Even though Presidents Day deals have now come to an end, we’re coming across plenty of superb offers in the tech space. For instance, the Apple Mac Mini M4 has received an unexpected fall in price — considering it’s only been on the market since November — with Amazon now reducing the desktop to $549. This is a $50 savings that takes the PC close to its record low of $529.
This is an easy recommendation as the Mac Mini is found on CNET’s best desktop computers with the model being our go-to for the best cheap desktop alternative to a MacBook or iMac. The 2024 PC comes with a 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU, 16GB of unified memory as well a 256GB solid-state drive for storage.
Need more storage? The 512GB model is down to $719. That’s a 10% price cut representing a saving of $80 — and again is only $20 away from the cheapest cost we’ve ever seen at Amazon. Better yet, the 512GB model with 24GB unified memory is now at its lowest-ever price of $919, thanks to an $80 discount. There are plenty of options to suit your needs.

“The Mini can fit in your hand and be everything from an everyday home office computer to a full-on professional content-creation machine — and an easily portable one at that — with support for up to three 6K-resolution displays,” wrote CNET managing editor Joshua Goldman in their review.
“True, there’s a sizable price difference between the M4 and M4 Pro Mac Mini, but even the $799 M4 model I tested is strong enough for media creation as well as Apple Intelligence, the company’s suite of AI features.”

While $50 doesn’t seem like a lot on the surface, the new computer just launched in November last year, so it’s a nice savings if you want an upgrade.
