Looking for a new desktop, but have very little space for a traditional tower? A Mac mini is the way to go. Not only is it small enough to put just about anywhere, it brings the kind of power you'd get in a much larger package, but in a smaller, more convenient form factor. And you can save big on one right now thanks to this Amazon deal.

As of Sept. 24, get the M4 Apple Mac mini for $499, down from its usual price of $599, at Amazon. That's $100 off and a discount of 17%.

The M4 Mac mini is just 5 x 5 inches overall, which Apple claims is less than half the size of its previous model, with a series of front-facing ports with two USB-C options and a headphone jack to make setup much easier than before.

The M4 chip makes it a speedy option no matter what it is you need to get done, and it's built to support Apple Intelligence from the start. That means that for less than $500, you get a small, zippy desktop option, and you can use Apple accessories you may already have (like a Magic Keyboard).

You can also use it to mirror what's on your iPhone and iPad, so if you're already in the iOS ecosystem, you can come straight to macOS and continue to use your photos, videos, and everything else that's important to you without having to transfer all your data.

If you're looking for simplicity, speed, and power in a compact size, this is an excellent option while it's still available on sale.
