Apple’s 24GB M4 Mac mini hits Amazon low pricing at $872 (Reg. $999), M4 Pro best price ever, more from $495

Reg. $999/From $495

Update: Amazon has now dropped the M4 Pro Mac mini 24GB/512GB down to a new all-time low at $1,196.31 – this is nearly $4 under the previous best price we have ever tracked at Amazon (Reg. $1,299). The base model Mac mini has also dropped back down to $494.92 shipped.

While the sub $499 deal price on the entry-level 16GB/256GB M4 Mac mini has now jumped up a few bucks, today Amazon is bringing back its extremely short-lived best price ever on the upgraded model with 24GB of RAM and the 512GB SSD. Regularly $999, you can now score this M4 Mac mini configuration down at $872.05 shipped. 

For many folks, and understandably so, the main selling point on the M4 Mac mini is the price – you can score a brand-new, current-generation Mac for $599, and often times less than that ($506 right now on Amazon). It delivers some serious value when it comes to setting up an at-home Mac workstation, but for some the entry-level specs just don’t cut it, and that’s where today’s deal comes in. 

Wherever you sit on the spec spectrum, I think we can all agree that Apple upping its base models to 16GB of RAM was long overdue and welcomed. It also means the pricing on upgraded models are effectively lower. 

For me 16GB of RAM is generally enough, but I am more regularly starting to looking towards the 24GB setups. The 256GB of storage is starting to feel woefully underwhelming though – even though you can just stick a portable SSD into the mix, so the 24GB/512GB M4 Mac mini config is an enticing one. It is still a few hundreds bucks less than the M4 Pro Mac mini and now approaching the price of the most affordable M4 MacBook Air – not really a great comparison there considering this is not a laptop, but we are looking at the more affordable end of the current Mac lineup here. 

Here’s how the pricing shakes out across the M4 Mac mini lineup today – things have been fluctuating daily this week, but the two most powerful models in the list below have now dropped down even lower:
