As part of an official promotion, we are now looking at the first chance we have tracked to save on SpaceX Starlink Mini AC Dual Band Satellite Wi-Fi System at $449.99 shipped via Best Buy. This is a regularly $599 setup that is now seeing sizable $149 price drop – the best we have seen since it became available in the US. The Starlink Mini comes at a bit of a premium over the older standard entry-level setup that carries a regular $350 price tag – one of the differences here is the router is separate on the standard, whereas the mini combines the two into a single unit (but the mini is also newer and has better specs overall).
For those unfamiliar, you’ll want to dive into our rundown of what Starlink is right here from our friends at Space Explored. But the short form version, as far as the Mini goes anyway, is that you’re looking at a portable satellite internet system that links up with the SpaceX satellite array in low earth orbit to deliver internet access anywhere in a single unit.
You, of course, will have to subscribe to the Starlink Mini internet plans to make it all happen – they start 50GB per month and jump up to $165 per month for the unlimited Roam Data plan. Users can “pause and un-pause service at any time. Billing is in one-month increments, allowing you to customize your service to your individual travel needs.”
Starlink Mini is a “compact, portable kit that can easily fit in a backpack, designed to provide high-speed, low-latency internet on the go.” The system includes a built-in WiFi router, DC power input, and max download speeds over 100 Mbps.
Starlink offers high-speed internet almost anywhere across the world. Roam allows for travel anywhere in your country and international trips in live Starlink markets.Starlink connects within minutes and packs up quickly when it’s time to move to your next destination.
The actual operation and setup is pretty simple here too – plug it in and point it at the sky…done. Just keep in mind it requires an obstructed view of the sky.
