GMKtec M6 Ultra Mini PC Falls to $500 at Amazon as TechRadar Names It Top Budget Pick

The machine pairs the Ryzen 5 7640HS with Radeon 760M integrated graphics. Memory and storage are both upgradable, and GMKtec leaves a second M.2 slot free for expansion. It drives up to three 4K displays and offers three selectable power modes spanning 35W to 50W. Ports include dual 2.5GbE LAN and USB4 with 100W power delivery, alongside Wi-Fi 6E.

TechRadar's review awarded the M6 Ultra four out of five stars and called it "a perfect option" for buyers seeking a well-priced mini PC that can be upgraded over time. The reviewer described it as an "affordable mini PC that promises performance for office users, creators, students, and even the mid-level gaming community." On graphics performance, the review said that "having the AMD Radeon integrated GPU really does give it the edge, especially with Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, video applications, and gaming." The USB4 port allows an external GPU to be attached when more graphics power is needed.

TechRadar also noted limits. There is no discrete graphics chip, so the M6 Ultra is not aimed at serious gaming or GPU-accelerated video work unless an eGPU is connected. The review described the design as clean but uninspired, and said fan noise becomes noticeable under sustained load.

The article gives conflicting figures on the discount. Its headline and deal section state that the 16GB/1TB configuration has dropped by $200, from $700 to $500, and note that the 16GB/512GB model sells for $460 at Amazon. Later in the same piece, TechRadar describes the reduction as "$10 off," calls the price closer to the machine's normal level than a genuine sale, and advises buying at $459.99 because it is a strong mini PC rather than because of a rare bargain. The publication adds that $500 is the price this configuration typically reaches, including around shopping events such as Black Friday, and expects that to continue as memory prices push hardware costs higher.
