Last Chance Prime Day Deal: The M4 Mac Mini Is the Best Value I've Found From Apple, and It's $100 Off
I bought the M4 Mac Mini last month after reading CNET laptop expert Joshua Goldman's review of the tiny machine. I was looking for a computer that would increase my productivity and better organize my workflow. During four weeks of use, I've found it to be the best value for money among Apple's lineup. For less than $600, you can get a more powerful computer than the $999 MacBook Air. Even better, it's now selling for $100 off for Amazon Prime Day. As a result, you can buy an M4 Mac Mini for as low as $500. That's a fantastic deal for work-from-home employees and creatives, but you'll need move quickly, since this deal is likely to disappear when Prime Day wraps up. The M4 Mac Mini, Apple's smallest computer, is an easy recommendation for me since it's one of CNET's picks for the best desktop computers of 2025. It's also our go-to for the best cheap desktop alternative to a MacBook or iMac. On Amazon, it's currently discounted by 9%, and Prime members can get an additional $46 off when they apply the on-page coupon. That's close to the lowest price we've seen on this powerful computer. The M4 Mac Mini has been my best tech investment this year The M4 Mac Mini plus Apple's current crop of USB-C Magic accessories make for a really nice portable computing solution. Add a portable monitor and you're set. Josh Goldman/CNET I've been joyfully surprised by the M4 Mac Mini's value proposition and how wonderful it's been for me to work from a desk. As a freelance remote worker, I travel for at least 10 days every month, so I need a portable computer. Based on my lifestyle, I should be recommending the M4 MacBook Air. But it's the remaining 20 days of the month that I need to work harder than usual to put together new pitches, deliver approved stories, sort admin tasks, conduct research and more. All this requires immense organization and productivity, and the M4 Mac Mini has helped make my life easier. This smallest of Apple's computers doesn't compromise on power. It features a 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU, 16GB of unified memory and a 256GB solid-state drive for storage. It's very powerful for a $599 machine and a bargain at $500. You likely won't be able to find similar reliability and power on a Windows machine for $500. I've tried and failed. And no, I'm not forgetting that the Mac Mini doesn't come with a display or a mouse and keyboard. I paired my M4 Mac Mini with a 27-inch LG UltraGear monitor (currently down to $180) and a Logitech mouse and keyboard combo -- all for under $200. The UltraGear's big screen is quite useful for research and multitasking, as well as watching movies. The M4 Mac Mini can be equally excellent for both home office and content creation needs. As CNET's Goldman wrote in his review, "The Mini can fit in your hand and be everything from an everyday home office computer to a full-on professional content-creation machine -- and an easily portable one at that -- with support for up to three 6K-resolution displays." My buying recommendation The M4 Mac Mini was launched in November 2024, and it's now available at a $100 discount, which is close to the lowest price we've seen. The small Apple computer offers a superb value proposition for remote workers and content creators alike. If you've been on the fence about getting a PC for home, like me, I'd say pick up a M4 Mac Mini and see the difference for yourself. Want to check out the competition? We've rounded up the best desktop computer deals from the likes of HP, Lenovo, Dell and, naturally, Apple. And if this desktop doesn't suit your taste, you can check out the best laptop deals.

If You're a Mac Mini Owner, This UGREEN Dock Is a Must-Have Prime Day Deal, and It's Going for Peanuts
Apple's accessory game is usually pretty strong, but sometimes you find a third-party device that's custom made for an Apple computer that works so seamlessly that it makes you wonder how Apple didn't design it themselves. In the case of the UGREEN Mac Mini M4 Dock and Stand, be glad for that — instead of paying Apple prices, you get this amazing extension device for a Prime Day price of just $60. Plug your M4 Mac Mini into the UGREEN dock and stand, and it looks like it came straight from the factory with your Mini. They stack together perfectly, and the UGREEN has the same sleek, curved design as the latest M4 Mac Mini. What it adds to your already formidable compact desktop computer, however, is where the fun really starts — a huge array of high-speed extension ports, and an ingenious enclosure for a SSD that transforms the UGREEN dock into a massive external storage device. See at Amazon The UGREEN dock connects to the M4 Mac Mini with a neat, unobtrusive built-in 4cm USB-C cable that can't be seen from the front of the computer. The dock has a silicone anti-slip pad on its top so the Mac Mini is securely placed and won't slide off the dock. When stacked, the M4 Mac Mini and UGREEN dock and stand look like one unit. The M4 Mac Mini comes with three built-in Thunderbolt 4 ports, an HDMI port, and a Gig Ethernet port, which is all well and good. But the UGREEN dock and stand turns a modestly connectible compact desktop computer into a true superhub of productivity. There are 11 ports in total — three USB-A 3.2 ports, two USB-A 3.0, three USB-C 3.2, and a SD and MicroSD card reader that reads and writes at 170MB/s, all in the same compact package that looks like it's already part of the Mac Mini. All of the UGREEN's ports are easily found — 4 in the front and 6 in the back — but the secret weapon is at the bottom of the dock and stand. There's an enclosure for an M.2 NVMe SSD drive, which you can add up to 8TB of external storage to your Mac Mini. The NVMe SSD is not included, but the stand supports PCI Express, NVM Express, and NVM3 M.2 drives. Installation is a simple plug-and-play, and the drive sits securely within the UGREEN port. Once installed, the UGREEN port moves data back and forth with the Mac Mini at a blistering 10Gbps. The M4 Mac Mini is an impressive desktop computer all on its own, but the UGREEN Dock & Stand elevates it to an entirely new level of storage and connectivity with one simple connection. It's a Prime Day bargain at just $60 right now at Amazon. See at Amazon
