AMD Athlon 300U powered AM02 Mini PC goes for $240 and up

It’s not that easy to find a relatively low-cost AMD mini PC, and there
are more choices on Intel’s side.  Most models around $250-$300 are
barebone without memory or storage, but AM02 mini PC may be an interesting
option as the AMD Athlon 300U powered computer sells for about $240 plus
shipping with 8GB RAM and a 128GB SSD, which looks to be an even better
option than the Maxtang MTN-FP50 mini PC we reported on last June.

All AM02 models ship with Windows 10 by default, but you may be able to ask
the seller to install Linux instead (TBC), and support up to 16GB RAM and
1TB SSD. Note that the seller apparently made a mistake with the 16GB/256GB
model, as it is sold for just $232.89, instead of $332.89. It might still be
worth a try 🙂

AMD Athlon 300U mini PC

AM02 AMD Athlon 300U mini PC ships with a charger for US, EU,  UK, or AU as
requested at the time of order, an HDMI cable, a wall-mount bracket, and a
user manual in English.

As mentioned in the introduction, the mini PC comes pre-installed with
Windows 10 (I have the feeling that’s an unlicensed version), and it
appears the company may install Linux on request, although it’s not 100%
explicit, as they just say “We will send pre-installed WIN10 if without
special requirements“.
