Early Black Friday mini PC deals 2025: Enjoy big savings on tiny computers before the main sales kick off
These are the best early Black Friday deals on mini PCs right now
The official Black Friday sales begin on November 28, but there’s no need to wait because some excellent early offers are already available. I’ve already seen impressive discounts from Apple, Beelink, and Minisforum. Geekom is not only offering extra discounts but giving away a free wireless keyboard and mouse with some models.
At the front of the pack is the Apple Mac M4, currently priced at $499 (previously $599) on Amazon.com and £529 (previously £599) on Amazon.co.uk. If you’re thinking about picking one up, it’s best to move quickly, since prices often rise again in the weeks before Black Friday and stock tends to disappear fast.
I’ve been following Black Friday mini PC deals for years, and this season consistently brings some of the strongest opportunities to grab a capable compact system at a meaningful discount. We’re already noticing some significant price cuts. Because we’ve tested and reviewed many of the leading mini PCs, I’ll be highlighting the deals on models we know well, explaining how they perform, what stands out about them, and which ones may not be worth your money.
What's new? We're a matter of weeks away from the Black Friday sales, but why wait? I've found some unmissable mini PC deals you can get right now.

This is a decent deal, with the mini PC loaded with Ryzen 5 3550H chip, 16GB RAM, and 512GB SSD.

This beast of a mini PC is absolutely packed with top specs, including the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS chip, a bountiful 64GB RAM, 1TB SSD, and AMD Radeon 780M graphics card. Support for four 4K displays is a nice touch, too. In reviews, my team and I have had plenty of good experiences with Minisforum mini PCs, with several featuring in my guide to the best of the best.

I couldn’t find a more affordable new Mini PC worth buying (i.e. with an Intel N95 CPU or better). The DreamFyre DR06 may cost just £110 but it still comes with 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD (rather than slower eMMC). I commend Dreamfyre’s decision to use Windows 11 Pro and include not one but two Gigabit Ethernet ports. Other notable features include three HDMI ports and three USB connectors; it doesn’t have Type-C connectors - which is a disappointment but at this price point, there’s nothing remotely competitive. Apply the voucher on the page to get the discount.

The E2 mini PC from Bosgame runs the Ryzen 5 3550H paired with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD storage. I'd use this one for offices and home offices, especially since it supports triple monitor set-ups and a good port selection beyond that. Now at the same price as it was for last year's Black Friday. Apply the voucher to get the discount.

This device comes with an AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS, the most powerful CPU I’ve seen in this price range by far. Its Radeon 780M gPU is almost as fast as a dedicated Geforce GTX 1050. I can’t fault it except perhaps for having only 16GB of RAM. Elsewhere there’s a 512GB SSD, Wi-Fi 6 and Windows 11 Pro. I would gladly swap the RGB lights for extra ports though: only two HDMI ones are on offer.

We found the A8 mini PC from Geekom to be an impressive performer during our review. This deal is for the model with Ryzen 7 8745HS CPU, 32GB RAM, and 1TB SSD storage. A version sporting the Ryzen 9 8945HS and with 2TB SSD is also discounted on the same page for £779 (was £899).

The Geekom GT1 Mega mini PC comes highly recommended - that's the stamp of approval we gave it after extensive testing (see the review here). It's an admittedly high price, but you get the specs to go with it. That includes an Intel Core Ultra 9 185H processor, up to 64GB RAM, a max of 2TB storage, and Intel Arc Graphics with ray-tracing support. To get the cheapest price use coupon code HAPMega.

Another mini PC deal from Geekom, the XT12 Pro is a superb machine that will easily handle a range of business and creative tasks (read our review here to find out more). This unit comes loaded with either a 12-generation Intel i7 or i9 chip, up to 64GB RAM, and also supports four 4K displays - as an irrepressible multi-tasker, the more the merrier as far as I'm concerned. Use coupon code HAPD15.
Black Friday mini PC deals: Frequently asked questions
When does Black Friday start and when does it end?
Black Friday 2025 officially starts on November 28, and continues through to Cyber Monday on December 1.
However, expect early deals and retailers choosing to start their sales earlier. Best Buy, for instance, began its Black Friday sales on October 31.
For the latest deals, bookmark this page - I'll be regularly updating with the best deals on mini PCs right through until December.
How do I choose the right Black Friday mini PC deal?
There's so many different mini PC configurations and specs, it can be tricky to figure out which one is right for your use.
If you're looking at Apple's mini PC, opt for a machine like the Apple Mac mini M4 - alongside productivity tasks, we found it excellent at photo and video editing.
If it's a Windows mini PC, it can be useful to get one that can be upgraded. If you can get a better processor or more RAM, it's worth the investment for seamless performance. But these are the minimum specs I recommend looking for.
Component | Minimum for business | Minimum for creators | Minimum for gamers |
|---|---|---|---|
CPU | Intel Core i5 or AMD Ryzen 5 U-series | Intel Core i7, AMD Ryzen 7 H-series, Apple M4 | Intel Core i7 or AMD Ryzen 7 H-series |
GPU | Integrated graphics | Nvidia RTX 4060 (if integrated, check it supports eGPU) / not applicable for Mac mini | Nvidia RTX 4060 (if integrated, check it supports eGPU) |
RAM | 16GB | 32GB / 16GB (M4 only) | 16GB |
SSD | 512GB | 1TB | 1TB |
U-series and H-series - what's the difference?
When looking at mini PC deals over Black Friday and Cyber Monday, you'll come across processors appended with either a U or a H (or HX or HS). What does this mean for you?
U stands for Ultra-low-power. These processors are tailored to efficiency and best-suited for business use like opening office apps and browsing.
H stands for High Performance. These CPUs are designed for long-term tasks without throttling performance, and are ideal for tasks like video editing and gaming.
HS (High Performance Slim) chips run at a lower wattage than H-series chips, but still deliver similar performance and efficiency. I think of them as the middle-ground between U- and H-series processors.
HX (High Performance Extreme) is the absolute best for performance, and are best for professional-grade creative workloads and higher-end gaming.
Do I need a graphics card?
If you're a business user, you're unlikely to need a discrete (or dedicated) graphics card. It adds to the expense and it's not required for running office software.
If you're a content creator or gamer, you'll definitely want a graphics card. The trouble is, most mini PCs have integrated graphics like the Iris Xe or Radeon 780M, although some will have laptop-style GPUs.
If you do need a graphics card for your workflow, check that the mini PC has an OCuLink port that lets you add an external GPU (sometimes referred to as an eGPU). Where that's an option, I'll include it in the mini PC deal box above.
Is Black Friday and Cyber Monday a good time to buy a mini pc?
Absolutely - after covering Black Friday sales for years now, I see plenty of big price-drops on mini PCs across the board, from budget models to high-specced machines in the run up and throughout the cyber sales event.
Which mini PC deal should I choose over Black Friday and Cyber Monday?
If you're opting for an Apple device, the Mac mini with the M4 processor is usually discounted for Black Friday. While you may see older models like the Mac mini M2 on sale, I'd recommend choosing any M4 configuration. Performance is better, it's twice as fast, and superior in just about every way.
For Windows mini PCs, there's typically a wide choice available over the sales event, from budget models that are best-suited for office tasks to high-performance machines with top-end specs that are suitable for productivity tasks, content creation, and gaming. I see so many different configurations, you're really limited only by your budget.
