Apple’s latest Mac mini delivers some serious bang for your buck starting from $499, 512GB model at $110 off

$110 off/From $499

After a good run on of deals on the current-slate of M4 MacBook releases, most of the best deals have now jumped back up to full price or something much closer to it. The M4 Mac mini however, it is still rolling down at $499 shipped on Amazon to deliver some of the best bang for your buck in M4-equipped machines. 

If you ask me the base model 16GB M4 Mac mini at the full $599 list price is already a great buy. There’s a ton of Mac there for the price, but at $499 shipped, it’s a must for folks looking to set up a headless Mac rig. 

You could buy an iMac in the $1,200 range instead, but that’s nearly double the price and there are a ton of great-looking, almost Apple-looking, monitors you can grab out there for much less than the difference between the latest M4 AiO Mac and the M4 mini. You might even already have a mouse and keyboard laying around too. 

• M4 Mac mini 16GB/256GB $499 ($100 off)
• M4 Mac mini 16GB/512GB $689 ($110 off)

As you can see above, the base model deal at $499 is also still joined by a solid $110 price drop on the upgraded 512GB variant. You’ll still get the same RAM count and identical internals otherwise, but you can save a chunk of cash on the 2x storage model right now if you need it. I might argue a jump to the 24GB of RAM config warrants the up-spend even more so, but if you need the extra internal storage the 512GB is matching the Amazon all-time low right now.
