We update this page regularly and give prices that are accurate at time of publication, but note that they fluctuate. Keep reading to see the best US prices currently available for Apple's Mac Mini. Rick Broida, CNET's Cheapskate emeritus, is a big fan of refurbs - particularly Apple's, which are often as good as new. It's worth keeping an eye out, however, because you can lock in substantial savings. Refurb inventory changes rapidly so you may not always find an M1 Mac Mini listed. You can usually find a refurbished M1 Mac Mini with a 256GB SSD for $589 with a $110 discount, or the step-up model with 512GB SSD for $759 with a $140 discount. Apple has started selling refurbs of the M1 Mac Mini at its Certified Refurbished Mac page. An adequate power supply is a must for systems to run seamlessly, and many problems occur if the power supply unit fails to provide sufficient voltage levels based on the power consumption. For example, doubling the RAM to 16GB costs $180 with the student discount instead of the usual charge of $200.Īlso at Apple, you might find a refurbished M1 Mac Mini. The computer power supply unit (PSU) is one of the biggest pieces of hardware that directly affects user performance. It's worth noting that the Apple Store offers students an educational discount, where you can save $50 on the price of a new Mac Mini. Apple's M1 system-on-a-chip integrates the CPU, GPU, RAM and other components for greater power and efficiency, but the downside of this integration is the lack of DIMM slots that would allow you to add additional RAM after purchase. And unlike in most other desktops, the Mac Mini's RAM is not user-upgradable.

One benefit of paying full price and buying from Apple, however, is you can customize the machine and add more RAM or a higher-capacity SSD, whereas the models sold on Amazon and other retailers are fixed configurations. The 256GB model is harder to come by right now, but the 512GB option is $150 off at Amazon.

You can get discounts on both the 256GB model and the 512GB model right now for lower prices than you can at the Apple Store. The step-up model costs $899 from Apple and doubles the storage capacity to 512GB. The baseline model of the M1-based Mac Mini costs $699 from Apple and features 8GB of RAM and a 256GB solid-state drive.

It didn't get the M1X update that the 14-inch MacBook Pro and 16-inch MacBook Pro did last fall, but the Mac Mini remains the company's least expensive MacOS computer and is selling at considerable discounts at Amazon right now. The Mac Mini, along with the more mobile MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro, was one of the first Apple computers to ditch Intel silicon in favor of Apple's impressive M1 processor.
