Mini PCs are a great fit for those with limited desk space. This small package fits a powerful Ryzen 7 processor and 32GB of RAM, making it suitable for anything from web surfing to graphic design, plus a number of ports make it easy to connect your peripheral devices. WFHers shouldn't miss out on this solid business workstation and definitely shouldn't forget code Y7ELOR2E for additional savings.
We often see the Acer Aspire TC on sale this time of year—which is good news for those who haven’t picked up what was called “the budget buy PC to beat.” It’s an excellent value even at retail, offering peppy performance and modern amenities like Wi-Fi 6E connectivity and dual HDMI ports. "Acer serves up a fine value with its Aspire TC-1780-UA92. Our Core i5 model is short on RAM, with just 8GB, but that can be remedied later, thanks to the desktop’s easy upgradability. The Aspire otherwise includes everything else we look for in a basic tower, like fast Wi-Fi, USB Type-C, a media card reader, and dual-monitor support," per our expert.
Alienware is a big name in the PC gaming industry, known for its unique design and powerful parts. The Aurora R14 isn’t the latest model, but this tower still packs plenty of punch with an RTX 3070 GPU and over a terabyte of storage for your extensive library. Those looking for a solid gaming rig should take a second look at this one.
