PC component prices have risen significantly over the last 4 months leading tech giants like Dell to largely abandon the sub-$500 desktop PC market (but you can get laptops for far less).
However, a new breed of smaller vendors have gladly filled the gap. One of them, Kamrui, has slashed the price of its most popular mini PC by almost 50%, a “totally wild” move according to our on-team mini PC expert.
The Hyper H2 is on sale at Amazon during the Big Spring Sale event, for just under $400. That’s a $369 saving or 48% off, its cheapest price ever. There aren’t any significant corners cut from what I can see.
The CPU, an Intel Core i5-14450HX, is still a capable processor that can rival the Apple M4 (a 10-core system-on-chip found in the Apple Mac mini) on some benchmarks. The M4 will still outperform it by about 20% while consuming about half the power.
Despite the current RAM shortage, Kamrui managed to fit 16GB of DDR4 memory and a 512GB PCI Gen4 SSD with another free slot for an additional SSD. It uses an older integrated GPU so don’t have high hopes for its gaming capabilities.

The Hyper H2 from Kamrui runs Windows 11 Pro on an Intel Core 14450HX processor, sports 16GB RAM and 512GB PCIe4.0 SSD, with support for triple 4K displays.
Don’t forget the aftersales warranty
I’ve counted 11 ports, four at the front and 7 at the back. It can drive three 4K monitors, fewer than some competitors, and there’s only one - rather than two - Gigabit Ethernet ports.
But we’re in the midst of a challenging economic climate and, dare I say, this is a great deal right now, even with the presence of Wi-Fi 6 (not 6E). Like for the majority of Chinese and Taiwanese mini PC, this one comes with Windows 11 Pro.
Amazon offers a 3-year protection plan for just $48.99 on top of the free 30-day refund policy it operates. I’d very strongly encourage you to take it as the H2 warranty covers just the first 12-month of ownership: from power surges to malfunctions, almost everything is included (except accidental damage).
What’s more, Assurion experts will help you for free 24/7 with setup, connectivity issues and troubleshooting general problems with your device. For $0.04 per day, I genuinely think that this is money well spent.
The Hyper H2 is powerful enough for most office tasks, some creative projects as well as a spot of gaming. Its tiny form factor coupled with its metal finish and dual-fan cooling system with full copper heat pipes will dissipate excess heat and prevent the mini PC from throttling even under load.
Its strong multi monitor capability will appeal to professionals, traders and creatives looking for enhanced productivity. Nothing beats an immersive environment if you can afford large displays on a big desk, just remember not to sprain your neck.
