What was arguably already the best value in current-gen Macs at full price is now seeing some solid price drops at Amazon this morning. While we aren’t see deals quite as low as we were for Black Friday last year, they are relatively close here – the most affordable model is now down at $499, or within $20 of the Black Friday price.
Amazon is now serving up its first notable discounts on Apple’s M4 Mac mini lineup of 2026. All three of the configurations it offers were on sale for Black Friday for a little bit less ($20 less to be exact), as well as on and off in the lead up to Christmas 2025, but we are otherwise looking at some solid discounts here and the best we have tracked over the last few weeks since.
- M4 Mac mini 16GB/256GB $499 (Reg. $599)
- M4 Mac mini 16GB/512GB $690 (Reg. $799)
- M4 Mac mini 24GB/512GB $890 (Reg. $999)
On the two 16GB variants above, you’re essentially looking at some of the lowest prices we tracked across all of 2025, save for the bonus $20 in savings during Black Friday and a couple short-lived dips previous to that. The 16GB/512GB config in particular is now matching the lowest we have tracked at Amazon outside of the $670 Black Friday offer.
Much of this applies to the 24GB/512GB model list above, but that one did see a few particularly notable discounts in May and early June of last year that had it down as low as $842 at Amazon for a short time.
All of that said, for me the Mac mini is already well worth its price of entry before the discounts, is the most value-packed Apple purchase I have made personally in the last year or two, and I truly cannot recommend it enough for folks looking towards a relatively affordable Apple desktop experience.
