You Can’t Top These Early Prime Big Deal Days Sales on Desktops

Desktop computers have become less of an industry mainstay in an era where you can carry a powerful processor in your pocket, but there are still some things that a traditional PC is better at. If you’ve got a desk that’s lonely without a PC on it, have no fear. In preparation for Amazon’s upcoming Prime Big Deal Days sale, we’ve been trawling through their listings to pull out early access deals, and what follows are a few nice PCs at price cuts of 10% or more.

Gaming Desktop Deals

Gaming desktops come in a wide variety of configurations, and it can be hard to hit that sweet spot between performance and price. At a 16% discount, though, this Alienware Aurora R16 build is tough to resist. In a sleek and minimal chassis with stylish LED accents, it’s got plenty of room for expansion and tons of ports. When we reviewed this model when it was released in 2023, we praised its quiet operation and admirable value, and this one has a cutting-edge 50-series Nvidia GPU to bring it into the modern era.

Mini Desktop Deals

Small footprint PCs have become big business in recent years, as they combine the power of a traditional desktop with plug-and-play portability. Geekom makes a wide variety of models, many of which land on our roundup of the best Windows mini PCs, and the A8 stacks up nicely, especially at 21% off list price. With a very capable Ryzen 7 processor that can handle productivity tasks with ease, paired with a capacious 32GB of DDR5 RAM, this pocket-sized PC can slot in to just about any situation. The USB4 port lets you charge, read and write data, and support multiple monitors. Even with such a compact build, it stays cool as well.

All-In-One Desktop Deals

All-in-one PCs are good options for less tech-savvy households, especially ones with kids. Not only do they simplify cable management and take up less desk space, they’re built for casual usage and often ship at nice low price points. Case in point: Dell’s 24-inch all-in-one, which we reviewed positively earlier this year. With support for Wi-Fi 6E, tons of ports and a wireless keyboard and mouse, it couldn’t be simpler to set up and is great for watching Netflix, surfing the Web, taking care of work tasks and much more. While the Core 3 processor isn’t a speed demon, it’s more than functional, and an 11% price drop makes this an even better deal.
