It’s a good idea to look for Black Friday Apple deals this time of year if you’re thinking about upgrading an aging laptop or picking up a pair of AirPods or an Apple Watch as a gift. One of the best discounts we’re tracking at the moment is on the M4-powered Mac Mini desktop — it’s $120 off right now, down from $599 to $479. That applies to the 16GB of RAM/256GB SSD model, and it’s pretty close to its all-time-low price.
We gave the Mac mini M4 a 90 in our review, in part, because it packs an incredible amount of power into such a small design. It also has front facing USB-C and headphone ports, a first for the Mac mini lineup. Plus, it starts with 16GB of RAM, an upgrade from its predecessors.

However, if you want more memory or storage, the other Mac Mini M4 models are also on sale. You can get 16GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD for $719, down from $799. Then there’s the option for 24GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD at $889, down from $999. Plus, if you want to bundle in three years of AppleCare+, each model ends up being about $100 cheaper than normal.
If you’re looking to build a desktop setup from scratch, there’s a small but notable discount on Apple’s Magic Trackpad as well. It’s down to $120, which is only seven percent off its usual price but it’s the cheapest we’ve seen it.
