00:00Script cheap mini PCs that actually run Windows 11 Pro, 2 colon 15
00:05Midnight to 013, look
00:08Okay, so I went hunting for mini PCs under 200 bucks that actually ship with a legitimate
00:13Windows 11 Pro license, not a stripped-down home edition, not a Windows 11 compatible label on a
00:18$60 box. And I found 5. Some of them are genuinely surprising. Let's get into it.
00:28013-036, product won $184.87. This first one's my pick for the best overall balance.
00:36It's a new PC mini with an Intel Core i9-10980HK that's an 8-core, 16-thread chip plus 16GB
00:44of RAM
00:44and a fast M.2 SSD, and it's $184.87. That processor usually shows up in machines twice the price,
00:53and you get Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 on board too. 4.9 stars, nearly 5,000 units
01:00sold,
01:00so people clearly aren't returning it. If you want raw power for the money, this is the one.
01:07036-059, product to $161.22. Okay, this one confused me at first, because it looks more
01:16expensive on paper than the last one but it's cheaper, $161.22. Say my 9-10980HK processor,
01:25but you get 32GB of RAM instead of 16, and a 1TB plus 2TB SSD setup. If you edit video,
01:32run virtual machines, or just want headroom for the next 4 years without touching it,
01:36this is the smarter buy. $2,000 of computer value, kind of thing. 4.7 stars, over 4,700 sold.
01:47059-122, product 3, $235.66. Now this is the most recent listing of the group,
01:55it's the 2026 version of the same i9-10980HK, 32GB RAM, 1TB and 2TB SSDs, Wi-Fi 6,
02:04Bluetooth 5.2, 4K output. It's $235.66, so it's the priciest of the 5, and honestly it's the one
02:13I'd pick if storage is your thing, because it's the newest refresh and the drive configuration is
02:17generous. It has the highest sales to price confidence here, 4.8 stars. You pay a bit more
02:24for the newer unit and the warranty backing it. $122-145, product for $80.99.
02:32This is the budget one, and it's the most fun. The Teclast N10 Intel N4000, 6GB of DDR4,
02:41128GB of storage, dual 4K output, Wi-Fi 5, and it fits in your pocket. $80.99.
02:49Now I'm not going to pretend that N4000 is a powerhouse, it's an entry-level chip and the
02:546GB of RAM is the real limitation, so this is your streaming box, your office machine,
02:59your travel buddy. But 4,000 people bought it, and dual display at that price is wild.
03:05Skipped, B-roll shot list per product, add when you film.
