What local AI mini PCs cost per GB of unified memory

Strix Halo / Ryzen AI Max+ mini PCs ranked by $/GB of unified memory (primary price ÷ soldered RAM in GB). Tax, shipping, and optional add-ons stay out of that figure.

Default sort is $/GB ascending across 15 Strix Halo configurations. When Amazon and official both exist, the other channel sits under the buy button. Mac Studio, Mac mini, and DGX Spark sit below for comparison only.

FAQ

What does $/GB mean here?

Primary price divided by unified RAM in GB. It ranks soldered-memory machines by memory cost, not by GPU bandwidth, thermals, or ports. More detail: how to compare local AI mini PC prices.

Which price is the primary price?

If Amazon is in stock and sold by the brand’s own storefront, Amazon is primary. Otherwise the official-store price is primary. When both exist, the other channel stays as a text link under the buy button — never as a second bold headline price.

Why can Framework $/GB look low?

Framework Desktop DIY prices exclude SSD and OS. Add those before comparing to turnkey mini PCs that ship with storage and Windows or Linux.

What is left out of these prices?

Tax, shipping, checkout-only coupons, MSRP/compare-at figures, and third-party marketplace sellers. Blank cells are incomplete (—), never $0.
