I found 9 awesome Amazon Prime Day mini PC deals to replace your bulky desktop or aging laptop

The Beelink SER5 Pro comes equipped with a Ryzen 7 5825U processor, 16GB of DDR4 RAM and a 500GB M.2 SSD. You get plenty of useful ports on the front, including two USB-A ports, a USB-C port with video out and a headphone jack, as well as HDMI, DisplayPort, two USB-A ports and a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port around back. The SER5 Pro is also easy to upgrade and supports up to 64GB of memory and up to a 4TB M.2 SSD.

The Kamrui E3B was my previous pick for the best budget mini PC as you get plenty of power for the price. This very affordable mini PC comes equipped with an AMD Ryzen 7430U processor, 32GB of DDR4 RAM and a 512GB M.2 SSD. On the front of the E3B, you get two USB-A ports, a USB-C port with video out and a headphone jack. Around back, you get HDMI and DisplayPort for video out, a Gigabit Ethernet jack and, surprisingly, four more USB-A ports. In my Kamrui E3B review, I praised its near-silent fan and its sleek, all-black design.

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. This mini PC is powered by an AMD Ryzen 5 7430U processor, 16GB of DDR4 RAM and a 512GB M.2 SSD. 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 GMKtec M5 Plus comes equipped with an AMD Ryzen 7 5825U processor, 32GB of DDR4 RAM and a 1TB M.2 SSD. In terms of ports, you get two USB-A ones on the front, along with a USB-C port with video out and a headphone jack. Around back, you get HDMI, DisplayPort, two USB-A ports and dual 2.5 Gbps Ethernet ports. Unlike the Kamrui E3B or the Geekom A5, the GMKtec M5 Plus features Wi-Fi 6E, which supports the 6 GHz band for even faster downloads.

The base model Mac mini M4 is a big step up from its predecessor and likely enough for most people without any expensive upgrades. It comes with Apple’s powerful M4 chip, 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. You also get plenty of ports in a tiny package with three Thunderbolt 4 ports, two USB-C ports, HDMI and Ethernet. If it wasn't for the awkward power button placement and the complete lack of USB-A ports, I would have easily given this one 5 stars in my Mac mini M4 review.

The Beelink SER8 immediately sets itself apart from other mini PCs on this list thanks to its unibody aluminum case. It’s powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 8745HS processor, 32GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB M.2 SSD. On the front of the SER8, you get a USB-A port, a USB-C port and a headphone jack, but the real magic happens around back, where you get HDMI, DisplayPort, a USB4 port, three USB-A ports and even an extra audio jack, which is great if you want to plug in a pair of computer speakers.

The Minisforum UM880 Plus is powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS processor, 32GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB M.2 SSD. Around front, you just get two USB-A ports and a headphone jack, but on the back, you’ll find an HDMI port, a DisplayPort, a USB4 port, two USB-A ports, a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port and something you don’t often see, an OCulink port. With an OCulink port, you can easily plug in an external graphics card and transform this mini PC into a gaming rig.

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. Then, around back, you get two HDMI ports, two USB4 ports, two USB-A ports and two 2.5 Gbps Ethernet ports. I’m still putting the A8 Max through its paces, but for the price, you’re getting a very powerful mini PC with loads of ports that’s also very upgradeable.

The Minisforum X1 Pro is a feature-packed and powerful mini PC that comes equipped with an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 chipset, 32GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB SSD. As this is a Copilot+ PC too, there’s a dedicated Copilot button on the front along with a USB4 port, two USB-A ports and a headphone jack. There’s also a dedicated fingerprint reader on the top of the X1 Pro by the power button and an SD card reader on the side. Around back, you get another USB-A port, HDMI, DisplayPort, dual 2.5 Gbps Ethernet ports, another USB4 port and an OCulink port.
