There aren't loads of mini PCs that can handle both work and play. But for the price, this is one of my favorites currently discounted in the Amazon Spring Sale. The Minisforum UM870 Slim was $579 now $463 at Amazon.

Ok, you might need to turn down a few settings for optimal performance, but with a AMD Ryzen 7 8745H chip, Radeon 780M graphics, 32GB RAM, it'll more capably run games as easily as office apps and productivity tasks.

Check out the deal below, alongside some alternatives I've found that absolutely don't come in at under $500. I've added even more to my round-up of the best Spring Sale mini PC deals based on testing the best mini PCs and our extensive catalogue of reviews.
