Amazon’s Prime Day deals are finally here, and if you’ve been thinking about investing in one of the best mini PCs, now is the perfect time to do so. Whether you want to ditch your bulky desktop or aging laptop and downsize to a mini PC, you have plenty of options to pick from.

I’ve already found some great deals on several of my favorite mini PCs, including the super budget-friendly Kamrui E3B at $299, the sleek, all-aluminum Beelink SER8 for $499 and the Geekom A8 Max for $529 — a powerful model that I’m currently using myself.

I downsized from a desktop to a mini PC years ago, and I’ve never looked back. As someone who covers everything from budget mini PCs to high-end configurations built for productivity and even gaming, these recommendations come with my stamp of approval, based on both real-world and lab testing as well as my own reviews. If you don’t see something you like right now, don’t worry, as these are just some of the first deals that caught my eye and I’ll be updating this list as October Prime Day continues.

These are the best Big Prime Day Deals on mini PCs for every use case and budget that I personally recommend.

On the front of the E3B, you get two USB-A ports, a USB-C port with video out and a headphone jack.

Geekom A5 2025 Edition: was $319 now $271 at Amazon

The Geekom A5 (2025 Edition) is my new pick for the best budget mini PC, given that it costs just over $300 at full price.

While you don’t get a USB-C port on the front (just two USB-A ports and a headphone jack), around back you get two USB-C ports with video out, two HDMI ports, two USB-A ports and a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port. Oh, and did I mention there’s an SD card reader on the side? In my Geekom A5 2025 Edition review, I said this affordable mini PC performs even better than it looks with its unique rose gold colorway.

The Beelink SER8 immediately sets itself apart from other mini PCs on this list thanks to its unibody aluminum case.

Geekom A8 Max
Geekom A8 Max: was $649 now $519 at Amazon

The Geekom A8 Max looks a lot like the Geekom A6 I reviewed earlier this year, but with a whole lot more power and all the USB-A ports you could ever need on the front. It comes equipped with an AMD Ryzen 7 8745HS processor, 32GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB M.2 SSD. On the front of the A8 Max, you get not one, not two, but four USB-A ports and a headphone jack.
