Today is the first day you can freely purchase the new Mac mini without pre-ordering, and it’s also the first time we’ve seen a real discount on Apple’s small PC. Amazon is selling the base model with 256GB of storage for $550 or the model with 512GB for $749, a savings of $50 on either model. Both now also come with 16GB of RAM.
We’ve already reviewed the new Mac mini and found that it’s super small and quiet, offers a decent selection of ports, and delivers great performance with the fast M4 chip. We liked the little Mac so much that we gave it a 4-star rating. Our only criticism, besides the lack of a single USB-A port, is the price of Apple’s upgrades, which cost $200 more for double the storage (256GB to 512GB). At least with this Amazon instant discount you save $50 off this price.
The main thing about the M4 Mac mini is its incredibly small size. As we wrote: “Apple told us the new Mac mini was smaller. He shows us photos and videos. And yet, when I took it out of the box, I was completely unprepared for its small size,” we wrote. So how big is it? Well, it measures just 5×5 inches square and 2 inches tall, just a bit bigger than the Apple TV and ready to fit in your palm.
So buy the 256GB Mac mini for $550 or the 512GB Mac Mini M4 for $749 and save $50 on the smallest Mac Apple has ever made.
