Amazon’s latest discount season is almost upon us, with the Prime Big Deal Days taking place on October 6 and 7, but some early deals have already begun — if you know where to look. Thankfully, we do.
One product type that is already seeing some discounts, but some well-hidden ones, are mini PC deals. These pint-sized computers are designed to take up little space on your desk, and the deals ensure they won’t take up much of your budget too, with some rigs up to 50% off at Amazon. You can find a few of the best discounts below, from brands that we know and trust, and while most of them are gaming rigs, there are one or two business PCs too for if you only play indie titles.
Should you buy a mini PC?
A mini PC might not be the first port of call for someone getting into PC gaming. It’s easy to assume you need a pre-built super-machine, or to construct your own rig with own-chosen parts.
But they have a few advantages; mainly that they’re small. These devices are designed not to take up loads of desk space, while still offering loads of connection offerings.
Unless you buy an expensive mini gaming PC like the Asus ROG GR70, you’re not going to be getting the absolute best specs. But you’d be surprised by how much space some of the above products have; multiple offer 1TB SSD.
Lots of the mini gaming PCs listed above also undercut many pre-built rigs, bearing in mind the discounts. So they could be an easier way to get into gaming, ticking all your boxes even if they’re not the most powerful out there.
We’re going to be covering plenty more Prime Day gaming deals over the next few days, and we’re already seeing plenty of Prime Day retro gaming deals kicking off. And if you want to know where best to spend your money, we’ve got a round-up of the best gaming PC prebuilds.
