Today’s Apple deals are now ready to roll starting off with another shot at saving $150 off the sticker price on Apple’s latest 24GB M4 Mac mini with the 512GB SSD. Next we move over to some clearance pricing on the M3 MacBook Air lineup – M4 models are still $150 off, but you’ll now find 24GB M3 variants at $450 off the list. The same goes for iPad Air – current M3 configs are $100 off but we have up to $400 off M2 variants right now. All of that and more awaits below.
Apple’s 24GB M4 Mac mini with the 512GB SSD is now back down at $849 ($150 off)
While the deals we were tracking last week and over the weekend on the most affordable entry models have now jumped back up in price, Amazon has brought back its $150 price drop on the 24GB M4 Mac mini. Regularly $999, you can now land one down at $849 shipped to match our previous mention.
Considering the rest of the M4 Mac mini configurations on Amazon have now jumped back up to higher prices – they are still technically on sale but nothing quite as notable as we featured over the weekend, there is a chance this deal on the 24GB config might follow suit. It is, however, at the time of writing, $150 off again at Amazon, but there’s no telling how long this offer might stick around for. That said, B&H is also matching this price right now and will do so until June 27, or until supplies last – “limited supply at this price.”
Clearly the main draw for Apple’s latest, even more mini, Mac mini is the price. It is easily one of the best values in Apple’s current-generation lineup considering it starts at $599 and can, at times, be found down closer to $499 or a touch less.
The model we are featuring here today is certainly a more pricey investment, but it is also a more future proof one that doubles the internal storage to 512GB on the SSD and ups the RAM count to 24GB. I can personally make 16GB work most of the time, although it can chug a bit when running intensive Logic Pro sessions, for example, but the 256GB of internal storage is starting to feel seriously limiting – I will be going 512GB or better, even if I have to save up to do so, from now on with new Apple purchases (outside of iPhone anyway).
Amazon offers the 24GB M3 MacBook Air at $450 off the list price right now ($200+ under the M4 model)
While you’re not going to find this particularly notable deal on all of the colors, and it’s certainly not the new M4 model, we wanted to shine a light on the 24GB silver M3 MacBook Airthis morning. Amazon is now offering the 15-inch version of this configuration down at $1,249 shipped – that’s $450 under the regular $1,699 list price.
As we reminded folks yesterday, the M3 MacBook Air got an RAM upgrade when Apple eschewed the old 8GB configurations – this resulted in an effective price reduction across the lineup.
The model we are featuring here today carried a regular list price at $1,899 before the RAM bump, and a $1,699 list after. That means that at $1,249 you’re paying $650 under the price Apple charged for this machine last September, and $450 under the price it charged between then and the release of the new M4 models this year.
