We’re past the savings bonanza of Amazon Prime Day, but producers of desktop computers always seem motivated to move one type of tower or another. As such, there are still plenty of deals on the market if you’re willing to be flexible on brand or appearance—but you definitely don’t have to sacrifice performance. Desktop computers offer more flexibility than ever before, from all-in-one machines (like the Apple iMac) that keep your desktop space fairly free, to smaller and cooler towers that can sit on a bookshelf or in a drawer.
Even if you’ve been a laptop devotee for years, a new desktop could be the thing for you. From mini-PCs to massively powerful gaming rigs, we’ve pulled together the best desktop computer deals we can find.
