Amazon’s Prime Day is officially underway, and the PCMag deals team has already identified hundreds of significant price cuts across the tech spectrum. As a publication focused squarely on personal computing, we’ve zeroed in on the best desktop PC deals available during this four-day sales event. The following 11 offers represent the year’s deepest discounts, spanning everything from ultra-reliable business machines and big-screen all-in-ones to high-performance gaming towers.
Lenovo ThinkCentre Neo 50q The ThinkCentre Neo 50q is a remarkably capable compact desktop powered by an Intel Core i5-13420H processor, making it effortless for daily productivity tasks. Our review of a different Snapdragon-based configuration highlighted its quiet operation, energy efficiency, and Lenovo’s ThinkShield security suite for enhanced protection. Accessing the interior for upgrades is straightforward, requiring just a single screw to slide off the top panel. This Prime Day deal brings a 23% discount.
Dell Pro Tower Plus Dell remains a cornerstone of reliable PC hardware, and this tower offers no surprises beyond its $100 price reduction. For $900, you receive a dependable desktop equipped with a fast Intel Core Ultra 5 processor, ideal for heavy web browsing, document creation, and even light content creation or casual gaming. Our review of the nearly identical non-Pro Tower Plus praised its sensible dimensions, easy accessibility, and wide selection of ports. At this price, it stands as one of the best desktop values available.
HP Pro Tower 290 For another take on a business desktop, the HP Pro Tower 290 delivers everything you need at a substantial 38% Prime Day discount. Built around a 13th-generation Intel Core i5 processor with integrated Intel 770 graphics, this energy-efficient and highly reliable machine handles most tasks with ease. Connectivity is solid, featuring Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, and gigabit Ethernet, while Windows 11 Pro preinstalled offers extensive control over system settings. This machine is the definition of a workhorse PC for home or office use, though it doesn’t target gamers or demanding content creators.
Asus V500 Mini Tower Desktop The Asus V500 is a top Prime Day pick at 20% off, offering a productivity-focused tower that is both small in size and price. This mini desktop maintains a traditional vertical form factor with room for expansion. Right out of the box, its 13th-generation Intel Core i5 CPU handles everyday document creation, web browsing, video calls, and media streaming with ease. While not a gaming powerhouse, the integrated Intel UHD graphics can deliver FHD output at decent frame rates for casual games. Front port selection is limited to two USB-A ports, one USB-C, and a headphone jack, though the rear provides additional connectivity.
Corsair Vengeance i7500 Gaming Desktop Prime Day discounts extend to gaming prebuilts, and for those seeking an aggressive-looking tower that dominates today’s top titles, the Corsair Vengeance i7500 deserves attention. It features a tremendous component selection, including a beastly Core i9 processor and the Blackwell-series RTX 5080 graphics card, considered the best of its generation. The case design is excellent, with a Nautilus ARGB liquid CPU cooler, optimized airflow from multiple fans, and wraparound tempered glass panels. Extensive ports and multi-monitor support allow for a personalized battlestation setup. Amazon offers an 11% price drop.
Asus ROG GR70 Mini Gaming Tower For a more compact option that still packs gaming muscle, the Asus ROG GR70 mini tower delivers at 7% off. While we haven’t tested this specific model, our evaluation of the similar ROG NUC 970 earned an “Excellent” rating for packing high-end components into a startlingly small form factor. The Ryzen 9 processor is tuned for gaming with excellent heat management and power efficiency, while the RTX 5070 graphics card provides rock-solid 1440p gameplay at high frame rates. Connectivity is a bonus, with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4, and the custom cooling system keeps it whisper-quiet under heavy load.
Lenovo IdeaCentre 27 All-In-One Desktop All-in-one desktops are excellent for families due to reduced cable management and simpler setup. Lenovo’s best Prime Day option is the large-screen IdeaCentre 27, featuring a 27-inch FHD display. It’s great for streaming video and casual gaming, while the Core i7 processor is robust enough for everyday productivity. Our detailed review highlighted easily accessible ports and a comfortable wireless keyboard, though screen brightness could be higher. At this price, it’s hard to ignore.
Dell 27 All-In-One Desktop Dell enthusiasts seeking a versatile all-in-one will find this 27-inch model a solid choice. With a large FHD touch screen and decent components, it’s easy to set up in a family room, kitchen, or office. It’s also excellent for videoconferencing thanks to a built-in 5MP camera with IR support and clear, loud dual speakers. Our review of a similar model praised its strong application performance and attractive, modern design. A 19% discount makes it even more desirable, but this Prime Day price won’t last.
Apple iMac M4 Apple’s iMac has long set the standard for all-in-one desktops, blending Cupertino design with solid performance for creativity and leisure. The 2024 iteration introduced vibrant colors and boosted computational power courtesy of the M4 processor. Our review awarded it an Editors’ Choice, calling it “the smartest iMac yet” due to its improved 12-megapixel camera, excellent macOS functionality, and useful Apple Intelligence features. This pink-hued model fits well with softer decor, though a blue version is also available at the same 6% discount.
Geekom A9 Max Mini For space-constrained users seeking a desktop experience, a mini form factor PC is ideal. We awarded an Editors’ Choice to the Geekom A6, calling it “a no-nonsense mini PC that can handle a decent workload at a budget price.” This computer clearly takes inspiration from Apple’s Mac mini, mimicking its silver aluminum matte finish and no-frills design. At just 1.4 by 4.4 by 4.4 inches, it’s small enough to carry in a bag and quite durable. Its Ryzen 7 processor, decent RAM, and storage make it ideal for productivity tasks, and it includes a VESA mount for wall or desk attachment.
MSI Cubi 5 Professional Mini Desktop MSI also produces a solid line of pint-sized PCs, and a $50 discount on the Cubi 5 Professional is noteworthy. Our 2023 review found it a great pick for basic productivity or as a dedicated streaming PC. This loadout is significantly better than the one we reviewed, bumping the processor to an Intel i5 and doubling the system RAM to 32GB. This makes it suitable for more resource-intensive creative work and even gaming, with support for 4K resolutions at up to 60Hz. Solid front and rear port selection rounds out a very impressive mid-priced package.
