Apple’s most affordable current-gen Mac is $100 off for Prime Day – M4 Mac mini now at $499

$100 off/$499

As part of the now live Prime Big Deal Days sale, Amazon has now brought back the $100 price drop on Apple’s most affordable Mac – the M4 Mac mini with 16GB of RAM. Delivering some of, if not, the best value in a current-generation Mac, you can now land an M4 machine down at $499 shipped. 

While we aren’t seeing any fall Prime Day deals on the upgraded machines that are particularly noteworthy just yet, and we have seen the base model M4 Mac mini down at $499 a number of times, there’s no denying how much Mac you get for your money with this setup.

You’re looking at an already-affordable (at least by Apple standards) $599 M4 Mac here that is now marked down to $499 shipped to deliver $100 in savings. Again, we have seen this deal a number of times already, but if you’re looking for the most affordable point of entry into the current-gen Mac lineup, this is it.

I use one of these economic Mac mini machines myself and I have loved every second of it. If you’re looking to get some work done, browse the web, makes some beats on Logic, and well just about anything else short of editing a full feature film or something along those lines, just about all of the most affordable Mac mini configs can get the job done and for a whole lot less than any other Mac in the lineup. 

If you are, however, looking to go portable, the $200 price drops are now live on the M4 MacBook Air as well:
