Apple M4 10-Core

Powered by an impressive M4 chip, the redesigned Mac Mini starts with 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD, a 10-core CPU, and a 10-core GPU.

If you need a computer under $500, there aren’t a lot of great options. So whenever there is one, it’s already newsworthy. The Mac Mini is one of the best cheap computers your money can buy, and at less than $500, it can’t get better than this.

The M4-powered Mac Mini was recently launched at a $599 price point. Right now, however, you can grab one for a measly $469.99. That’s over $100 off its original price point, and makes it, at least temporarily, probably the best computer your money can buy for under $500.

Apple’s smallest computer can do it all.

The base M4 model of the Mac Mini boasts a 10-core CPU (4 performance, 6 efficiency) and a 10-core GPU, with up to 32GB of unified memory and 2TB SSD storage. There aren’t a lot of CPUs that are faster than this, and the fact it’s Apple silicon also means that the computer is as efficient as it can get. We have a fast CPU (up to 1.8x over M1), amazing GPU performance (up to 2.2x over M1, with hardware-accelerated ray tracing), and a quick 16-core Neural Engine for AI tasks. The M4 Mac mini also features Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, and an array of ports including Thunderbolt 4, HDMI, and Ethernet. It’s a really great option for anyone who doesn’t need a laptop and only has $500 to spend.

Make sure to grab this now while this deal still lasts.
