If you’ve been holding off upgrading your desktop because you thought you’d need to carve out half your desk, think again. As of Aug. 8, the 2024 Apple Mac mini with the blisteringly quick M4 chip is on offer at Amazon, down $50 from its standard price. That’s an 8% saving on one of Apple’s smallest and mightiest machines.
At just five inches square, the Mac mini is small enough to disappear into your setup, yet it’s hiding some serious performance under that sleek, understated exterior. The 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU inside the M4 chip promise to make everyday tasks feel instantaneous and give creative apps like Adobe Photoshop or Final Cut Pro the smooth, snappy performance you’d expect from a top-tier Mac. With 16GB of unified memory and a 256GB SSD, you get ample speed for multitasking and plenty of storage for your essential files.
Apple promises this is the most connected Mac mini yet. Alongside Thunderbolt, HDMI, and Gigabit Ethernet ports on the back, you’ll find front-facing USB-C ports and a headphone jack for quick plug-and-play convenience.
Whether you’re attaching external drives, high-resolution displays, or just popping in headphones for a video call, it’s all within easy reach. Naturally, this makes it play beautifully within the Apple ecosystem. You can mirror your iPhone screen, pick up FaceTime calls, send messages, or copy text from your phone and paste it straight into a Mac document.
And because it’s built for Apple Intelligence, it’s ready for the next generation of personal AI tools, with privacy protections baked in from the ground up.
The Mac mini’s blend of size, power, and price makes it a seriously appealing option for both work and play.
