"Apple has a reputation for keeping prices locked at full retail, especially on their latest releases. The company never discounts anything directly which makes finding deals on new Apple hardware feel like spotting a unicorn. That's why the current situation with the 2024 Mac Mini is worth your attention: Amazon just dropped the latest 256GB M4 model to $499, down from $599, and this is the lowest price we've seen on Apple's newest compact desktop."
"The M4 chip in this Mac Mini features a 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU which means serious computation from an object that's hardly larger than a coaster. Apple's chip design means these cores operate differently than standard Intel or AMD processors. The CPU is divided between performance and efficiency cores and uses heavy tasks such as video or 3D rendering on the performance cores and background tasks on efficiency cores without draining power and heat."
"The total 16GB of RAM comes into play here as Apple's architecture divides RAM between the GPU and the CPU instead of having independent ones like in the ancient machines. The system dynamically allocates memory depending on what you're doing in this integrated manner so 16GB is more than enough compared to the same in the case of Windows. You can trim 4K video, have several creative programs open at once, or seriously multitask without the system bogging down."
Amazon reduced the 256GB M4 Mac Mini from $599 to $499, marking the lowest price for this compact desktop. The M4 includes a 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU, using a mix of performance and efficiency cores to handle heavy tasks while controlling power and heat. The system uses 16GB of unified RAM shared between CPU and GPU, enabling smooth 4K video editing, multitasking, and running multiple creative apps without slowdown. The 256GB SSD provides fast storage compared with traditional hard drives. Continuity and AirDrop extend seamless interoperability with other Apple devices, enhancing productivity.
