Save $150 on the Apple Mac Mini M4, but There’s a Catch
Apple’s Mac Mini M4 is one of the best mini computers you can buy, and it’s $150 off. While it’s a good deal on a new, older-generation model, it’s more expensive than it was at launch.
Apple has offered a savings of $150 on the Mac Mini M4, but there's a catch. While the new Mac Mini M4 is still a powerful option for many users and can handle AI tasks, its original base price was $599 when it launched in 2024. Due to price hikes across Apple's hardware line this year, the M4 is now priced at $799, which is still cheaper than the new M6 model starting at $899.
The M4 Mac Mini might not be the most powerful tiny computer anymore— that title now belongs to the M6 and M5 Pro models—but it's still an incredibly efficient processor. Its performance is comparable to the M6 for tasks such as web browsing and general productivity. However, for intensive tasks like AI or video editing, it may not be sufficient as it requires more than 16 GB of memory.
For most users, the M4 Mac Mini is a great deal and an affordable computing option. If AI tasks are a priority, then upgrading to the newer M6 would be recommended.
