President's Day deals have already kicked off at most major retailers, and we're seeing PC prices drop to new lows in 2026. Not only are there plenty of laptops and desktops on sale, but there are also some great deals on mini PCs.
The mini PC market has exploded (in a good way) in the past year, opening up so many more options for users who want a compact device with desktop power. Lenovo's IdeaCentre Mini x, which we tested and reviewed favorably, is now down to $899 at Lenovo from the regular $1,364 price ($-465).
Why we love Lenovo's first Snapdragon-powered mini PC
Windows Central Senior Editor Zac Bowden reviewed the Lenovo IdeaCentre Mini x and came away overall impressed with its abilities. He gave it 4.5/5 stars and a Best Award, noting:
"It has enough ports to go around, and the ability to upgrade things like storage or Wi-Fi card down the line is also an extra nicety you don't always see on these kinds of PCs, so I'm glad Lenovo put in the extra effort to make that possible. The included stand is also a nice touch."
The slim PC boasts a ton of ports, including USB-A and USB-C on the front, with USB4, Ethernet, HDMI, DisplayPort, and USB-A on the back. Wi-Fi 7 is as good as it gets for wireless internet, and Bluetooth 5.2 will have no trouble connecting your wireless accessories. Despite its size, you won't likely be hard up when it comes to connectivity.
The PC is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Plus (X1P-64) System-on-Chip (SoC) with integrated Adreno graphics and Hexagon Neural Processing Unit (NPU). Thanks to the NPU, this PC makes the cut for Copilot+ AI tools in Windows 11. Even if you don't use the AI stuff, this chip is plenty snappy and will perform well with home or small office tasks like web browsing, word processing, homework, spreadsheets, etc.
Its multitasking capabilities are amplified thanks to a generous 32GB of LPDDR5x RAM. The 512GB SSD inside might not be enough for your needs, but thankfully, Lenovo makes it relatively easy to upgrade it yourself after purchase.
Lenovo usually asks about $1,364.99 for this model, but during President's Day, it's been discounted by 34%. That drops the price to just $899.99 at Lenovo for a limited time.
FAQ

I would not buy the IdeaCentre Mini x if you're in search of a dedicated gaming PC. It will hander lighter titles, but don't expect the integrated graphics to compete with an actual gaming PC with a discrete GPU.

Presidents' Day is Monday, February 16, 2026, the third Monday of the month.

President's Day sales have already started. I'm seeing plenty of major retailers hosting promotions through President's Day weekend.
When does this deal end?
Lenovo doesn't specify exactly when this mini PC will end. If you are interested, I recommend picking it up this weekend before it rotates off of its Doorbuster sale status.
