PCWorld published its latest mini PC deals roundup on October 12, pulling together a batch of small-form-factor desktops discounted on Amazon this week. Prices range from $350 for a budget Ryzen 3 machine to $629 for a Ryzen 7 Pro box aimed at heavier multitasking.
The standout for anyone chasing mini PC gaming is the Reatan A8, built around an AMD Ryzen 7 8745HS with Radeon 780M graphics, 16GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB SSD. PCWorld lists it at $559 with a coupon, 13 percent off its regular price. What sets it apart from the rest of the list is an Oculink port, which lets you connect an external graphics card and turn a compact desktop into something closer to a real gaming rig. That's the closest thing on this list to a mini PC with a graphics card, since none of these machines ship with discrete GPUs built in.
For straightforward productivity, the Glorlin AI Mini PC pairs a Ryzen 7 Pro 8845HS with the same Radeon 780M graphics, 16GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB SSD, listed at $629 after a 10 percent coupon discount. PCWorld also flags the Bosgame P6, running a Ryzen 9 6900HX with 24GB of LPDDR5X RAM and a 1TB SSD, at $550, 8 percent off.
On the Intel side, the biggest percentage cut in the roundup belongs to the Kamrui P2, which pairs a 12th-gen Core i5-12600H with 32GB of DDR5 RAM, a 1TB SSD and support for three 4K displays. PCWorld lists it at $569, a 39 percent discount, and notes it ships with Windows 11 Pro. The Kamrui Hyper H2 Mini, built around a Core i5-14500HX with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD, is listed at $480, 28 percent off.
Budget shoppers get two entries. The Kamrui Pinova P2 runs a quad-core Ryzen 3 7330U with 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD, at $350, 8 percent off, though the storage is tight by modern standards. The older Beelink SER5 Mini, with a Ryzen 5 5500U, 16GB of DDR4 RAM and a 480GB SSD, sits at $389, 17 percent off.
For heavier workloads, PCWorld's list includes the Acemagic Mini M5 with a 16-core Core i7-14650HX, 16GB of DDR4 RAM and a 1TB SSD, at $581 with a coupon, close to 15 percent off and bundled with Windows 11 Pro. The GMKtec M2 Pro rounds things out at $500, a 23 percent cut, built around an older Core i7-1185G7 with Iris Xe graphics.
All of these prices and discounts were as PCWorld reported them on October 12, and Amazon listings shift often, so what's live today may not hold tomorrow. PCWorld says it updates the roundup daily, which is the only way to know if a given price is still standing before you check out.
