These days, if you don’t need the full power of a gaming desktop or the portability of a laptop, you have a better option that’s the best of both worlds: an affordable mini PC that still packs a lot of performance.

One example is the Acemagic AM08Pro, which has a Ryzen 9 processor for tons of processing power and responsiveness. Right now, this mini PC is on sale for $449 on Amazon — an exclusive deal for Prime members, but you can still score it if you don’t have Prime by signing up for a 30-day free trial. It’s worth considering for the savings!

This gaming-ready mini PC features an AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX CPU and a fantastic 32GB of DDR5 RAM. Should you feel the need for even more oomph, you can later upgrade it yourself to 64GB of total RAM. It also has 512GB of SSD storage, which can also be upgraded to a max of 2TB. It’s powerful enough out of the box, but also has lots of future potential.

This mini PC also comes with AMD Radeon 680M graphics, which might be integrated but remains enough for moderate gaming. It’s certainly enough to power a triple 4K60 setup, connected via two HDMI 2.0 ports and one USB-C with DisplayPort 1.4 support. (That USB-C port can also power a single 8K60 display, if you prefer that.)

Gamers will also enjoy the integrated RGB lighting that gives this mini PC a bit of personality. There are also three performance modes to pick from that will adjust power consumption based on your needs.

Frankly, this mini PC configuration is a beast for just $449, so take advantage of it while you can if you want a powerful home office workstation without shelling out a ton of cash.
