A new computer is a big purchase, no matter how you slice it. But if you can get your next machine at a discount, all the better. Those looking for a new desktop have a solid deal to consider right now on Apple’s M4 Mac mini, which is down to a record-low price of $469.
That price will get you the base model, which has 16GB of RAM and 256GB of SSD storage. If you’re willing to pay a bit more, you can get the 16GB/512GB model for $689, down from $799. The top-of-the-line configuration will set you back $849, $150 less than usual, and it gives you 24GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD.

We gave the newest Apple Mac mini a 90 in our review thanks to perks like the impressive speed of its chip (though we did test the M4 Pro). It also offers front USB-C and headphone ports for easy use, along with an overall smaller design. Plus, it’s great that even the base version starts at 16GB of RAM.
