This mini gaming PC with a Ryzen 9 CPU is on sale for under $500

Want a cool looking mini gaming PC for occasional sessions? This Acemagician mini gaming PC is the solution and it's $100 off at Amazon.

If you’re looking for gaming PC deals that are a little different from the crowd, you may wish to check out the offer that Amazon has right now. Today, you can buy the Acemagician Mini Gaming PC with a AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX processor and some other budget-friendly components for $449 instead of $549. The $100 saving works out at 18% off, so it’s pretty good value. If you just want a simple gaming PC to place next to your TV for casual gaming, it’ll work well. Here’s what it has to offer.

This gaming PC won’t compete with the very best gaming PCs. That isn’t really the point of the Acemagician Mini Gaming PC. Instead, it’s all about convenience. This is a gaming rig which is small enough to fit among your home cinema equipment to hook up to your TV or connect to one of the best gaming monitors for occasional play.

Its specs are suitably low-end given the price but still worth considering if you want to play older games or less demanding titles, such as cozy games like Stardew Valley or fun free-to-play content such as Fortnite. It has an AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX processor, 32GB of memory, 512GB of SSD storage, and AMD Radeon 680M graphics card. That’s not bad at all for the price, with the processor dodging the woes of the poor sales of the AMD Ryzen 9000 series.

Despite the low price, the Acemagician Mini Gaming PC still focuses on some key areas, like its 4800MHz memory providing some extra speed. It also has three different modes including a silent mode for quiet streaming, auto mode for medium work, or a performance mode for your gaming time. A high-efficiency cooling system with dual fans keeps things ticking along nicely.

The quirky looking design has room for some cool looking lights, along with USB 3.0 ports, HDMI 2.0, Gigabit Ethernet, and a USB-C socket too. It’s a pretty reliable all-rounder.

Usually priced at $549, the Acemagician Mini Gaming PC is down to $449 for a limited time only at Amazon. Suitable for anyone indulging in some light gaming at home, check it out now before the $100 saving ends very soon.

Did you think hitting delete on your AI chatbot conversation actually makes it disappear? Georgia Tech researchers just proved that's not entirely true. They have built a forensic tool called ORISA that can dig deleted conversations from your phone and even rebuild them into a working chatbot session you can keep talking to.

How can ORISA bring deleted AI conversations back?

Touchscreen laptops have been around for years. You can get them in all sizes and shapes. Just not from Apple. For years, the Cupertino giant has treated the idea of a touchscreen MacBook the way I treat a meeting that could have been an email: with open contempt. However, Wednesday looks like the day the company could finally change its mind. 

The latest Apple invite puts the “Pro and Tell” showcase in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) on October 28, 2026. Instead of a regular live-streamed keynote, it is an invitation-only, hands-on event for a handful of press and creators (similar to what the company did for the MacBook Neo earlier this year). 

Two residents of Chicago have filed a lawsuit in the US over claims that robots run by Coco Robotics and Serve Robotics captured their facial and hand measurements without consent, bringing renewed attention to the food delivery robots. The cases raise a troubling question: If a robot delivers food to your door, can it also be gathering sensitive information about you?

According to a report by The Associated Press, the proposed class-action lawsuits were filed in Cook County on Oct. 9 and allege violations of Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act. The complaints claim that the robots’ cameras and LiDAR sensors captured information on customers’ faces and hands as they approached the machines to pick up their orders. Both have denied the allegations.
