If you're looking to upgrade your desktop or perhaps add a backup PC for your MacBook, now might be the best time to pick one up. Apple's Mac Mini with the latest M4 chipset is on sale at Amazon. Specifically, the M4 model with 16 GB RAM and 256 GB of SSD storage falls to $689 from its usual price of $799, translating to a $110 (14%) discount.

Note that this is a rare discount and the new best price for this variant, beating the previous record by $10.

Why Buy the Apple Mac Mini M4 (2024)?

Apple introduced the Mac Mini M4 (review) along with M4 Pro and Max options in late 2024. This new series is more than just a refresh to the previous Mac Mini M2 as it features a major overhaul in the Mac Mini line.

Primarily, the Mac Mini M4's design has been notably updated, resulting in a more compact machine. This makes it easy to position on your desk (or even under it) or transport when needed.

In addition, the new design repositions a pair of USB-C Thunderbolt 4 ports on the front for better accessibility. Plus, you get a rich array of interfaces including HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet, and additional Thunderbolt 4 ports on the back, along with Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity. There's an enhanced display output as well, supporting up to 8K monitors.

Despite its much smaller volume, the M4 SoC delivers a significant performance leap in both processor and graphics. You get a total of 10 CPU cores, up from the M2's 8, while the GPU and neural engine offer a sizable power improvement in terms of handling graphics and machine learning tasks, respectively. The overall setup is more efficient and highly suitable for casual users, as well as those requiring heavier processing.

I still remember how amazed I was when I first got hold of the Nokia 3210 back when I was a kid, and it was during that time I developed my love for technology, particularly for mobile phones. I started sharing my knowledge through writing in different blogs and forums back in Nokia Nseries era. I even make videos before where I put different phones side-by-side. Today, I'm still an avid enthusiast of smartphones, but my interests have evolved into smart devices and electric vehicles.
