If you’re tired of having to plug your laptop back in when you get home or that old desktop computer isn’t cutting it anymore, then now’s the perfect time to switch to one of the best mini PCs. Though small, these tiny little computers still pack a punch and are great for browsing the web, school or office work, and some are even powerful enough for video editing and even gaming.

The Amazon Big Spring Sale event is back, which makes this the ideal time to switch to a mini PC. Right now, you can pick up the new Mac mini M4 for $529. There are also loads of great deals to be had on Windows-based mini PCs like the Beelink SER8 for $499 or the super powerful AtomMan G7 for $1,055, which, in addition to being one of my favorite mini PCs for gaming, also handles video editing and other processor-heavy tasks exceptionally well.

Here are 9 Amazon Big Spring Sale mini PC deals I’d pick up for myself based on our testing and reviews.

Mini PC deals

Apple Mac mini M4
Apple Mac mini M4: was $599 now $529 at Amazon

If you’ve been waiting to upgrade from the Mac mini M2 or want to try out a Mac for the first time, the Mac mini M4 is the perfect little mini PC. It sports a completely redesigned and smaller case and now comes with front ports. Most importantly, it’s powered by Apple’s M4 chips. Another significant upgrade is that it ships with 16GB of RAM by default, as opposed to the 8GB you get with the Mac mini M2. In my Mac mini M4 review, I was thoroughly impressed by its new design and all that extra power under the hood. However, if you want USB-A ports and not just Thunderbolt and USB-C, you might want to pick up the Satechi Mac Mini M4 hub to go with it, which is also on sale for $90 right now.

Beelink SER8
Beelink SER8: was $629 now $499 at Amazon

Although you can upgrade most mini PCs with more RAM and storage, the Beelink SER8 comes fully equipped right out of the box. You get 32GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD with this model, along with plenty of ports. In fact, the SER8 can be used in a triple-monitor setup as around the back; you get an HDMI 2.1 port, DisplayPort 1.4 and a USB4 port along with three USB-A ports and a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port, which is perfect for multi-gig internet plans. Powered by a Ryzen 7 8745HS processor, this mini PC is perfect for work and can even handle some light gaming thanks to its built-in Radeon 780M graphics. You can also upgrade the SER8 with up to 64TB of DDR5 RAM and 2TB of storage if you need even more power later on.

GMKtec K9
GMKtec K9: was $760 now $600 at Amazon

This stylish, silver mini PC from GMKtec features the company’s iconic bright green power button and comes packed with enough power for a wide variety of use cases. The GMKtec K9 is powered by an Intel Core Ultra 125H processor and this model comes with 32GB of RAM along with a 1TB SSD. You get triple-monitor support thanks to the HDMI 2.0 port and DisplayPort connections around the back while there’s a USB 4 port at the front for video out. Its processor has built-in Intel Arc Graphics and you also get an AI-powered boost to help with generative AI workloads. The K9 is expandable too and you can add up to 96GB of RAM and up to 4TB of storage

Minisforum UM890 Pro
Minisforum UM890 Pro: was $909 now $727 at Amazon

If you’re looking for a sleek, all-black mini PC with loads of power, the Minisforum UM890 Pro certainly fits the bill. Not only does it come equipped with a whopping 64GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD, you also get an Oculink port around back to hook up an external graphics card. The UM890 is powered by a Ryzen 9 8945HS processor with integrated Radeon 780M graphics. There’s a nice selection of ports at the front and at the rear, you get two USB-A ports, two 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports, an HDMI 2.1 port, DisplayPort 1.4 and a USB4 port. The UM890 can drive four monitors and Minisforum’s Cold Wave 2.2 cooling tech keeps this mini PC from running hot.

Geekom A8
Geekom A8: was $849 now $721 at Amazon

Like the look of Apple’s Mac mini but prefer Windows, then the Geekom A8 could be the perfect mini PC for you. It has a full aluminum design, a great selection of front and rear ports, and Geekom’s IceBlast 1.5 tech, which keeps it cool in use. The A8 can even power a quad-monitor setup around the back; there are two HDMI 2.0 ports, a USB-C port capable of video out and a USB 4 port. While I haven’t reviewed the A8 yet, I did review its smaller sibling, the A6. In my Geekom A6 review, I couldn’t believe that it was smaller than both the Mac mini M4 and even the very tiny Asus NUC 14 Pro. The A8 gives you even more power than the A6 as it packs a Ryzen 9 8945HS processor into the same small case.

GMKtec Nucbox EVO-X1
GMKtec Nucbox EVO-X1: was $1,049 now $892 at Amazon

One of the great things about mini PCs is that some, like this one, can be completely transformed with the right accessories. The GMKtec Nucbox EVO-X1 is powerful enough in its own right, but on the front, in addition to your usual front ports, it has an Oculink port. This can be used to connect this mini PC to an external graphics card dock to transform it into a full-fledged gaming PC. Even if you don’t go that route, the EVO-X1 features a powerful Ryzen AI 9 HX-370 processor with built-in Radeon 890M integrated graphics. You also get 32GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD, and a case that lets you use this mini PC vertically if you don’t want to have it lying flat on your desk. Dual 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports also make it a great choice for those with a NAS, and with 50 TOPs, it’s also great for local AI workloads.

Minisforum EliteMini AI370
Minisforum EliteMini AI370: was $1,169 now $935 at Amazon

For those who want a lot of power in a traditional-style mini PC case, the Minisforum EliteMini AI370 certainly fits the bill. It’s powered by a Ryzen AI 9 CPU with integrated Radeon 890M graphics and comes with 32GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD. The AI370 has plenty of ports up front, including two USB-A ports, a USB4 port and a headphone jack, while around the back, you get an HDMI 2.1 port, DisplayPort 2.0, two USB-A ports and dual 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports. The AI370 is the perfect little powerhouse that won’t take up too much space on your desk. In our Minisforum AI370 review, we were impressed by how it could handle everything we threw at it, from complex RAW photo edits to even playing some games at a buttery smooth 60 fps.

AtomMan G7 PT
AtomMan G7 PT: was $1,399 now $1,055 at Amazon

Now, for those who want a mini PC that’s a bit different, we have the AtomMan G7 PT, which has a console-style look. Thanks to the included magnetic stand, this mini PC is designed to stand vertically on your desk, and its larger size gives it room for discrete Radeon RX 7600M XT graphics. The G7 PT is also very expandable, and you can add up to 96GB of RAM and 2TB of storage, although it ships with 32GB of DDR5 memory and a 1TB SSD on board. In my AtomMan G7 PT review, I praised this console-like mini PC’s unique design and the fact that it supports Wi-Fi 7 for faster downloads and uploads. The backlit RGB panels on one side and the red and black spider web-like webbing on the other make this one of the most unique-looking mini PCs I’ve reviewed yet.

AtomMan G7 Ti
AtomMan G7 Ti: was $1,599 now $1,289 at Amazon

Amazon is slashing the price of the AtomMan G7 Ti, which we rank as one the best mini PC for gaming. As you'd expect, it delivers a slim and cool-looking design, while providing excellent gaming performance thanks to its Intel Core i9-14900HX CPU and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 GPU. It's just a shame that you can only orientate it vertically, and its port selection is a bit lacking. Click the on-page coupon to get this deal.
