Cyber Monday is your last chance to get the year's best prices on hot goods like desktop PCs. With prices into the four figures, every penny counts, and these discounts make them much more attainable. With tons of different models on the market, we've picked out the best options on sale, so you'll find more than a few Editors' Choice winners on sale.
Desktop PCs are the mark of the true tech-head: devoting desk space in your home to a permanent computer means serious business, and you can use them for gaming, productivity, content creation, and much more. While the desktop market has been shrinking over the last few decades as laptops and tablets become more prevalent, there are still very worthwhile models on the market. Here are the best discounts on popular desktops from HP, Apple, Dell, and other top brands.
HP Desktop Computer Deal
We're still waiting on a full review of HP's new OmniDesk line of towers, but we did get some quality time with them at CES this year, and walked away very impressed. The stylish desktop has a woodgrain-look front panel that makes it stand out, and technological improvements include compact, efficient construction with good airflow, along with a ton of accessible front-facing ports. This is a totally capable home productivity desktop that'll serve the whole family, and a Cyber Monday price drop of 43% is massive.
Dell Desktop Computer Deals
For unexplained reasons, Dell has done a company-wide renaming of many of their products in the last few months. This "Dell Tower Plus" is the same machine as the Dell XPS desktop we reviewed here. This price gets you a solid midrange tower with an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor, integrated Intel graphics, 32GB of RAM for multitasking seamlessly, and a 1TB drive. Dell has discounts on a bunch of different configurations all the way up to a Core Ultra 9 285K with a whopping 64GB of RAM, 4TB of storage, and a new 50-series Nvidia GPU, so there's a lot of flexibility to be found in this deal.
Dell also makes a wide range of gaming hardware, with their Alienware line of the world's best-known PC brands. The Area 51 is their high-end designation, and in our review of the 2025 Alienware Area-51, we loved its awesome redesign with a metal front panel and easy-access tempered glass side panel letting you fiddle with your components to your heart's content. You get a solid Blackwell-series Nvidia 5070 Ti graphics card, plenty of RAM and storage, and a fast Core Ultra 7 processor to round it out. Throw in a clever and efficient positive-pressure cooling system and you've got a great desktop at a great price.
Apple Desktop Computer Deals
The Apple iMac has been a trendsetter in all-in-one computers for decades, and each generation has seen welcome tweaks to the design. Apple's latest model not only adds some subtle but welcome color accents, but also incorporates the new M4 processor for some of the best performance we've seen. In our review, we gave this model an Editors' Choice award, praising its big, crisp Liquid Retina display that's leaps and bounds above any other AIO desktop in this price range, along with added iPhone mirroring and Apple Intelligence features that make it a pleasure to use. A $150 Cyber Monday discount makes it even more delicious.
Apple's Mac Mini is, by far, the best small-form-factor desktop on the market, earning an Editors' Choice award from us in our review. The pint-sized PC is barely the size of a CD case and runs on the seriously optimized M4 processor for ultra-smooth performance on creative and productivity apps. The storage loadout is a bit low, but plenty of well-placed ports means hooking up an external drive is a breeze. This is the most affordable base model, with just 16GB of RAM, but a $120 price drop on Amazon makes it an absolute steal.
Geekom Desktop Computer Deal
Want a compact desktop of the Windows (or Linux) variety? In our listing of the best mini PCs, we said that the Geekom A6 was the best one you could get on a budget, praising the excellent productivity performance and wide array of ports they managed to fit in a tiny footprint. We loved its light weight, simple setup, and good heat management, but noted that the internal fan can get loud if you really push it. You can read our full review for a nuts-and-bolts teardown of this Editors' Choice-winning machine.
Lenovo Desktop Computer Deals
We don't have a review of the sixth-generation ThinkCentre M90a all-in-one, but we did put the fifth-generation one through its paces, and in our extensive review we gave it an Editors' Choice award and praised its impressive performance, bright and crisp screen, lots of different stand options and settings, and the ability to use it as an independent monitor for another desktop. Lenovo consistently impresses us with its top-tier build quality, and being able to snag a 24% price drop on this capable unit on Cyber Monday is a great deal.
