Big Ticket Items on Black Friday Get a Sizable Discount
Apple's Mac mini M4, a powerful and compact desktop computer, has dropped to $499 from its original price of $599 as part of the early Black Friday sales. This represents a 17 percent discount, bringing it in line with Apple's all-time low.
The 2024 Mac mini M4 boasts impressive specs, including 16GB of RAM and 256GB of SSD, making it an attractive option for those looking to upgrade their desktop setup without breaking the bank. The device also features a front-facing USB-C port and headphone jack, a new addition to the Mac mini lineup.
However, if you're looking for more memory or storage, there are other options available on sale. A 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD model can be had for $690, down from its original price of $799, while a 24GB RAM and 512GB SSD option is priced at $890, with the latter also benefiting from a bundle deal that tacks on three years of AppleCare+ at no extra cost.
While it's worth noting that there are some smaller discounts available on other products like the Magic Trackpad, which has dropped to $120, this latest sale marks one of the biggest discounts yet on the Mac mini M4.

But let's do our due diligence here... I checked some reviews and it seems like the specs are actually pretty solid. 16GB of RAM and 256GB SSD is not bad at all. And the new front-facing USB-C port and headphone jack are nice touches! 
However, if you're looking to splurge on more memory or storage, those other options might be a bit out of reach... unless you're feeling flush? 
... can't they just get by with an old one and use it until the parts start falling apart? 
. but like, just make sure to check that your kid isn't going to "accidentally" get rid of their old one after a week...
i've been waiting for a good deal on that thing and now it's like, super affordable 
i mean, 16gb ram and 256gb ssd is already a beast of a spec sheet but adding a front-facing usb-c port and headphone jack? game changer 
i'm def thinking about grabbing one of these bad boys for my home office 
so I'm wondering if this 17% discount is even a big deal? I mean, Apple's been selling these Mac minis for ages and they're already pretty affordable. I've seen similar deals on other laptops from other brands that offer more RAM or storage for the same price. Is it really worth upgrading just because there's a slightly bigger discount? 
but seriously, the specs on that mac mini m4 are impressive - 16gb ram and 256gb ssd are no joke, especially for the price. it's definitely worth considering if you're in the market for an upgrade or a new setup. i'm also loving the addition of a front-facing usb-c port and headphone jack, those are some nice touches 
Still, if you need the extra memory and storage, I suppose the discounts on those models are pretty tempting 
. And what's up with the bundle deal on the more expensive model? Three years of AppleCare+ is a nice perk, but isn't it a bit of an upsell? 
. Can't say I'm too surprised though, Apple usually kicks off sales during Black Friday. What's good is that they're including the headphone jack and USB-C port, which is a nice touch 
. and yeah, the extra memory and storage options are a total win 
. has anyone else picked one up yet? 
. I mean, think about all the cool new gadgets we'll have to buy when the next gen comes out... 
i mean who doesnt love scoring a sick deal on a new mac mini? $499 for 16gb of ram and 256gb of ssd is literally the best thing since sliced bread. i was just thinking of upgrading my desktop setup but didnt want to break the bank, and now i can get it for almost half off!!! 
now i'm tempted to upgrade my own desktop...
