Amazon’s annual Prime Day starts is here and we’re already seeing amazing early discounts start to roll in. Instead of the usual two day event we usually get from Amazon, we’re seeing an extension this year, with Prime Day scheduled to kick off on July 8th and end on July 11th. That’s a four day sale extravaganza.
One thing we’re really loving about tech this year is the explosion of mini PCs. We’re seeing a lot more of them and they’re super affordable, rather powerful, and absolutely tiny. Some come with the latest AMD CPU, others run on Intel, some feature DDR4, others come with the newer DDR5. Storage is usually not a problem with mini PCs, either, and multitasking on multiple screens is expected.
I’ve gone ahead and hunted all the best mini PC deals you can currently get your hands on right now. Here are the best Prime Day mini PC discounts I found, along with my recommendations. There’s also an FAQ at the end in case you need more guidance when buying these. You’ll need to be a Prime member to take advantage of these deals — here’s how to score a free Amazon Prime trial subscription and get in on the action.

My favorite of the bunch is the Acemagician Matrix M1 for $278.10. That’s an impeccable price for a fantastic device. Running on a Ryzen 7, with 16GB DDR5 RAM, and 512GB SSD, this is a great daily driver. It even supports three 4K displays, thus allowing you to multitask to your heart’s desire. Even though it doesn’t have a dedicated graphics card, it does feature the RAdeon 680M GPU, which is more than enough for some light gaming. The Bosgame P4 is a close second, especially since it delivers a full TB of storage space for $285.

My favorite deal on this list is for the GMKtec M2 Pro which is down to $420 from its $640 MSRP. Running on a speedy i7 processor and with 32GB RAM, as well as a 1TB SSD, this device gives you loads of power to complete any of your tasks. Did I mention it supports three displays? That’s amazing! If you’re aiming to use four screens, you should go for the Geekom IT13 for $599 – you’ll pay a little extra, but you’ll have a ton more space to spread all the apps you need.

FAQ
What to consider when buying a mini PC?
There are multiple things to consider when getting a mini PC, starting with your performance needs. Once you figure out what you’re going to use the PC for, you can make the right choice for you in terms of CPU, memory, and storage. Whether or not it comes with an operating system should also be on your checklist because you may not want to worry about installing a fresh copy of Windows, for instance.
Can a mini PC replace a desktop?
Yes, mini PCs can absolutely replace desktops for many users, especially if you’re mainly going to use it for office work, browsing, and media streaming. Some higher performance models can even handle video editing or gaming, but their price tag reflects that.
What is the downside to a mini PC?
One of the main downsides to most mini PCs is that they don’t come with a dediated graphics card, so their usability for gaming is limited. Also, most mini PCs are geared towards general use, so tasks like video editing may not work as well. Understanding component limitations can help you pick the right system for your needs.
Do mini PCs support multiple monitors?
Yes, most mini PCs support at last two monitors, which is more than we can say about numerous laptops on the market. Many models support three or four monitors, thus enabling you efficiently multitask, spreading your apps across multiple screens. Most often than not, you can connect the displays via HDMI, DisplayPort, but also via USB-C.
What can you upgrade on a mini PC?
Most mini PCs are easy to upgrade. The RAM and SSD are usually extremely easy to swap out and each model will come with specific requirements, as in the specific type of SSD it can support, maximum storage capacity and maximum supported RAM. Many models come with a magnetic cover that you need to pop open to access both RAM and SSD, while others require a tiny screwdriver to take out the case. Either way, it’s a fairly painless process.
