Apple’s most affordable M4 Mac mini hits the best price of the year today at $529, more up to $100 off

While the deal we spotted on the upgraded 24GB model at $100 off over the weekend is still live this morning, Amazon has now dropped the prices even lower on the two more affordable M4 Mac mini configurations. Now both sitting at the best prices of the year, Amazon has the most affordable 16GB/256GB model sitting down at $529 shipped while the upgraded 16GB/512GB model has now dropped to $699 shipped

The entry-level model carries a regular price at $599 and the upgraded 512GB variant regularly goes for $799 – you’re looking at $70 and $100 in savings, respectively. We did see the base model drop to $500 once when Amazon matched a Costco member-only deal back in mid/late November, but today’s offer is the best otherwise and the 512GB at $100 off is matching the lowest we have tracked. 

Here’s how pricing breaks down across the M4 Mac mini lineup right now:

All three of the M4 models are now $10 and $20 under the previous mentions from last week, delivering the best prices of the year and a notable chance to upgrade to Apple’s most affordable current-generation Mac. Deals on the M4 Mac mini have become more rare over the last couple months, with the deals landing recently being the first chances to save since the holidays. 

As we mentioned previously, the M4 Mac mini has been one of the most popular new Apple releases around here, and for good reason – it’s an affordable point of entry into the Mac world (at least by Apple standards) that houses Cupertino’s latest M series chip and became even more enticing since Apple did away with he under-powered 8GB RAM setups, not to mention the upgraded Thunderbolt 5 ports.  

Just be sure to also scope out the new Satechi M4 Mac mini Stand & Hub with SSD Enclosure – it’s one of the better Mac mini accessories out there.
