A new contender has entered the tech arena—the GenMachine Zhi mini PC, redefining compactness and performance. Barely larger than a human hand, this tiny powerhouse runs on an AMD Ryzen 3 5425U processor. Weighing about the same as a deck of cards, the GenMachine Zhi delivers remarkable capabilities. Its quad-core processor, with speeds up to 4.1 GHz, and AMD Vega 5 graphics (1.5 MHz) ensure smooth handling of office tasks, media playback, and even light gaming. Unlike bulky desktops, this device fits seamlessly into a pocket or on the edge of a desk.
Flexibility is key: users can choose between configurations with 8GB, 16GB, or 32GB of RAM and up to 2TB SSD storage. But the real game-changer? Four 2.5G Ethernet ports, transforming this mini PC into a powerful home NAS hub—perfect for data storage or setting up a media server without excess wiring.
Despite its compact size, the GenMachine Zhi doesn't skimp on connectivity:
Starting at just $225, this device is an affordable alternative to both traditional PCs and specialized solutions. Comparable configurations from major brands cost 1.5 to 2 times more. Ideal for students and freelancers, it offers portability with enough power for graphic design software, while also serving as an excellent 4K media center or a smart hub for IoT devices.
