Base-model M4 Mac Mini is $499 on Amazon right now.

I've been watching these all summer (👀…) and this is the lowest it has been. MSRP is $599 and usually they're $540–570.

@marcoarment was $470 at one point.

@paul Yup, I ordered one on June 20th for 469.00 before tax. Then I bought a 2 TB SSD for 287.95 which was actually way easier to install than I expected.

~$800 total after tax is a hell of a deal in my book.

@Daytonlowell @paul where was the SSD from? Whenever Amazon has great discounts, they have no 2TB configs. And then B&H sometimes has similar dollars off but the high SSD prices still makes for an expensive total.

@Daytonlowell thanks! Didn’t occur to me to check Amazon and the few leads I got from Google were like $50 higher than that
