It came and went quite quickly over this past weekend, but Amazon has now brought back its all-time low pricing on the base model M4 Mac mini at $499 shipped. Now joining the all-time low pricing on the upgraded M4 Pro Mac mini at $200 off the list price, Amazon is now once again offering a straight up $100 price drop on the base M4 model to a mark return of the lowest price we have tracked there.
We have seen this model with 16GB of RAM and the 256GB internal SSD down at $529 a number of times now, but a straight up $100 price drop has been much harder to come by since its official release last fall. We are, in fact, seeing $100 drops on all three of the stock M4 mini configurations at the moment, right up to the 24GB/512GB setup, alongside the aforementioned M4 Pro model with 24GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. Pricing breaks down as follows:
- M4 Mac mini 16GB/256GB $499 (Reg. $599)
- M4 Mac mini 16GB/512GB $699 (Reg. $799)
- M4 Mac mini 24GB/512GB $899 (Reg. $999)
- M4 Pro Mac mini 24GB/512GB $1,199 (Reg. $1,399)
I am seriously considering the M4 Pro mini at this point, and especially with a $200 discount, but as we have discussed previously, the real selling point of the lineup for many is the ultra-affordable price tag (as far as current Apple standard go anyway) on the base models.
Most folks can probably make do just fine with the M4 chip and at $499, we are talking about the most affordable point of entry into the current-generation Mac lineup here. After Apple doubled down on its base model RAM game from the underwhelming 8GB up to 16GB last fall, these entry-level configurations have become even more enticing and you can now land one back down at the Amazon all-time low as part of the retailer’s ongoing Big Spring Sale.
