The Tiny Mac Mini Gets a Big Price Cut in This Year's Black Friday Sales
Best Buy cuts price of Apple Mac mini M4 16GB/256GB to $479, a record low, offering an affordable macOS option with modular storage for easy upgrades.
- On Friday, Best Buy discounted the Apple Mac mini to $479 from $599 during Black Friday sales, with editors calling it a record-low and the cheapest price seen so far.
- Retailers rolled out Black Friday discounts that included the Mac mini, promoted as a lower-cost way to run macOS for buyers avoiding MacBooks.
- The M4's hardware includes removable storage upgradable to 512GB and features unified memory, a 10-core CPU and GPU, and an M4 chip praised for strong performance.
- With the deal, consumers gain cheaper macOS access but face a wait-versus-buy decision as the M5 Mac mini is expected around mid-2026.
- Beyond the base model, higher-spec variants are discounted at Black Friday, including the 24GB/512GB Mac mini option at $889 and the 16GB/512GB Mac mini option at $719, while AppleCare+ and modular storage offer added value.
