If you’re a fan of Apple’s Mac mini desktop computers and you’ve been thinking about getting the latest series, you won’t want to miss this chance at a discount on the Apple Mac mini M4. The configuration with 24GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD is on sale from Amazon at 15% off, bringing its price down from $999 to $849. As with all Apple deals, you should take advantage of the savings as soon as you can because the offer may disappear at any moment — hurry if you want to get it for $150 lower than usual.

Why you should buy the Apple Mac mini M4

The Apple Mac mini M4 is a wonderful machine. We gave its more powerful counterpart, the Apple Mac mini M4 Pro, an impressive score of 4.5 stars out of 5 stars in our review, but the Apple Mac mini M4 will already provide a level of performance that meet the needs of most people. The M4 chip is a very powerful processor that allows the mini desktop computer to run like a gaming PC, in addition to being a very dependable productivity tool, and the 24GB of RAM ensures that you can smoothly multitask between apps.

Measuring just 5 inches by 5 inches by 2 inches, the Apple Mac mini M4 is even smaller than its predecessors, but inside the little package is enough juice to maximize the capabilities of Apple Intelligence. The desktop computer also has no shortage of ports for your monitor and accessories — two USB-C ports and a headphone jack at the front, and three Thunderbolt 4 ports, an Ethernet port, and an HDMI port at the back.

Apple’s devices rarely appear in desktop computer deals, so this offer from Amazon for the Apple Mac mini M4 is going to attract a lot of attention. From the original price of $999 for this configuration with 24GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD, you’ll be able to buy it for $849 for savings of $150. You’re going to have to be quick in completing your transaction though, as the stocks that are up for sale may run out very soon. Push through with your purchase of the Apple Mac mini M4 immediately to secure the 15% discount.

Pressing delete on your AI chat doesn’t mean it’s actually gone. ORISA can recover deleted conversations from your local AI apps.

Did you think hitting delete on your AI chatbot conversation actually makes it disappear? Georgia Tech researchers just proved that's not entirely true. They have built a forensic tool called ORISA that can dig deleted conversations from your phone and even rebuild them into a working chatbot session you can keep talking to.

How can ORISA bring deleted AI conversations back?

Apple’s “Pro and Tell” October 28 event: Everything we expect from touchscreen MacBooks to a new iMac

Prepare for a touchscreen MacBook that costs around $3,000.

Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Touchscreen laptops have been around for years. You can get them in all sizes and shapes. Just not from Apple. For years, the Cupertino giant has treated the idea of a touchscreen MacBook the way I treat a meeting that could have been an email: with open contempt. However, Wednesday looks like the day the company could finally change its mind.

The latest Apple invite puts the “Pro and Tell” showcase in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) on October 28, 2026. Instead of a regular live-streamed keynote, it is an invitation-only, hands-on event for a handful of press and creators (similar to what the company did for the MacBook Neo earlier this year).

Those cute delivery robots could be the new Flock surveillance menace

Dinner is served, but who asked for a biometric scan?

Food delivery robots

Two residents of Chicago have filed a lawsuit in the US over claims that robots run by Coco Robotics and Serve Robotics captured their facial and hand measurements without consent, bringing renewed attention to the food delivery robots. The cases raise a troubling question: If a robot delivers food to your door, can it also be gathering sensitive information about you?

According to a report by The Associated Press, the proposed class-action lawsuits were filed in Cook County on Oct. 9 and allege violations of Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act. The complaints claim that the robots’ cameras and LiDAR sensors captured information on customers’ faces and hands as they approached the machines to pick up their orders. Both have denied the allegations.
