Thankfully, the step-up M4 model with 512GB of storage and 16GB of RAM is on sale at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Apple-2024-Desktop-Computer-10%E2%80%91core\/dp\/B0DLBX4B1K?tag=theverge02-20\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com\/?id=1025X1701640&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bhphotovideo.com%2Fc%2Fproduct%2F1859257-REG%2Fapple_mcyt4ll_a_mac_mini_m4_10c_10cgpu_24gb_512gb.html\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">B&amp;H Photo<\/a> for $689 ($110 off), which marks its lowest price ever. The entry-level model with 256GB of storage is also on sale at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Apple-2024-Desktop-Computer-10%E2%80%91core\/dp\/B0DLBTPDCS?tag=theverge02-20\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com\/?id=1025X1701640&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bhphotovideo.com%2Fc%2Fproduct%2F1859258-REG%2Fapple_mu9d3ll_a_mac_mini_m4_10c_10cgpu_16gb_256gb.html\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">B&amp;H Photo<\/a> for $469 ($130 off) \u2014 another all-time low.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Former Verge staffer Chris Welch called the machine \u201ca tiny wonder\u201d in his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/24289730\/apple-mac-mini-m4-review\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">review last year<\/a>, namely because of its size reduction and power boost over previous generations. Apple managed to pack a lot into a computer that\u2019s five inches wide and two inches tall. We reviewed the upgraded 512GB model on sale here, and it performed very well using synthetic testing software, such as Geekbench 6 and Cinebench, as well as a 4K export in Adobe\u2019s Premiere Pro. If you work with high-resolution audio, video, or photos, Apple\u2019s latest Mini should be able to handle your projects without a problem.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">One of the Mini\u2019s other strengths is its abundance of ports. There are three Thunderbolt 3 ports, an HDMI port, and an ethernet jack on the back, along with a pair of USB-C (USB 3) ports and a 3.5mm headphone jack on the front. You can use these ports to connect up to three monitors simultaneously, plug it into a TV or projector without an adapter, switch from Wi-Fi to a wired connection on your home network, or attach other common accessories. Alas, the pair of USB-A ports that have been on the Mini for over a decade are gone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">One of our only knocks against the M4 Mini was how expensive it was to upgrade its RAM and storage capacity, but this deal helps mitigate that. Also, keep in mind that the Mini is a dedicated desktop computer, which means you will need to supply your own monitor, mouse, and keyboard. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you\u2019ve been curious about trying out a Mac for the first time or need a small computer&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":163,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[239,240,241,242,158,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-162","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-apple","9":"tag-deals","10":"tag-macos","11":"tag-tech","12":"tag-technology","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-unitedstates","15":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114717634554132807","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=162"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/163"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=162"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=162"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=162"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
