SAVE $50: As of April 1, the 2024 Apple Mac Mini with the M4 chip is available for $549 at Amazon. That’s $50 off its usual $599 price.
I’m not saying I’m ready to ditch my full-size desktop, but this new Mac Mini is definitely making me rethink how much desk real estate a computer actually needs. The 2024 Mac Mini with Apple’s new M4 chip is on sale for $549 at Amazon. That’s $50 off, and if you’ve been looking for a sleek, no-nonsense Mac to plug into your setup, this might be your sign.
This version comes with a 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU, so yes, it’s basically five inches of pure computing ego. Apple designed it to work seamlessly with Apple Intelligence, and while I’m not totally sure what that means yet, it sounds like my Mac might start ghostwriting my emails and I’m not mad about it.
I think what makes this model really appealing is its flexibility. It has front-facing USB-C ports (finally), Thunderbolt, HDMI, and Gigabit Ethernet in the back, and it somehow still looks like a clean Apple design dream. You can hook it up to your iPhone, answer FaceTime calls, or just paste something between devices like a tech wizard.

And let’s be honest: macOS on the M4 chip absolutely flies. Apps like Adobe Creative Cloud and Microsoft 365 load up so quickly it almost feels rude. You’re getting 16GB of unified memory, a 256GB SSD, and a desktop that weighs less than your cat. If you’ve ever considered downsizing, now’s a good time to actually do it without sacrificing power.
