Apple’s base M4 Mac mini and the 512GB storage model were almost immediately discounted on Amazon after their official release date, delivering solid performance while maintaining an incredibly small form factor thanks to the new chipset upgrade. However, there will always be those that require more horsepower, which is why the M4 Pro version is available to sate those requirements. A few days ago, no offer was stamped on the more capable variant, but that is a thing of the past because those who wanted to get this version can avail $50 off.
A flat $30 discount is applied on the M4 Pro Mac mini, with the remaining $20.99 available through a discount coupon that you must tick before checking out. Aside from that, you get better specifications with this configuration, with the M4 Pro featuring a 12-core CPU and a 16-core GPU, 24GB unified RAM, and 512GB of storage. Even if you think that the SSD capacity is small, we learned through a teardown video that the Mac mini’s storage module is user-replaceable, but you still need to know a micro-soldering expert because it is still a tricky process in modding the storage, but not impossible.
When comparing the M4 Pro to other Apple Silicon, we reported that the 14-core version managed to beat the M3 Max and M2 Ultra in Geekbench 6’s single-core and multi-core tests. While this version will effortlessly outpace the aforementioned chipsets in the single-core run, the absence of two additional cores means it will be just a fraction slower in multi-threaded workloads. Then again, the M3 Max and M2 Ultra were found in costly hardware, making this Mac mini an insane deal whether you want value, performance, or both.
Seeing as how the M4 running in the base model is also a solid gaming machine, with titles like Death Stranding easily pushing 60+FPS, the extra GPU core count will make the M4 Pro even better for this purpose. Of course, Amazon has continued to offer discounts on the M4 models, too, so assuming the top-end version does not fall within your budget, you can easily choose an alternative.
