Black Friday is Friday, November 27, 2026. Amazon’s Black Friday deals run November 19–30, through Cyber Monday, from 12:01 a.m. PT (3:01 a.m. ET) on November 19. , Amazon lists ASUS Chromebox 5a Mini PC at $380.25, with no deal badge.
Cheaper in Desktops, and what changes
Things of the same kind for at least 10% less than $380.25, with the attributes the retailers describe differently. Their words, not our judgement: we compare listings, we do not test products.
Windows 11 needs at least a 64-bit processor with two or more cores at 1 GHz, 4 GB of memory, 64 GB of storage, TPM 2.0 and UEFI Secure Boot. That is what it takes to install and update Windows, not a comfortable working setup.
16 GB of memory is the most common amount on the PCs in Steam’s October 2026 survey (41.42%), so a desktop with 8 GB sits below what most of them carry.
