Black Friday 2025 is fast approaching, but you don’t have to wait for the sales to find serious performance at a discount.

The GenMachine Mini PC is already on sale at Newegg for $289.99, down from $379.99, and at that price it delivers desktop-class capability in a palm-sized form factor that performs far above expectations.
