Apple’s newest Mac Mini gets a $200 price cut, the first deal we’ve seen

LunaDisplay

The Mac Mini remains one of the most beloved desktops on the market today. Sporting a solid unibody aluminum case — a design that has been largely unchanged through the years — and a compact footprint, the Mac Mini is one of the most affordable computers running MacOS that you can buy.

And now it’s a bit more affordable thanks to a promotion from Apple reseller B&H Photo that takes up to $200 off the price. Apple refreshed its diminutive desktop late last year, giving it up-to-date silicon, so you’re getting an Intel 8th-Generation quad-core or six-core processor inside.

The Mac Mini normally starts at $749 through Apple’s website, with build-to-order upgrades maxing out at $3,499. B&H is offering discounts on various configurations of the Mac Mini, with discounts ranging from $50 to a maximum of $200. The most affordable deal available through B&H right now normally retails for $999, but thanks to a $50 discount, you’ll only pay $949 at checkout. At that price, you’ll be getting a 3.6 GHz Intel Core i3 processor, 8GB RAM, and a 256GB solid-state drive.

For a more upgraded Mac Mini experience, B&H also offers a variant with the same Intel Core i3 processor, but with double the memory and twice the storage for $1,299. With this configuration, you’re getting 16GB of RAM alongside a 512GB solid-state drive at a $100 discount from the regular $1,399 price.

For those looking to maximize their discount, a $200 discount is now available for the 3.0 GHz Intel Core i5 variant of the Mac Mini with 32GB of RAM and 1TB of solid-state storage. This model normally retails for $2,299, but after the $200 discount, you’ll pay just $2,099.

There are more variants available through the B&H website. And while you can upgrade the processor, memory, and storage to any configuration you choose, doing so may take away or change the discounts in effect. The Mac Mini can be configured with up to a 3.2 GHz Intel Core i7 processor, 64GB of memory, and 2TB of storage.

We just got even more proof that it's high time Apple released a new version of the Mac Pro. Why? Because it just got smoked in a benchmark -- and by a device that costs a tenth of its price.

The M2 Mac mini was tested in single-core and multi-core operations and then compared to the Intel-based Mac Pro. Unsurprisingly, the news is all bad for the expensive 2019 workstation.

Apple's new Mac Mini M2 promises better performance and features at a lower price. But with the next-gen machine now out and making the rounds, you can score a deal on a last-gen Mac Mini M1. Which should you buy?

With the same external design and similar port selection, the Mac Mini M2 looks like an internal-only upgrade to Apple's mini desktop. There are some significant differences compared to the M1 model, however, and they can make a huge difference in performance.

Apple's Mac Mini M2 looks like a welcome upgrade to the aging M1 model, but is it any good? After Apple's disappointing debut of the M2 chip, this update to the Mac Mini seemed doomed for failure. But reviews say otherwise.

TechCrunch's Matt Burns wrote the Mac Mini has "never looked better than it does now with the M2 and M2 Pro," specifically pointing to the value the machine introduces to Apple's lineup. The desktop starts at just $600 for the base model, which is a $100 price cut compared to the M1 model.
