Save $120
We saw some pretty excellent deals on Apple devices on Black Friday, but the majority of them up and disappeared right after Cyber Monday concluded. If you missed out on some of the best savings of the year, one has just resurfaced: the M4 Mac Mini for just $479.
As of Dec. 9, you can pick up the Apple Mac Mini with an M4 chip, 16GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage for only $479 at both Amazon and Best Buy. That's 20% or $120 off its list price of $599. While it matches its Black Friday 2025 price, it's actually not the lowest price on record — but it's pretty dang close at just $10 shy.
The Mac Mini is Apple's small but mighty desktop that takes up just 5x5 inches of real estate on your desk. It packs 16GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, and the speedy M4 chip in the base model. It's also built for Apple Intelligence, if you're into that. While it's pretty dang small, it still manages to pack two USB-C ports and a headphone jack on the front and three Thunderbolt 4 ports and an HDMI and Ethernet port on the back.

You'll have to pair it with a monitor, but it doesn't need to be a fancy Apple one. You could easily go with something cheap and efficient if you want to save some money — or go with something spec-heavy if you please. Whichever option you choose, you'll already be saving big on the Apple desktop computer itself with this deal.
