Since Prime Day, Amazon’s been randomly gifting us with some pretty good deals on Apple products. The 2024 Mac mini, for example, was just redesigned (announced Oct. 2024) from the ground up around the powerful new M4 chip, and it's already discounted by $100.

As of Sept. 15, you can get the Apple 2024 Mac mini (M4, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD) on sale for $499 at Amazon. That's a $100 discount off its $599 list price.

The most noticeable change is the new design. Apple shrunk the computer down to a "five by five inch" square, which it claims has a footprint less than half the size of the previous design. They also added convenient front-facing ports, including two USB-C ports and a headphone jack, so you don't have to fumble around the back to plug things in.

As far as power goes, the M4 chip delivers a huge performance boost. It's also specifically built to handle Apple Intelligence, the new AI system integrated into macOS. For under $500, you're getting a powerful, future-proof machine that's perfect for a clean and minimalist desk setup.
