The new Mac mini takes high end performance at an affordable price-point to a new extreme. It equips 16GB of RAM by standard, which was previously a $200 upgrade. The M4 chip is also incredibly performant – and all of this is available in a package that you can purchase for just $479 with early Black Friday deals.

While there’s no word on when an M5 Max might see the light of day – there was an almost six month gap between the M4 and the M4 Pro and Max – that version is likely to raise total chip power, but without a large hike in CPU consumption.

Apple just announced its M5 chip a few weeks ago but this MacBook Pro with M4 Pro remains an incredibly powerful machine that handles almost all professional workflows with ease. This record low pricing at $1,749 on Amazon for the 24GB/512GB model, down from $1,999, makes it more compelling than most MacBooks currently available.
