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.

FYI, SD might delete your post.

I mentioned something along those lines in a deal thread about a power supply and the next day, it was deleted. I know I posted there because someone repped me on a post that doesn't exist anymore

SD wants to pretend that the tariffs don't exist.
It's ok to mention the tariffs as they pertain to deals, we just don't want the threads derailed into the politics of tariffs.

In fairness, it looks like SD deleted a troll post from someone who was bothered by posts about tariff-related prices.

I've seen a number of poor quality reviews on Amazon. Does this come with a warranty? What's SD used experience with GMKtec computers? I'm planning to use this for office-type applications - Word, Excel, email, browsing. Don't need an extremely fast computer, but reliable. Never bought one outside HP or Dell. OP title sats Windows 11 Pro included but description on Amazon doesn't mention it. I like the price but am wary about the brand. Any other recommendation would be appreciated.

Dont pay high prices, let the companies pay the increase. Consumers only lose if they pay those prices.
You realize companies will never pay the increase, right? They're going to just pass it on to the consumer, as they have since basically forever.

Guess how often companies just absorb an increase in COGS as opposed to finding ways to pass it off to the consumer? I'll give you a hint: it's somewhere between extremely rarely and never.

You saved me the breath. It's sad/amusing to see how many people don't understand basic economics and how businesses actually run.

Costco is reportedly pressuring Chinese suppliers to cut prices, potentially absorbing the burden of rising U.S. tariffs, following a similar approach taken by Walmart.

The Chinese government is on top of it, keep up. If you think we can just forget about China - Americans aren't ready to pay those prices.

Mods wipe this thread about tariffs and China on a Chinese PC in 3..2..

Is the 7840hs with the 780m a decent upgrade also? Looking for something to emulate GameCube or Switch games at high levels.
the GMKtec K8 Plus with double the RAM and SSD, Ryzen 7 8845HS and 780m iGPU is also available for $175 more. Might be worth it if you intend to game much on the iGPU. Of course they both have Oculink. I'm debating between the two myself.

I think you just proved your own point

In regards to OP's post, solid deal but wait for price to go lower.
Basic supply and demand, not negotiation of COGS as the other person mentioned. If price ever goes down it will go down due to softening demand, not an efficiency of supply. Couple that with the fact that we are nearing recession and/or stagflation, your idea that companies are going to magically reduce costs through a trade war is an ineffective argument.

Can you please provide an example where a company has lowered prices when their costs increased?
