MeLE has began promoting the Quieter4C mini PC on Aliexpress for $252 and up. That worth is for the mannequin with 8GB RAM and 128GB eMMC flash (no SSD), but it surely’s not the precise worth you must pay… There’s at present a $60 coupon (MELE60), and after I added the mini PC to the cart, I additionally acquired a $10.04 vendor low cost (no matter that’s) with the ultimate worth being $181.94 together with transport to Thailand.
For what it’s price, previously, MeLE offered its pc at the next worth throughout the week and a reduced worth throughout the weekends. I’m undecided they’re nonetheless doing this, however if you’re requested over $200 excluding taxes for the cheaper mannequin, it’s possible you’ll need to be affected person and are available again later… to save lots of $60 to $70…
