M6 Mac Mini Early Black Friday Sale (2026)
Not only is it the best mini computer you can buy, but it’s currently on sale, starting at just $779.
The Mac Mini was out of stock for most of the year, with wait times up to three months. Apple released a new model in late August that features the M6 chip and restocked inventory, surprising Apple with the sudden demand. The M6 variant comes with 16 GB of RAM, sufficient for running smaller models. Amazon offers a 24-GB model with 512 GB of storage for $1,150.
Purchasing the machine directly from Apple allows for an additional 32 GB of storage at a $150 discount compared to the base model. Best Buy sells the older M4 model for $649 for those seeking a more budget-friendly option. The M6 provides a notable boost in GPU performance over the M4, making it a worthwhile investment for those engaging in local AI work, albeit at an increased cost of $120.
Although this price is close to the lowest seen for the Mac Mini, it is not the cheapest observed. A brief price drop by $10 occurred in October, but the potential for further reductions around Black Friday remains uncertain. However, the M5 MacBook Air, currently priced at $1,099, offers 16 GB of unified memory, representing one of the best deals available ahead of Black Friday.
