SAVE $129.01: Normally $699, Amazon has the 2020 Apple Mac mini (M1, 256GB) on sale for only $569.99 as of April 14. That's an 18% discount and its lowest price to date.
Apple's new Mac Studio is an absolute beast, but with a starting price of $1,999 to $3,999 (depending on the processing chip you want), it's clearly designed for an elite crowd. For the average user in search of a powerful-but-not-too-pricey desktop, 2020's compact, M1-equipped Mac mini remains the best choice.
In fact, it's an especially good choice right now: As of April 14, Amazon had the 256GB base model on sale for just $569.99. (Note the $99.01 extra savings coupon that gets applied at checkout.) This is easily its best price to date, shaving 18% off its $699 MSRP and beating its previous all-time low by about $60, per the price-tracking site camelcamelcamel.
For comparison's sake, this exact same model was listed for $669 (or $30 off) at Walmart and B&H Photo the last time we checked, while Best Buy still had it stuck at full price.
A winner of our coveted Mashable's Choice Award, this Mac mini offers three times faster performance and six times better graphics performance than its predecessor (an Intel-powered model from 2018) — it should be able to handle video games and music production with ease. Apple's also equipped it with an "advanced thermal design" that makes sure it runs cool and quiet.
To top it all off, the Mac mini gets you a pair of zippy Thunderbolt/USB 4 ports and USB-A ports for connecting other devices. It can support up to two displays at once, including something as beefy as Apple’s Pro Display XDR with full 6K resolution, so don't hold back if you're someone who prefers working on a dual monitor setup.
