Most affordable Mac deals for Prime Day: M4 MacBook Air at $849 or M4 Mac mini from $499 (Up to $150 off)

$150 off/From $499

Let’s take a look at the most affordable current-generation Mac deals live for Prime Day 2025. While we are still seeing $150 price drops across the M4 MacBook Air lineup, we are also still waiting to see if Amazon drops them any lower – this is the same deal we have seen over the last couple weeks. That said, one of the highlight Mac deals for Prime Day this year is the 24GB Mac mini. The latest M4 models are now up to $140 off to deliver some of the lowest prices we have tracked on what is, at least for me, one of the best values in the current-generation Mac lineup. 

While it’s hard to deny how great the M4 MacBook Air is considering you can land one right now at $849 shipped from the usual $999 list price. But you’re going to have to fork over $1,249 right now to land one with 24GB of RAM. 

Obviously you can’t truly compare a completely portable MacBook to a headless Mac, but if we are just talking about value for horsepower, the 24GB M4 Mac mini models starting at $889 for Prime Day deliver a ton of it. 

• M4 Mac mini 16GB/256GB $499 (Reg. $599)
• M4 Mac mini 24GB/512GB $890 (Reg. $999)
• M4 Pro Mac mini 24GB/512GB $1,259 (Reg. $1,399)

Now, as we featured yesterday, you can score the base model 16GB Mac mini right down at just $499 shipped. It, however, features less RAM and only half the storage capacity as the models highlighted above. This might very well be more than enough for your needs – it typically is for me, but if you’re looking to get into some creative projects, say on Logic Pro or Final Cut, the 24GB of RAM can be a lifesaver in my experience.

Either way the deals are flying and you’ll find the current discounted prices one the M4 MacBook Air below:
