At $599, the base version of the M4 Mac mini was already exuding killer value, with Apple introducing 16GB unified RAM as standard, along with a 256GB of SSD. For a machine as compact as this, to see it bulldoze through a variety of tasks was nothing short of extraordinary. The M4 is a dream silicon for creative professionals, but the SoC can also deliver solid framerates in older AAA games such as Death Stranding.
Of course, there will always be caveats, and on this occasion, the 256GB of storage for the base version was way too low for the majority of buyers, and given how Apple charges close to an arm and a leg for storage and RAM upgrades, you were inclined to upgrade to the 512GB version. Thankfully, as part of Amazon’s ‘year end’ sale, the same amount of storage is available for just $699, making it the lowest price that we have ever seen on the online retailer.
This means that you only need to add $100 over the base model to acquire double the storage, and given the premium that Apple charges, this configuration is a steal. According to the listing, the fastest estimated delivery of the M4 Mac mini is between February 8-10, so while it is going to be a long wait, you cannot deny that this deal is beyond exceptional. Thanks to a previous teardown video of the compact computer, we learned that the M4 Mac mini features a separate SSD module, which supports an uncommon form factor, but with the right amount of research, you can purchase third-party modules to bump up that storage.
We want to remind readers that there is no guarantee that this deal will remain active when the new year starts, so if you want a portable computer that can handle almost anything at a lower price, we do not understand why there would be any confusion picking up the 512GB version of the M4 Mac mini.
