Apple's Mac mini M4 drops to $479 for Black Friday

Apple has kicked off its Black Friday sales with a significant discount on the 2024 Mac mini M4, bringing the price down to $479 for the base model. This represents a 20% reduction from its original retail price of $599 and is now only $10 shy of the all-time low.

The revamped Mac mini M4 boasts an impressive array of features that make it stand out in the compact desktop market. A notable upgrade includes front-facing USB-C and headphone ports, which are a first for the Mac mini lineup. The device also starts with 16GB of RAM, surpassing its predecessors' offerings. In our review, we awarded the Mac mini M4 a score of 90 due to its impressive power-to-size ratio.

While the base model has seen significant price drops, other configurations are available as well. Users can opt for 16GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD at $719 (down from $799), or 24GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD at $889 (down from $999). Additionally, those who wish to bundle in three years of AppleCare+ will find that their chosen model ends up being approximately $100 cheaper than usual.

Meanwhile, customers looking to build a desktop setup from scratch have found a discounted Magic Trackpad. Available for just $120 - seven percent off its usual price - this marks the cheapest we've seen it at checkout.
 
I'm so stoked that Apple is having a Black Friday sale ๐ŸŽ! I mean, who doesn't love scoring a sick deal on their Mac mini M4? The new front-facing USB-C and headphone ports are a total game-changer for me, I can already imagine how useful it'll be in our school's coding club. My friends are all about the 24GB of RAM and 512GB SSD though, they're planning to build a sweet gaming rig ๐Ÿค–. And omg, that Magic Trackpad discount is insane! We should totally get one for our classroom, I can already imagine how comfy it'll be to swipe around on ๐Ÿ“.
 
I'm not sure if 20% discount is enough to make me upgrade my old Mac mini. I mean, what's the point of having 16GB of RAM and a new design if it's just gonna cost $10 more than last year's model? And what about the higher-end configs? Is it really worth $100 extra for that extra bit of RAM and SSD? I've seen some reviews saying it's a beast in terms of power-to-size ratio, but I'm still on the fence. How much does this new design actually improve upon the old one? Anyone got any links to those review scores?
 
I'm so down for that price drop on the Mac mini M4 ๐Ÿค‘. I've been eyeing one of these for my home office and now I can finally get one without breaking the bank. The front-facing USB-C and headphone ports are a game changer - no more tangled headphones or awkwardly-placed audio jacks! ๐Ÿ˜‚ And with 16GB of RAM, it's gonna handle all my video editing and coding tasks with ease.

But what really gets me is that Apple is making those who buy the Mac mini M4 in bundles save around $100 on AppleCare+ ๐Ÿค‘. That's some serious savings right there! And if I'm building a desktop setup from scratch, I'll definitely be checking out the discounted Magic Trackpad - $120 is still a pretty sweet deal ๐Ÿ˜Š.
 
๐Ÿ˜ oh man I'm so stoked about this deal ๐ŸŽ‰! 20% off is a huge discount and now it's like they're almost giving it away ๐Ÿ’ธ๐Ÿ‘€ I mean, the Mac mini M4 was already an amazing little machine ๐Ÿค– but with these prices it's a no-brainer ๐Ÿ’ฏ. And that front-facing USB-C port? Game changer ๐ŸŽฎ! Plus, 16GB of RAM is a huge upgrade ๐Ÿ“ˆ from what they used to offer. I'm totally considering getting one for my home office ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ’ป. And hey, who doesn't love a good deal on AppleCare+ too ๐Ÿค. Can't wait to see how well it performs and if it lives up to that 90% review score ๐Ÿ“Š! ๐Ÿ‘
 
๐Ÿค” I'm telling you, something fishy is going on with Apple's Black Friday sales ๐Ÿค‘. They're basically selling us all these discounted Mac minis like they're going out of style ๐Ÿ˜‚. And don't even get me started on the Magic Trackpad deal - $120 off? That's just too convenient ๐Ÿ”ฎ. Maybe it's a test run to see how we'll react when they actually start upselling us on all the "latest and greatest" stuff ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ. I mean, who needs a 24GB of RAM for their Mac mini? Certainly not most people ๐Ÿค‘. Something's brewing under the surface here... just you watch ๐Ÿ‘€
 
The question is, what's driving Apple to slash prices like crazy? Is it a sign of an over-saturated market or are they trying to stay competitive in the digital economy? I think it's a bit of both. On one hand, with so many budget-friendly PCs on the market, you'd expect some price-cutting from the tech giants.

On the other hand, Apple is trying to stay ahead of the curve and make those bundled deals more attractive. But at what cost? Is it cannibalizing their own profit margins or just making room for new gadgets like that 2024 Mac mini M4?

It's also interesting to see how this affects the competition. Dell, HP, and Lenovo can't match Apple's all-time low price on the base model... yet. But will they start playing catch-up soon? This whole thing reminds me of the Trump administration's tax cuts โ€“ a temporary boost that might mask some deeper structural issues.

What do you guys think? Are these discounts just a publicity stunt or a genuine attempt to stay relevant in the tech landscape?

I'm definitely considering getting one for myself... or as a gift for someone special ๐Ÿ˜‰
 
omg, finally someone's listening... Apple is like "hey, we got these awesome Mac minis" and now they're just gonna sell 'em all day, every day ๐Ÿคช. but seriously, who doesn't love a good discount? i mean, $479 for the base model? that's like, actually kinda reasonable. and those new front-facing ports are pretty neat too. not to mention the extra RAM - it's like Apple's all, "hey, we know you're gonna be working from home... lots" ๐Ÿ’ป. and yeah, who wouldn't want three years of AppleCare+ for a sweet $100 off? that's like the ultimate deal ๐Ÿค“.
 
omg I'm so stoked about this deal ๐Ÿคฉ! I mean, who doesn't need a sick new Mac mini? I've been eyeing one of these babies for ages and now it's like, finally within reach ๐Ÿค‘. 20% off is insane! anyone know if the upgrade to 24GB RAM is worth it tho?

Omg I'm so down for those new Mac mini deals! ๐ŸŽ‰ Apple really knows how to bring out the discounts during Black Friday. The fact that they're giving away a front-facing USB-C port is, like, super cool! It's such a great feature that other laptops are lacking. And 16GB of RAM on the base model? Yes please! ๐Ÿคฉ I think it's genius of Apple to offer those discounted AppleCare+ bundles too - talk about saving some cash! ๐Ÿ’ธ The only thing that's bugging me is how limited these deals might be, since they're usually only available for a day or two. Hope everyone can snag those Magic Trackpad deals before they sell out though! ๐Ÿ˜…
 
omg I'm so stoked about these Black Friday deals on the new Mac mini M4 ๐Ÿคฉ! who wouldn't want to score one of these powerful compact desktops at a discounted price? I was already loving the front-facing USB-C and headphone ports, but now it's even more tempting @ $479 for the base model. and can you believe 16GB of RAM is standard now?! that's insane for its size and power. I've been eyeing this thing since it came out and I'm seriously considering upgrading my old desktop to one of these bad boys ๐Ÿ‘€
 
idk why ppl r celebratin this ๐Ÿค” Apple's Black Friday sale is like, yay someone got a decent deal on their mac mini lol. but let's be real, 16gb of ram is basically just for gaming or streamin' low-res vids ๐Ÿ“บ. and have u seen the prices of SSDs lately? it's like they're just tacked on as an afterthought ๐Ÿ’ธ. and what's up with all these bloatware programs that come pre-installed ๐Ÿ˜’ i mean, who needs them? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ
 
omg is that really 20% off for mac mini? sounds like apple trying to clear some old inventory lol... but idk, still pretty pricey considering you can get a gaming pc with similar specs for half the price ๐Ÿค‘๐Ÿ‘€
 
๐Ÿค” The significant discount on Apple's Mac mini M4 is definitely a welcome surprise, especially given its impressive features and power-to-size ratio ๐Ÿ‘. With the base model now priced at $479, it's hard to argue against taking advantage of this offer ๐Ÿค‘. I've read that the front-facing USB-C and headphone ports are a game-changer for those who need these features, and the 16GB of RAM is a nice upgrade from its predecessors ๐Ÿ’ป. The fact that AppleCare+ is also discounted when bundling with the purchase is another great bonus ๐ŸŽ. It's interesting to see how this deal will impact the market for compact desktops - I'm sure it'll be a popular choice among those looking for a reliable and feature-packed machine ๐Ÿ”ฅ.
 
omg have you checked out apple's black friday deals ๐Ÿค‘ the mac mini m4 is getting such a sweet discount now it's like 20% off the original price and i'm totally here for it ๐Ÿ˜ that front-facing usb-c port though has been on my wishlist forever! and 16gb of ram is a big upgrade from the old ones ๐Ÿ’ป plus they're throwing in three years of applecare+ which is a total steal ๐Ÿคฏ gotta say, if you need a compact desktop or just want to futureproof your setup, this is an amazing deal ๐Ÿ“ˆ
 
I'm loving this Black Friday deal on the Mac mini M4 ๐Ÿค‘๐ŸŽ‰! I think 16GB of RAM and 512GB SSD is still a bit pricey, but if you're an Apple fanboy/girl like me, it's worth considering. And the new USB-C headphone ports are a game-changer - who needs adapters anymore? ๐Ÿ˜‚ The only thing that'd make this deal better is if they included a free pair of AirPods or something ๐ŸŽง.

I've been eyeing one of these for months now, and I was prepared to shell out the big bucks. This price drop is insane! Did you know that with three years of AppleCare+, it's actually around $100 cheaper than usual? That's a no-brainer in my book ๐Ÿ’ธ. Anyone else picking one up during this sale? ๐Ÿค”
 
So Apple is trying to sell more Macs now that the new ones are out I guess ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ, and they're being super generous about it too lol. A 20% discount on the base model? That's just crazy talk! I mean, who wouldn't want a nearly new computer for like 80 bucks off? ๐Ÿ˜‚ But hey, if you're due for an upgrade or just want to play around with some specs, now might be the time to jump in. Just don't forget to get that Magic Trackpad at a steal - $120 is basically a bargain! ๐Ÿ’ธ
