The Mac mini for this generation outpaced the competition in both value and performance, with Apple’s $599 undercutting the entire PC category, all the while being exceptionally portable. There is even more positive news because Amazon has discounted multiple configurations by up to $105, including the base model, which now comes with 16GB of unified RAM and 256GB of storage, for just $549.
Of course, some might argue that the solid-state drive’s capacity is way too small, and at the bare minimum, they should upgrade to the 512GB version. In the majority of cases, this opinion is correct, and it also makes sense financially because the same Mac mini can be had for just $719. Both of these versions ship with the M4 sporting a 10-core CPU and a 10-core GPU, and it is a solid performer in both single-threaded and multi-threaded workloads.
What is even more impressive is that the integrated graphics processor can run games like Death Stranding at a steady 60FPS at higher visual settings, so despite its compact size, the Mac mini will surprise you in this category. Moving to the more powerful configuration that features an M4 Pro touting a 12-core CPU, a 16-core GPU, and a whopping 24GB unified RAM, this version offers the highest discount of $105 and is currently listed for $1,294.
For routine tasks, the M4 will do your bidding just fine, but if you have a serious need for firepower, especially for taxing workloads such as video editing, the M4 Pro has the higher core count required for such a job. There is no telling when these discounts will expire, but you should have plenty of time to think about which configuration to drive daily.
