Best Prime Day 2026 Desktop PC Deals, From $524 to $3,299
Amazon Prime Day 2026 runs through June 26, and the best desktop PC deals span from $524 mini PCs to $3,299 gaming rigs, with savings from 6% to 38%.
Amazon Prime Day 2026 runs through June 26, and the best desktop PC deals at the four-day event span from $524.07 mini PCs to $3,299.99 gaming towers. PCMag’s 11 picks from Dell, HP, Lenovo, Apple, and others carry price drops of 6% to 38%, with the largest percentage drops on business desktops and the smallest on gaming rigs.
The mix matters: the same shopping window covers a $50.00 trim on a mini PC that PCMag’s lab has tested and a $499.01 cut on an HP business tower. The pick ties to which form factor and use case fits, not to which discount is loudest on the page. K. Thor Jensen, a contributing writer at PCMag, selected each model based on prior PCMag reviews or hands-on testing of similar configurations, as detailed on the Prime Day desktop discounts page.
Business Desktops Lead the Discount Board
Office-class desktops hold the deepest Prime Day price cuts in PCMag’s 11-deal roundup, with three of the four picks in this category coming in under $900. The HP Pro Tower 290 G9 leads the group at 38% off, dropping to $799.99 from a list price of $1,299.00. PCMag describes the machine as “the very definition of a workhorse PC for homes and offices.” It’s built around a 13th-generation Intel Core i5-13500 CPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD, with Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, gigabit Ethernet, and Windows 11 Pro preinstalled.
Lenovo’s ThinkCentre Neo 50q comes in next at $664.99, a $195.00 cut from $859.99 that works out to 23% off. The pint-sized tower uses an Intel Core i5-13420H processor and ships with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD, with a single-screw top panel for expansion that PCMag’s review of a similar Snapdragon-based configuration praised for quiet, power-efficient operation. Dell’s Pro Tower Plus rounds out the category at $899.99, $100.00 below its $999.99 list, built around an Intel Core Ultra 5 235 with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD.
The fourth pick, Asus’s V500 Mini Tower, sits at $597.99, a $152.00 cut that PCMag calls “one of the best Prime Day picks at 20% off” for productivity buyers. The trade-off: port selection on the front is light, with just two USB-A ports, one USB-C, and a headphone jack. Most cable management will run to the rear I/O. The full set of business tower deals is below.
| Model | Sale price | Original price | Savings | % off |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HP Pro Tower 290 G9 | $799.99 | $1,299.00 | $499.01 | 38% |
| Lenovo ThinkCentre Neo 50q | $664.99 | $859.99 | $195.00 | 23% |
| Dell Pro Tower Plus | $899.99 | $999.99 | $100.00 | N/A |
| Asus V500 Mini Tower | $597.99 | $749.99 | $152.00 | 20% |
The Gaming Tower Picks
The two gaming towers in PCMag’s list both lean on Nvidia’s Blackwell-series RTX 50 GPUs, and neither comes cheap. Corsair’s Vengeance i7500, the priciest model in the roundup at $3,299.99 after a $700.00 cut from $3,999.99, pairs an Intel Core i9-14900KF with a GeForce RTX 5080, 32GB of RAM, and a 2TB SSD. The case carries a Nautilus ARGB liquid CPU cooler and wraparound tempered glass panels, with the 11% price drop a smaller percentage cut than the business tower deals above.
Asus’s ROG GR70 mini gaming tower is the more compact play at $2,499.00, a $333.62 cut that PCMag says works out to 7% off. The AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX and RTX 5070 combo is rated for “rock-solid 1440p gameplay at high frame rates,” with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 out of the box. The custom cooling system was found “whisper-quiet even under heavy stress” in PCMag’s review of the similar ROG NUC 970. The 7% price drop on the GR70 is the second-smallest percentage cut in PCMag’s 11-deal list, behind only the iMac M4 at 6%.
All-in-Ones Sit at a Smaller Discount
All-in-one desktops are sold as family machines, with the screen, speakers, and camera all in one chassis. PCMag’s three picks in this category sit between $899.99 and $1,349.99 after discounts, and each takes a different approach to the form factor.
Lenovo’s IdeaCentre 27 All-in-One is the lowest-priced option at $899.99, down $499.01 from a $1,399.00 list price. The 27-inch FHD display, Intel Core i7-13620H CPU, 8GB of RAM, and 512GB SSD make it a streaming-first machine. PCMag’s review noted a “bevy of easily accessible ports and a comfortable wireless keyboard” while flagging screen brightness as a weak point. Dell’s 27 All-in-One costs $1,349.99 after a $320.59 cut from $1,670.58, a 19% trim, and ships with 32GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD alongside a 5MP IR camera for video calls.
Apple’s iMac M4 anchors the high end of the all-in-one group at $1,216.08 after a $82.92 cut from $1,299.00, a 6% discount that PCMag flags as the smallest percentage trim among the deals with a stated percentage. Brian Westover, who reviewed the iMac M4 for PCMag, called it “the smartest iMac yet,” citing its 12-megapixel camera, macOS functionality, and Apple Intelligence features. The 6% discount applies to both the pink-hued and blue-hued iMac M4 models, per PCMag’s coverage.
The three AIO discounts run from 6% to 19%, narrower than the 7% to 38% range among the towers. PCMag positions each of the three AIOs as a “family room, kitchen, office, or other area” desktop. The full lineup:
- Lenovo IdeaCentre 27 AIO: $899.99, $499.01 off
- Dell 27 AIO: $1,349.99, 19% off
- Apple iMac M4: $1,216.08, 6% off
How Mini PCs Compare to the Towers
Mini PCs are the smallest form factor in the roundup, and they also carry the smallest prices. Geekom’s A6 Mini drops to $524.07 after a $124.93 cut from $649.00, and PCMag gave the A6 an Editors’ Choice award, calling it “a no-nonsense mini PC that can handle a decent workload at a budget price.” The AMD Ryzen 7 6800H chip, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB SSD sit inside a chassis PCMag measured at 1.4 by 4.4 by 4.4 inches, small enough to carry in a bag, and the machine ships with a VESA mount for attaching it to a wall or desk.
MSI’s Cubi 5 Professional costs $749.00 after a $50.00 cut from $799.00, a trim PCMag described as “nothing to sneeze at.” The Intel Core i5-1235U, 32GB of RAM, and 1TB SSD loadout is “significantly better than the one we reviewed” in 2023, per PCMag, with support for 4K output at up to 60Hz. The compact chassis makes it a fit as a dedicated streaming PC hooked to a TV, the same use case PCMag’s 2023 review highlighted. The $50 cut is the smallest absolute dollar savings across all 11 picks.
The mini PCs cover productivity and streaming workloads, and the gaming towers above pair RTX 50-series GPUs with high-end CPUs for heavier compute. Both mini PCs split the AMD-versus-Intel divide seen across the rest of the roundup, with the Geekom A6 on AMD’s Ryzen 7 platform and the MSI Cubi 5 on Intel’s Core i5.
When Prime Day 2026 Closes
Amazon’s Prime Day 2026 runs through June 26, and the four-day window is also Prime Day’s first June event in five years. Walmart’s competing Walmart Deals 2026 sale opened a day early on June 22, running alongside Amazon’s event. The Prime Day event hub covers the broader sale across categories through the close.
PCMag frames each of the 11 picks as the “year’s best discount” available right now, and the Dell 27 All-in-One listing warns that the “Prime Day price won’t last much longer.” The full list of 11 deals is on the Prime Day desktop discounts page, with seven additional desktop discounts included at the bottom of the roundup, and the running desktop deals hub sits alongside it.
