Amazon has dropped “the best Mac ever” down to a terrific low price of $499

Let’s cut to the chase. For a limited time only, you can snap up the incredible Apple Mac mini (M4) at Amazon for $499 (was $599). At only $30 more than its record-low price, this is still a seriously juicy discount on one of the most powerful mini PCs around.

The Apple Mac mini is one of those devices that gets nowhere near as much airtime as it deserves to. Considering it delivers on almost every front, including performance and price, it really deserves more credit. This deal is for the 256GB model, although the 512GB alternative is also discounted if you need more storage.

Today’s best Mac mini deal

Thanks to the latest M4 chip, this Apple Mac mini is a powerful device that’s well-suited to everyday use, work, and light productivity tasks. Aside from performance, I also love its form factor. At only five inches square, it sits perfectly positioned on any desk without taking up too much room. This is the 256GB model, and with a $100 off, it’s an absolute steal.View Deal

Our Apple Mac mini (M4) review says it all. We’ve called it the “best Mac ever” and “the best small form factor PC”. So, there’s no denying that this is a five-star performer through and through.

We’d highly recommend the Mac mini to anyone wanting macOS at home. Given the price, it’s more affordable than the best MacBooks. It manages to combine power and affordability, happily gaining a place in our look at the best computers.

If we were being picky, then we’d say that the front USB-C ports could be faster and the power button placement is a little “awkward”. Minor criticism, though.

This version of the Mac mini has removable, modular storage compared to previous models’ soldered-on components. That means you can easily upgrade to 512GB if you need to at a later date.

Other options are available for this product type. We’ve done all the hard work of collating a list of the best mini PCs, which should minimize the research you need to do. You might also fancy looking at the latest MacBook Pro deals going on right now.
