Apple’s M4 Mac mini at $479 was one of the best bang for your buck Black Friday deals, and you can still score it

Still live/$120 off

While there is some notable holiday pricing popping up on Apple gear still, the particularly low Black Friday run has by and large come and gone…but not on the latest M4 Mac mini. You can indeed still land the most affordable model down at $479 shipped on Amazon – the same price we featured for Black Friday this year – and the 512GB upgraded model is dropping down a touch to make a special appearance ahead of the holidays as well today. 

The base model M4 Mac mini is, for many, where the real value is in the lineup. It is, after all, the most affordable current-gen Mac when it’s at full price, and you can still land it at $120 less than that – scoring a complete, brand new current-generation machine from Apple at $479 is a serious steal no matter who you ask really. 

And while the upgraded 16GB/512GB model isn’t dropping down quite as low as we featured for Black Friday this year, it did fall $10 this morning down to $689 shipped to deliver the second-best price we have tracked all-time at within $20 of the Black Friday low and $110 off the $799 list price. 

While these deals might not seem nearly as deep as the hundreds in savings we have featured on M4 MacBooks and iPads over the last month or so, we are talking about already quite affordable gear by Apple standards.

As I have discussed previously, the M4 Mac mini has been one of the best purchases I have made on Apple gear in years (I’m typing this article on one right now), and a piece of kit I really can’t recommend enough for folks looking to setup a proper home office, workstation, and/or creative suite without breaking the bank entirely.
