. But the KAMRUI offers a full-voltage mobile processor usually reserved for laptops.

As of Feb. 2, the KAMRUI Pinova P2 Mini PC (Intel Core i5-12600H, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) is $399.92 on Amazon, down from $759.92. That's a 47% discount or $360 savings.

This is a 12-core, 16-thread chip with speeds up to 4.5GHz, which is way more powerful than the N-series chips you normally find in this form factor. It comes with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD, plus it supports triple 4K displays via HDMI, DisplayPort, and USB-C. It’s essentially a full desktop workstation that you can hide behind a monitor.
