Lenovo ThinkCentre Neo 50q Desktop Prime Day Deal
We consistently rate Lenovo machines some of the best options for everyday business productivity, and if you need an all-purpose tower with solid components at a great price, the ThinkCentre Neo 50q is a top choice. We have a detailed review of a slightly different build of this machine (with an ARM-based processor as opposed to this one's Intel CPU), where we noted that it ran silently and stably, had understated but solid construction, and extra enterprise-grade security tools in Windows 11 Pro. It does use a wired keyboard and mouse, but you get plenty of ports for extra peripherals. This bundle also comes with a 64GB external drive for a little extra storage.
HP OmniDesk Desktop Prime Day Deal
HP's latest line of OmniDesk towers immediately catch attention with their retro-styled woodgrain front panels, which eschew the LED-laden futurism of most modern PCs to hearken back to the computer rooms of the 1980s. This one has more than good looks, though, as it's tricked out with excellent productivity-focused components that will make it a fine addition to any home or office, including a capable Core Ultra 7 processor and a full 1TB of storage. We have a detailed preview of this machine from CES, where we also note that it has good port selection and connectivity, and fits in a fairly small footprint. A Prime Big Deal Days price drop of 29% is epic.
Dell Pro Tower Desktop Prime Day Deal
For a Dell desktop that's built for productivity, the Pro Tower is a hot pick at a 33% discount. While the Core i3 processor isn't the most potent that Intel makes, it's still fairly capable, with integrated Intel 730 graphics that support dual 4K displays via HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4. A decent 16GB of RAM lets you keep a ton of tabs open, and a full terabyte of storage is impressive at this price. The case is moderately-sized so it'll fit under or on top of desks, with good airflow and solid connectivity including Gigabit Ethernet and Wi-Fi 6. If you're setting up a small business or a home office, this is a can-do desktop that won't disappoint.
CyberPower PC Gaming Desktop Prime Day Deal
Gamers have a lot to enjoy during Prime Big Deal Days, starting with this absolute bargain basement-priced CyberPower PC desktop. If you've been wanting to get into PC gaming, or have a younger relative who deserves their first dedicated battlestation, this is a great pick for just over a thousand bucks. It has a Blackwell-series RTX 5060 GPU , capable RAM and storage loadout, and a speedy Intel Core i5 processor. Although it's not going to push out 4K graphics, it's more than good enough for all of today's top games in 1080p, and plenty of connectivity and easy component access make it ready for the long haul. You also get a one-year parts and labor warranty plus free lifetime tech support.
Apple Mac Mini Desktop Prime Day Deal
Apple's Mac Mini is the standard-bearer for the compact desktop format, and the latest release of this pocket-sized PC is an incredible performer. We gave it an Editors' Choice award in our review , with PCMag expert Joe Osbourne proclaiming that it "outperforms mini PCs powered by the latest silicon from AMD and Intel, some of them costing more than twice as much." Apple's in-house processors are precisely tuned for MacOS perfection, and a generous 24GB of memory makes it great for creative work. Connectivity is also exceptional, with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 support along with plenty of Thunderbolt 4 connections and a 2.5Gbps Ethernet port. Get it with a $150 discount right now.
GMKtec M6 Ultra Mini Desktop Prime Day Deal
Here's another mini desktop that packs a ton of component value into a tiny little case for a tiny little price. The GMKTec M6 Ultra is a solid machine for light gaming and more, with an aging but still versatile six-core Ryzen 5 7640HS processor, decent Radeo 760M graphics card, and the 16GB of RAM and 1TB SSD you'd expect at this price point. While it's not going to break any speed records, it has more than enough juice for most users. Physically, it's a compact device that still offers room for expansion inside, with two SO-DIMM slots enabling up to 128GB of RAM and two M.2 2280 slots for additional SSDs. HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort, and USB4 outputs let you run up to three displays at once. For under $500, this is a real dazzler of a pint-sized PC.
Kamrui Pinova Mini Desktop Prime Day Deal
If you want an ultra-budget mini desktop option that's great for running a lightweight media server, digital signage, or just a low-octane workstation, this unit from Chinese company Kamrui packs a big punch in a tiny size. The four-core AMD Ryzen 7330U is an above-average performer in its price range, with integrated Radeon graphics for better visual performance, and a full 16GB of RAM is astonishingly generous for a desktop under $325. Bigger storage on the boot drive would be nice, but it has two storage expansion slots, one SATA/NVMe PCIe 3.0 and one SATA, so you can add more drives with ease. Plenty of ports and solid Wi-Fi round this one out.
HP 24 OmniStudio All-In-One Desktop Prime Day Deal
If you don't want to deal with the more advanced technical aspects of setting up a desktop, an all-in-one PC might be the solution, and Amazon has a massive 30% discount on an awesome HP model. With a 24-inch FHD IPS display boasting a 90% screen-to-body ratio, the monitor houses all the computer's chips, along with a good selection of ports for all your peripherals. Of note is the pop-up webcam, which gives you a physical way to turn it off and make sure you're staying private. The included wired keyboard and mouse are both effective, if nondescript. Our one pain point is the skimpy 128GB of system storage, but this bundles a 500GB removable drive along with it.
Lenovo IdeaCentre All-In-One Desktop Prime Day Deal
If money's tight and you need a low-profile computer for the whole family, this deal that brings the 24-inch Lenovo IdeaCentre down under $500 is worth a look. Right up front, you're not going to get enviable speed from this loadout, with an Intel N100 CPU and a meager 8GB of system memory running the show. That said, there's plenty that this all-in-one can do, including basic Web browsing and media streaming as well as productivity and education software. A full 512GB SSD is impressive at this price bracket, and because it's a Lenovo the included wired keyboard feels pleasant to use. We haven't fully tested this one, but here's a similar IdeaCentre review to compare it to.
