This week's best mini PC deals are here - and while not as many as we saw during the back-to-school season, I'm still spotting a number of discounts on some of the top-performing machines my team and I have tested, especially those mini PCs under $600 ideal for office and student use.

My team and I have tested over 100 of these compact machines from GMKtec, Geekom, Minisforum, Beelink, and Asus. And you'll find the biggest savings on our top-performing models here, including some of the best mini PCs to have undergone our review process.

Across the deals, you'll also see links to our full reviews, where we benchmark each mini PC and test real-world performance across office workloads, video editing, and gaming, with many featured in our guide to the best mini PCs to undergo our review process.

Recent updates

Editor's note - September 15. A mixed bag of deals this week, and I suspect many like Geekom are keeping their powder dry for Black Friday and Amazon's upcoiming October sale. Still, there are some discounts on some of my favorite performers.
