You can once again score the M4 Mac mini at under $495 (Reg. $599)

Reg. $599/$495

While the previous all-time low on Apple’s most affordable M4 Mac mini didn’t last all that long down at $491, after popping back up price Amazon is now once again offering a deal nearly as good. You’ll now find the base-model M4 Mac mini with the 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD down at $494.92 shipped, or within $4 of the best price ever online. 

Again, we did just see this model down at just shy of $492 on Amazon a couple days ago. Today’s deal is, however, awfully close to that and if you missed out on the $492 deal, you’re basically getting another chance at it here. 

Previous to this week, the base model and most affordable M4 Mac mini had never dropped below $499 at Amazon since its debut back in October of 2024. Carrying a regular price and entering Apple’s lineup as the most affordable point of entry to the current-generation Mac ecosystem, it was already quite a popular and value-packed option among consumers before you even factored in the deals that hit thereafter. 

All things considered we have only ever tracked this machine dropping below $529 a small handful of times before this week – I’d say landing one at $499 is a steal and today’s deal drops things even lower to deliver the second-best price we have ever tracked online at within $4 of the short-lived low. 

Much like last go around, it quickly jumped back up over $500, so you’ll want to seriously consider this offer while you still can if a new M4 Mac mini is in the cards.
