Deal | Lenovo's 0.65L mini PC drops to $699.99 ($300 off): Core Ultra 5, 16GB RAM, and 512GB SSD

The Lenovo Yoga Mini has received one of its biggest discounts at Best Buy. The Intel Panther Lake-powered mini PC is now available for $699.99, down from its $999.99 list price. That's a $300 discount, putting it just $20 above its lowest-ever price.

The Yoga Mini was unveiled at CES this year as a Windows alternative to the Mac mini. The base model normally costs $999.99 and comes with a Core Ultra 5 325, 16 GB of RAM, and 512 GB of storage. With this deal in play, the Yoga Mini is now even more affordable than the new HP OmniDesk Mini with a Core 5 315 Wildcat Lake processor. That said, Lenovo also offers the compact PC with the more powerful Core Ultra X7 358H, 32 GB RAM, and 1 TB storage, but it costs a steep $1,869.99.

The Core Ultra 5 325 is a fairly powerful mid-range chip with eight cores running at up to 4.5 GHz, along with a 50 TOPS NPU and 55 W maximum turbo power. However, it uses Intel Graphics instead of the more powerful Arc B390 iGPU found in the Core Ultra X7 358H. Still, it should handle everyday tasks comfortably and even run some AI tasks locally, thanks to its built-in NPU.

Lenovo has added a few useful extras as well. The mini PC has a compact cylindrical design with RGB underglow lighting. You also get a fingerprint scanner, built-in microphones, and Wi-Fi sensing that wakes the PC when you approach and dims the display when you step away. For connectivity, there are two Thunderbolt 4 ports, two USB-C ports, one USB-A port, and an HDMI 2.1 port.
