For most people, the Acemagic Kron Mini K1 for $429 (was $499) at Amazon is the ideal compact desktop PC upgrade. It features an AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS processor, paired with 24GB LPDDR5 memory, and 512GB SSD. As far as all-rounders go that you can set-up and run, this is my top pick.

If you're prepared to upgrade your own machine, though, the barebones GMKtec K8 Plus for $300 (was $620) via GMKtec , is pretty unbeatable thanks to the equipped Ryzen 7 8845HS CPU. In this round-up, I've avoided anything less
than 16GB RAM and older generation chips like the R7 5825U that might look like a good deal at first, but won't deliver value over the long-term. Top Ryzen 7 mini PC deals under $500 Save $70 Acemagician Kron Mini K1: was $499 now $429 at Amazon Ryzen 7 7735HS | 24GB LPDDR5 | 512GB SSD

A solid Ryzen 7 mini PC that will tick most boxes for most people looking for a sub-$500 machine. Soldered RAM might be a sticking point for some, though. Read more Read less View Deal Save $150.01 GMKtec M5 Ultra : was $569.99 now $419.98 at Amazon Ryzen 7 7730U | 16GB DDR4 | 1TB SSD

Specs might not be completely top-end here (the 7730U is built on the older Zen 3 architecture and DDR4 memory is slower than DDR5). But it offers plenty of scope for upgrading. In our review , we called it "a quiet, highly
flexible option for a general-use PC." Read more Read less View Deal Save $61.02 Acemagic M1: was $551 now $489.98 at Amazon Ryzen 7 7735HS | 24GB LPDDR5 | 1TB SSD

This is a great deal. Memory is soldered, so no upgrading there, but it's relatively future-proofed anyway thanks to the high-performance chip, decent RAM, and high storage capacity.
