The dock doesn't need to be as expensive as the $100 MINISFORUM one others suggested. I got something like this off of AliExpress [amazon.com] for around $40-$50. Look for a BK7 (base and bracket), F9G (OCuLink to PCIe x16 board), and an OCuLink cable.

If anyone wants to try this with a (mini) PC without an OCuLink port, but with a spare M.2 slot, you can try looking for an adapter like a "F4C". This converts an M.2 slot, which is really a PCIe x4 slot, into an OCuLink port.

(I believe the BK7, F9G, and F4C are all made by the manufacturer "ADT". But you'll find a lot if listings on places like Amazon and AliExpress just list the model name. So just search for those.)

Nice theory, but are you relying on actual empirical data or just indulging in an economist's fever dream? The historical record doesn't support your claim. Your assumption—that companies consistently absorb the full (or even majority) cost of tariffs—is almost never reflected in the data. The only time that happens is under rare, ideal conditions: when a company must make a sale and has enough profit margin to absorb some of the tariff. Even then, they typically eat only a fraction.
In reality, study after study shows that consumers in the receiving country bear most of the cost. According to Amiti et al. (2020) and Fajgelbaum et al. (2020), U.S. consumers absorbed nearly 100% of the cost of the tariffs imposed during the U.S.-China trade war under Trump's first administration. Feng, Han, and Li (2023) found U.S. importers bore 93% of U.S.-imposed tariffs. The numbers are remarkably consistent across time and geography: under normal conditions, consumers absorb between 60% and 90% of the cost. That's the economic consensus, not a debate.

The last of the cheap PCs for a few years. Slick Deals are going to be slim pickings with all these tariffs.

There are two coupons for me: $23 and a 10% off brand promotion. However, only the 10% coupon applies for me. Is this the same for everyone?

Thinking about building out a home lab with Proxmox, Home Assistant, pi hole, Minecraft server for the kids. After increasing the ram, would this be a good solution?
Pick something with more cores. More cores means you can run more vms and play around more with more headroom. That being said, this will work well for playing with proxmox and experimenting. I have 3x ryzen mini pcs that I cluster for a homelab.

I didn't check if you can upgrade the ram on this. I definitely recommend doing 32gb of ram if you plan to proxmox this.

680m isn't terrible on board graphics honestly. Little faster than a Steamdeck. Throw on SteamOS/Bazzite and you got yourself a stew going.

This would work great. I got a GMKtec K2 with a Ryzen 7 7735HS. It's pretty similar to this Ryzen 7 6850H. Obviously your needs dictate whether this is enough computing power or not. But an 8 core Ryzen is a lot.

The only thing you mentioned that could be too much for this system would the Minecraft server. I'm under the impression the Minecraft servers mainly benefit from high single core speeds. And lower power CPUs often struggle in this regard. I think this would only be an issue if you run a bunch of non-standard mods. Check out r/AdminCraft [reddit.com]for people who actually know what they are talking about instead of listening to me.

The Oculink port also gives you expansion to play around with AI/LLMs later. You can get an Oculink cable and external dock for less than $50 from AliExpress. Then you just need a generic ATX power supply. So for less than $100, you've got a way to externally connect any GPU at PCIe 4.0 x4 speeds.

Is this really a gaming NUC? I'd love to use one for a golf simulator I'm considering setting up, but I'm doubtful the graphics will be good.

No, AMD's iGPUs don't work as well as Intel's for video transcoding under Linux. A cheaper N100 or N150 mini PC will be much better. I have an N100 with 16GB of RAM as my home server and it has a lot of free overhead if I ever want to run more things.
