Windows users searching for a budget-friendly alternative to Apple's Mac Mini should take note of Amazon's Back to School promotion. Prime members (though membership isn't required) can snag the newly released AceMagic Vista Mini V1 Intel N150 Mini PC for just $123.24 by applying promo code SLICKDLV1. This shockingly low price gets you a fully functional computer complete with processor, memory, storage, and operating system.

The AceMagic Vista lives up to its name with incredibly compact dimensions - just 4 inches square and 1.3 inches tall. While you won't be gaming on this petite powerhouse, its specs easily handle routine computing tasks. At its heart sits an energy-efficient Intel N150 processor (max turbo 3.6GHz) with four cores/threads and a mere 6W power draw - typical for entry-level Chromebooks and home servers. This mini marvel comes loaded with 16GB DDR4 RAM and a spacious 512GB M.2 SSD running Windows 11 Pro out of the box.

A word to the wise: Many tech enthusiasts recommend wiping the pre-installed OS and doing a clean Windows installation to remove potential bloatware (though you'll need to manually reinstall drivers afterward).

Connectivity won't disappoint either. The well-equipped chassis includes:

• Two USB 3.2 ports
• Two USB 2.0 ports
• HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.4 outputs
• 3.5mm audio jack
• Gigabit Ethernet
• Bluetooth and WiFi 5 (802.11ac)
