As far as mini PCs go, my absolute favorite is the Apple Mac mini (M4). It’s powerful, compact, and robust, and right now only $30 more than its lowest price ever. That means you can pick up the incredible Apple Mac mini (M4) at Best Buy for $499 (was $599).

This model of the Mac mini has the super powerful M4 chip, 16GB of memory, and a 256GB SSD. The fact that you can get it for under $500 is frankly a little ludicrous. I’ve no idea why it doesn’t get more airtime, but let me assure you, you’re not going to regret investing in this tiny desktop machine that will last you for many years to come.

Today’s best Mac mini deal

If you want to find out why we called it the “best Mac ever” then you’ve got to take a read of our in-depth Apple Mac mini (M4) review. We don’t give out five-star ratings very easily, but the product deserved it thanks to its stellar performance on pretty much every front.

From our testing, this is the best small form factor PC and one of the best ways of getting macOS at home. With a perfect blend of power and affordability, it’s no surprise that it’s one of the best computers around.

This version of the Mac mini has removable, modular storage compared to previous models’ soldered-on components. That means you can easily upgrade to 512GB if you need to at a later date.

If you’re looking for a portable computer but need a display, then our MacBook Pro deals page is well worth a look. Alternatively, head over to our best mini PCs guide to see what other options you have.
