I replaced my Linux system with this $200 Windows mini PC - here's the verdict after a week

ZDNetTuesday, July 8, 2025 at 7:45:17 AM
A tech enthusiast ditched their Linux setup for a compact $200 Windows mini PC—the Minix Z97—and put it through its paces for a week. Despite its tiny size, the device handled everyday tasks smoothly and even managed to run three 4K displays without breaking a sweat. The verdict? A surprisingly capable little machine that might make budget-conscious users rethink their setups.
Editor’s Note: For anyone skeptical about cheap, pint-sized PCs, this hands-on review shows that affordable Windows devices can hold their own against pricier (or more niche) alternatives. It’s a win for folks who want performance without the bulk—or the Linux learning curve.

Prime members can get 50% off a Grubhub order - here's how
positiveTechnology
Amazon Prime members can score a sweet deal right now—50% off a Grubhub+ food delivery order. The article spills the details on how to grab the discount, including the promo code and where to plug it in.
Editor’s Note: If you're already a Prime member and love takeout, this is basically a free pass to treat yourself (or save some cash on dinner). With food delivery prices creeping up, half off is a rare win—worth checking out before the deal vanishes.
Looking for an affordable laptop with an OLED? Here's one I recommend for $534
positiveTechnology
If you've been hunting for a budget-friendly laptop with a stunning OLED screen, the Asus Vivobook S 15 might be your best bet—especially at its current sale price of $534. It’s got the kind of display that makes movies and work pop, solid battery life for on-the-go use, and enough power for students or frequent travelers. A rare find in this price range.
Editor’s Note: OLED screens are usually a premium feature, so snagging one under $600 is a big deal. This could be a game-changer for budget-conscious buyers who don’t want to compromise on display quality—whether for binge-watching, creative work, or just staring at spreadsheets all day.
The best Prime Day Apple deals on Airpods, iPads, MacBooks, and more
positiveTechnology
Amazon's Prime Day is here, and if you've been eyeing Apple gear—like AirPods, iPads, or MacBooks—now's the time to grab some serious discounts. This roundup highlights the best deals so you don’t have to hunt through endless listings. Just don’t wait too long; these prices won’t stick around forever.
Editor’s Note: Prime Day is basically Black Friday in July, and Apple products rarely go on sale. If you’ve been holding off on upgrading your tech, this could be your chance to save big—but act fast, because the best deals tend to vanish quickly.

Finally, Bluetooth trackers for Android users that rival AirTags (but cost less)
positiveTechnology
Android users have long envied Apple's AirTags for keeping track of lost items—until now. Chipolo just launched two affordable Bluetooth trackers (the One and Card Point) that work just as well for misplaced keys, wallets, or other essentials. No more frantic couch-cushion digs!
Editor’s Note: This levels the playing field for Android folks who’ve watched iPhone users effortlessly ping their lost stuff. Cheaper alternatives with similar functionality mean fewer headaches and more peace of mind—plus, it pushes competition in the tracker market, which is always good for consumers.
