The best mini PC deals for running OpenClaw: Save on Apple Mac mini, Kamuri Pinova P2, and Beelink Mini
OpenClaw is the latest AI attempting to make our lives (maybe?) easier. The open-source AI assistant runs locally on your device that operates on your behalf, scanning your email inbox, messages, calendar, Slack notifications, and more. On top of this, OpenClaw can alert you of especially important items that come across your virtual desk. Use OpenClaw with ChatGPT and you could be scheduling flights, replying to messages, and plenty more.
So long as you're cool with using AI and the inherent security risks that come with OpenClaw, you might want a mini PC dedicated to running the lobster AI assistant. For a time, the OpenClaw hype was so real that Silicone Valley buyers were depleting the supply of the Mac Mini. That initial bump has settled down (for now) and we have the Mac Mini in stock and on sale today, plus a few other mini PCs that could be ideal for OpenClaw.
Best Apple deal
Why we like it
If you're in the Apple ecosphere, the Mac mini with M4 chip could be awesome for running OpenClaw. The version with 16GB of memory and 256GB SSD usually sells for $599, but it's on sale today at Amazon for $569.
The Mac Mini has two USB-C ports, a headphone jack, ethernet connection, HDMI, and three Thunderbolt 4 ports. Like the name suggests, Apple went small with this mini PC and it weighs under two pounds and measures five inches in width and length, and just two inches in height. It'll be easy to travel with the Mac mini or find a spot for it on your desktop.
Best Kamuri deal
Why we like it
Coming in at a smidge smaller than the Mac Mini, the Kamuri Pinova 2 Mini PC is another great option for OpenClaw. Today's sale price of $299.99 applies to the model with 16GB DDR4 RAM and 512GB SSD, which is expandable to up to 4TB.
Since the Kamuri Pinova 2 Mini PC will be powered on 24/7 to run OpenClaw, it'll be nice to have the under 38 decibel fan noise. Plus, Kamuri includes a VESA mount and screws so you can easily keep your desktop clear and affix the mini PC to the back of a monitor.
Best Beehive deal
Why we like it
With support for WiFI 6, the Beelink Mini PC is more than capable of operating OpenClaw. Plus, Beelink gets major bragging rights for being incredibly lightweight. The Beelink weighs just 400 grams which works out to 0.88 pounds, or about half the weight of the Apple Mac Mini.
Today's sale price of $439 earns you 24GB RAM and 500GB SSD, running AMD Ryzen 7. Beelink incorporated two fans on this model — one for the system itself and an additional SSD fan.
