Apple’s Newest Mac Mini Is on Sale at Its Lowest Price Ever During the Final Hours of the October Prime Day Sale.
Apple’s most compact Mac is popular among both AI enthusiasts and those looking for a great deal. Despite its size, this Mac is as powerful as any other, making it an excellent choice for both running AI agents and performing simple macOS tasks.
While the Mac mini isn’t as affordable as it once was— the memory crisis has certainly taken its toll —it’s now cheaper than ever during the final hours of the October Prime Day sale. If you’ve been considering a Mac mini , now’s the time.
Apple’s newest Mac mini is powered by the all-new M6 chip, which includes a 12-core processor, 12-core graphics, 16GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. This processor is so new that the company hasn’t yet integrated it into its laptops. This means the M6-powered Mac mini will significantly outperform Apple laptops with the M5 processor, such as the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro with the M5 processor, while also being significantly cheaper. Why the discount? Because Apple doesn’t include a keyboard, trackpad, or display. It’s a standalone computer, and the price is accordingly. It’s a great buy if you already have these peripherals, but your costs will increase if you need to buy one, two, or three of them.
Most users will likely connect one or two displays to this Mac mini, but it actually supports up to three. While it lacks a webcam, it does have a built-in speaker and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Ports include three Thunderbolt 4 ports, two USB-C ports, HDMI, and 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet—though you can upgrade to a 10 Gigabit Ethernet port. Normally, all this costs $899. But during the October Prime Day sale, you can get this computer for just $779.99, a savings of about $120. While that’s still more expensive than Apple’s previous Mac mini MSRP, it’s the best price on the M6 so far and a great value.
If you need something more powerful, the updated Mac mini models are also currently on sale. The Mac mini M6 with a 512GB SSD is now $949.99, down from $1,099 (a savings of $150), and the Mac mini M6 Pro is $1,149.99, down from $1,299. In short, if you’re buying a Mac mini today, be sure to buy it on Amazon.
