If you're an Apple user who's been on the hunt for a desktop computer, Amazon has knocked nearly $100 off the price of the Apple 2024 Mac mini. As of Jan. 13, it's on sale for $499.99.

The Mac mini is normally listed for $599, so this deal saves you $99.01 in total. Fitted with the M4 chip, it's a device that's well worth looking into, especially while it's on sale. Writer Matt Binder even makes the argument that you should get it over the M4 MacBook Pro, if you aren't needing a portable computer to take on the go.

Binder explains that this is because the "base model M4 Mac mini has the exact same specs, but comes with a slightly smaller 256GB SSD drive." Given the Mac mini's usual price of $599, this is "one thousand dollars in savings" over the MacBook Pro. Again, if you're not needing a laptop specifically, it's a great stationary pick with a compact design of just five by five inches.

Alongside the M4 chip, 10‑core CPU, 10‑core GPU, and 256GB SSD, it also features Thunderbolt, HDMI, and Gigabit Ethernet ports on the back and, on the front, USB-C ports and a headphone jack.
