First Amazon price drops on the new M4 Mac mini now live, but you might be better off at Best Buy

Amazon/From $580

We aren’t talking about massive price drops here, and nothing quite as good as the elevated trade-in values we featured at Best Buy, but Amazon has shaved the MSRP on Apple’s new M4 Mac mini ahead of release this week. If you have gear to trade-in for the new mini, or are a paid My Best Buy member, the deals at Best Buy are definitely better, however Amazon is otherwise offering the lowest prices we have tracked for everyone else thus far, outside of the Apple EDU offers of course. The details are waiting down below.

Amazon M4 Mac mini deals:

• M4 Mac mini 10-core 16GB RAM/256GB SSD $580 (Reg. $599)
• M4 Mac mini 10-core 16GB RAM/512GB SSD $770 (Reg. $799)

Again, these are by no means massive price drops – you can certainly get a better price with the EDU offers from Apple or at Best Buy with a paid membership. But if you aren’t eligible for those offers, or perhaps have some Amazon store credit/gift cards in the holster, these are the best straight up cash discounts anyone can take advantage of. 

We have detailed how to score the best possible trade-in values with various pieces of gear at Best Buy right here. And you’ll find a reminder on how the discounts break down across each configuration for My Best Buy Plus and Total members below:

• New M4 Mac mini 16GB/256GB $549 (Reg. $599)
• New M4 Mac mini 16GB/512GB $749 (Reg. $799)
• New M4 Mac mini 24GB/512GB $949 (Reg. $999)
• New M4 Pro Mac mini 24GB/512GB $1,349 (Reg. $1,399)

The new Mac mini, just like the rest of the Mac lineup, now comes stock with 16GB of RAM packed inside the completely redesigned form-factor – it measures out at roughly 5-inches by 5-inches, but is taller than the previous model. As detailed in our launch coverage, it comes with either the M4 or M4 Pro chip alongside 120Gb/s data transfer speeds over the new Thunderbolt 5 ports (front-facing USB-C ports, a headphone jack, and HDMI out, and Gigabit Ethernet). But everything you need to know about the new M4-powered Mac mini is waiting for you right here at 9to5Mac.
