Deal Alert: Apple’s M4 Mac Mini Drops to Record Low Price

Apple’s recently released M4 Mac mini has reached a new record-low price point. You can purchase one for $529 through Amazon, which represents a 12 percent discount. This particular model comes with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. Other models are also available at discounted prices, including the 16GB/512GB version, now priced at $700, and the 24GB/512GB version, which will cost you $900, down from $1,000.

A Powerful and Compact Desktop

We previously described the M4 Mac mini as "shockingly small" and "incredibly powerful" in our official review. The device’s compact size and fast performance make it an excellent choice for various tasks. The smaller design allows for ample desk space, accommodating a monitor, mouse, and keyboard with ease.

Key Features and Specifications

• RAM and Storage: The base model features 16GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage, ensuring smooth performance for tasks like music production and light video editing.
• Ports and Connectivity: The Mac mini includes front-facing USB-C and headphone ports, along with additional connection options on the rear. However, it lacks an SD card reader, a feature found in many other small PCs.
• Cooling System: While the Mac mini is capable of handling heavy workloads, its fan can become quite loud during intense operations.

Buying Advice

For those interested in more demanding tasks like real-deal video editing, consider investing in a model with extra RAM or opting for the M4 Pro, although these are not currently on sale.
