Mac Mini Price slashed to new low at B&H Photo for Black Friday

By Arif Bacchus November 27, 2020

Apple just announced its newest Mac Mini desktop computer with the custom Apple-designed M1 chip a few weeks ago, but it is already on sale as part of the latest round of Black Friday Apple deals. Act now, as the compact desktop computer is down to one of its lowest prices ever thanks to Black Friday deals, despite what looks like just a modest $60 savings.

Now selling for the new low price of $640 instead of $700, there’s plenty of reason to pick up this latest Mac Mini. Unlike prior versions, this desktop computer comes with a custom-designed Apple M1 CPU inside. That means Apple is able to optimize the hardware for maximized performance. As many early reviews have discovered, you’ll get system performance on this Mac Mini that’s closer to what you see on Windows laptops with entry-level dedicated graphics cards.

This Mac Mini will not only blaze through webpages and other things, but it will also edit videos quite fast. There’s even support for running iOS and iPhone or iPad apps, too, which you can’t find on any other Mac Mini model with an Intel processor. That’s thanks to the technology inside the 8-core processor and the 8-core GPU on the Apple M1 CPU die.

Do note that this Mac Mini comes with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. It’s the base model, but there’s always room for expansion via plugging in a USB hard drive or solid-state-drive the USB-Type A ports, or Thunderbolt 3 ports on the rear.

As the name suggests, the Mac Mini is also quite compact. It’s just 1.4 inches thick and measures about 7.5 inches in length. It’s also quite light, too, at only 2.6 pounds. Not to mention, the Mac mini has a fancy silver look that will look understated and elegant on your desk.

Of course, you’ll need a monitor to go with the Mac Mini since it’s just a desktop, but there are plenty on sale as part of Amazon Black Friday deals.

More Mac deals available now

Don’t forget, there are other Mac-themed deals out there, too. As Black Friday continues to go on throughout the day, you’ll see Black Friday Macbook deals on MacBook Pros, MacBook Airs, and even other Apple gear like iPads and iPhones.

Searching for a cheap laptop? Look no further than this $250 HP

HP 14 laptop with intel Celeron on desk.

If you're looking for super cheap laptop deals, HP has a great one right now. Today, you can buy an HP 14-inch laptop for $250 instead of $450 so you save $200 off the regular price. It's a basic laptop but if you simply need something to be able to browse online, write a few documents, and check email, it'll do the job. Likely to be only on sale for a brief time, here's what you need to know.

Why you should buy the HP 14t
HP is one of the best laptop brands at the moment so even at this price, you're still getting a reasonable laptop. The system offers an Intel Celeron processor along with 8GB of memory and 128GB of SSD storage. The processor is far from speedy but it's reassuring to see 8GB of memory when some systems at this price still stick to the painfully low 4GB. The 14-inch display is a standard HD one but you get micro-edge bezels so it takes up less room than you'd expect plus it offers HP's BrightView technology for a brighter picture. Other useful additions include an HP True Vision 720p HD webcam along with an SD media card reader.

Why you should buy the Apple Watch SE 2
The Apple Watch SE 2, which was released six months ago, is in our list of the best smartwatches as the best cheap Apple Watch because you'll get most of the features found in the Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch Ultra, but at a fraction of their cost. The Apple Watch SE 2 uses the same S8 chipset as the Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch Ultra, and it runs on the latest WatchOS 9 that enables reliable notifications from your paired iPhone and a comprehensive suite of fitness and health-tracking features. It may not have the ECG, blood oxygen monitoring, and always-on screen of its more expensive siblings, but if you don't think you'll need them, the Apple Watch SE 2 may be the best choice for you.

A close-up of the DJI Air 2S in flight.

The DJI Air 2S, one of the best drones around, is currently on sale at Amazon and it's not just any price. The lowest-ever price at Amazon, this is the ideal time to be tempted into making the investment and checking out the wonders of having your own drone for capturing some great scenery. Normally pried at $999, it's down to $849 so you save $150 or 15% off the regular price. Given the rarity of the offer, we're expecting this deal to end pretty soon so here's a quick look at why it's worth it.

Why you should buy the DJI Air 2S Drone
The DJI Air 2S is a great drone because it does everything well. It's able to capture sharp images with a 1-inch image sensor and large 2.4μm pixels. Capable of 5.4K at 30fps or 4K at 60fps, it's a great way to take in the surrounding world from a better angle than you could ever gain on the ground. Its 10-bit Dlog-M color profile can record up to one billion colors while still retaining all the little details you love to see, so footage really pops on screen.
