Heads up! Apple’s most affordable M4 Mac mini just hit the Amazon all-time low at $491 (Reg. $599)

All-time low/$491

Amazon isn’t playing around this morning with the Mac deals – it just dropped several M4/Pro MacBook Pro models to the best price ever and now’s the M4 Mac mini’s turn. Over this past weekend we saw some of the upgraded M4 Mac mini configs drop in price, but we just spotted the most affordable base model fall to $490.84 shipped– this is the lowest price we have ever tracked online. 

Apple’s M4 Mac mini lineup starts with the 16GB model that boasts a 256GB SSD and carries a list price at $599. It dropped to $514 yesterday but is now down even lower than that for the best we can find. 

Previous to today, the best deal we had ever tracked on Amazon for this configuration was $499, or $100 off the going rate. And considering how affordable (at least my Apple standards) this machine already was after getting the 16GB treatment, scoring one at $100 is no joke. But now, we are looking at over $108 in savings to deliver a new Amazon all-time low. 

You’ll find the updated pricing across the lineup down below – the 24GB/512GB model has now jumped up in price (we recommend waiting for a lower number on that one), but the most affordable variant and the M4 Pro are now at more than competitive lists. 

• M4 Mac mini 16GB/256GB $491 (Reg. $599)
• M4 Mac mini 16GB/512GB $743 (Reg. $799)
• M4 Mac mini 24GB/512GB $929 (Reg. $999)
• M4 Pro Mac mini 24GB/512GB $1,230 (Reg. $1,399)
