If you grab it on sale for $150, its excellent value.
Unlike most Mini PCs, it has some design characterbut is that what you want from a Mini PC?
Whats in The Box?
This active cooling section also lights up blue when the machine is awake and red when asleep.
The case is made of matte black plastic, which loves fingerprints.
There are two variants of the MP60, featuring 8GB DDR4 RAM and 256GB SSD storage, or 16GB/512GB.

We were sent the larger of the two for testing.
Using the on-page Amazon coupon you’re able to currently grab the former for $150.
Overall performance is roughly equivalent to a Core i5-4258U desktop-class CPU.
You arent going to get a fantastic performance from this.
As can be seen from testing, it will barely run any modern games.
Setup
Upon first boot, you’ll be asked to create an account.
This is managed locally, since you won’t have internet access yet.
A full Windows reset should alleviate any concerns.
The first thing you’ll see upon boot-up is a screen of broken icons.
The Windows 11 UI is snappy, apps load quickly, and it feels like a modern Windows PC.
You’ll find the aforementioned apps like TikTok run well.
So, abandon all hope of even light 1080p 3D gaming on this.
PS5 Remote Play worked, but it was still slightly laggy, even over the Gigabit LAN.
As expected, neither comes close to the performance an M1 Mac Mini.
Finally, Cinebech R23 showed a multi-core of 1797, and single core 610.
This is disappointing, but it still compares favorably against the 1125 and 502 of theGeekom Mini Air 11.
This is no doubt helped by our test model having double the RAM.
And again, even during this heavy testing, the Blackview MP60 remained almost completely silent.
It features similar specs, with only a slightly smaller form factor.
There’s almost nothing between them other than the design and LEDs.
Again, the design is rather boring compared to the Blackview.
Need a Cheap Office PC?
At least you won’t mistake your place in a hot-desking environment.
The other unique selling point is the absurdly low priceat the time of writing, anyway.
Again, as a cheap machine to play around with or try out some programming, the MP60 excels.
At $150, its excellent value.
