Apple’s Mac mini M4 is up to $110 off right now

The Apple Mac mini M4 desktop computer is on sale via Amazon right now. This brings the price of the entry-level version, with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, down to $499. The model with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage is down to $689, which is a discount of $110. You can also pick up one with 24GB of RAM for $904.

This is the model that came out at the tail-end of 2024 and represented the first major redesign of the product in ten years. We reviewed a version of this computer and called it “shockingly small” and “incredibly powerful.” It truly is teensy, resembling an Apple TV streaming box more than a desktop computer. All told, it’s five-inches by five-inches across and two inches tall.

There are two front-facing USB-C ports, which is extremely handy. The back of the computer boasts even more ports, including Thunderbolt, HDMI and Ethernet. As indicated by the name, this thing features the speedy M4 chip. The processor can easily handle garden variety computing tasks, like watching content, but also excels with creative pursuits like making music and editing videos.

This desktop doesn’t include an SD card reader, which could be a dealbreaker for those looking for an easy way to add more storage. We also found that the fan got loud every once in a while when dealing with heavy workloads. Otherwise, this is a near-perfect (and adorable) computer.
