A brand we’d not heard of before has come up with a product the like of which we’ve never seen.
Chinese firm Maxtang is selling a mini PC that runs on an embedded AMD Ryzen V1605B chip, with four (yes, four) DisplayPort connectors. We don’t know of any other PC that offers this many connectors – let alone in a form factor this small.
Maxtang AMD Ryzen mini PC – $ 410.92 from Aliexpress
(roughly £ 330 / AU $ 630)
This mini PC from Maxtang boasts an AMD Ryzen chip and a whopping four DisplayPort connectors – and, incredibly, it doesn’t require a separate display card. The thin client is also extremely small and lightweight, coming in at a miniscule 1kg.

Maxtang’s thin client costs as little as $ 410.92 from Aliexpress (roughly £ 330 / AU $ 630), after a $ 3 coupon. This price is for the bare bones model, which ships without an operating system or Wi-Fi module. Other RAM / storage bundles are available.
The Ryzen V1605B has four cores, eight threads, 4MB cache and a Vega 8 GPU. That makes it similar to a Ryzen 5 2500U and, according to the popular Passmark benchmark, faster than the Intel Core i5-10210U.
Other than the four display connectors (all capable of outputting to 4K), the thin client has two audio connectors, two Gigabit Ethernet ports, eight USB ports (but no Type-C) and supports two DDR4 SODIMM modules. You can add one M2 SSD and one SATA drive (SSD or HDD) as well.
Bear in mind …
If this product comes from mainland China, it will take at least a month to reach either the US or the UK (and potentially more). You may be levied a tax either directly or through the courier.
Have you managed to get hold of a cheaper product with equivalent specifications, in stock and brand new? Let us know and we’ll tip our hat to you.
It weighs a mere 1kg and measures only 18×18.2×3.7cm – that’s just over 1,200cc!
Bear in mind, the exact price in non-US territories will depend on the day’s exchange rate. Aliexpress ships to most countries worldwide via expedited shipping, but you may be levied an additional tax.
