Amazon closed its Prime Big Deal Days event at midnight on Wednesday, but several desktop computers remained marked down on Thursday afternoon.
PCMag reported on October 8 that post-sale reductions lingered on systems from Apple, Dell, HP, and Lenovo. Rather than snapping back to full retail immediately, select desktop towers, compact units, and all-in-one machines carried price cuts ranging from 14 percent to 33 percent.
Apple's Mac mini saw a $150 reduction on Amazon when PCMag cataloged the remaining inventory. That model runs an Apple Silicon chip paired with 24GB of unified memory, alongside a 2.5Gbps Ethernet port, Thunderbolt 4 connections, and Apple support for Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6. For all-in-one buyers, the 2024 iMac with Apple's M4 processor and a 24-inch Liquid Retina screen was listed with a $140 discount. That version packs a 10-core CPU, a 10-core GPU, and a 12-megapixel webcam.
Windows Towers and Budget All-in-Ones
Traditional desktop shoppers saw the Dell Pro Tower discounted by 33 percent on Amazon. The build runs an Intel Core i3 processor with Intel 730 integrated graphics, which feed dual 4K monitors through HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4. Dell bundles 16GB of RAM, a 1TB solid-state drive, Gigabit Ethernet, and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity inside a mid-sized chassis intended for home office tasks.
Lenovo saw price drops across both miniature business hardware and family setups. The ThinkCentre Neo 50q miniature tower was marked down in an Intel configuration running Windows 11 Pro, shipped with a wired keyboard, a mouse, and a 64GB external storage drive. Meanwhile, Amazon listed the 24-inch Lenovo IdeaCentre all-in-one for under $500. That machine pairs an Intel N100 processor with 8GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD, relying on an integrated screen to keep desk clutter down.
HP's 24-inch all-in-one desktop carried a 14 percent markdown. The machine incorporates an FHD IPS panel with a 90 percent screen-to-body ratio and a pop-up privacy webcam. Because internal storage tops out at a modest 128GB, HP bundles a 500GB external drive in the box.
At the entry level, Amazon listed the Kamrui compact desktop for under $350. The mini PC carries an AMD Ryzen 7330U four-core processor, Radeon graphics, 16GB of RAM, and two internal expansion slots covering SATA and PCIe 3.0 NVMe drives.
Amazon has not stated how long remaining inventory will hold these sale prices before returning to standard retail listings.
