Apple’s most affordable current-gen Macs are up to $200 off right now, deals from $499
It’s back again, the best value in the current-generation Mac lineup and if you’re looking to upgrade your workstation setup without spending a fortune, the M4 Mac mini is your best option. Amazon is currently offering the most affordable Mac in the current lineup at $100 off.
There are still some $200 price drops on the M4 MacBook Air – the next most affordable model in the lineup – for folks looking to go portable, and it’s hard not to recommend the Air in that case of course. It is, in fact, the first laptop I would recommend to literally anyone. But if you’re looking for at-home workstation upgrade without breaking the bank, you can land the base M4 Mac mini that runs the same OS at $300 less than the deal price on the MacBook Air:
There’s clearly not a whole lot of comparison between these two – one is of course a laptop you can take just about anywhere, anytime and that might very well be worth the additional spend for some folks. But when it comes to upgrading to a current-generation Mac at the lowest possible price, the Mac mini was already it and it is now once again on sale to kick-off the New Year.
Heads up! Amazon offering a ginormous $699 off this M4 iPad Pro today
Amazon just served up another massive price drop on a high-end M4 iPad Pro. These things aren’t cheap, but you can now score the 11-inch 2TB model at a ginormous $699 off the original list price.
Amazon is now offering the top-end 11-inch M4 iPad Pro with the nano-texture glass and the Wi-Fi + Cell setup down at $1,599.99 shipped.
That’s still, and very much, not cheap by any means, but we are talking about an originally $2,299 configuration here at nearly $700 off the list price it carried before the new M5 model launched…and you certainly aren’t getting one of those at a price like this. While it has been selling for less than the original MSRP as of late, this model would still have costed over $2,000.
Just for comparison’s sake, Best Buy is charging $1,980for the 11-inch 2TB Cell model without the nano-texture glass upgrade right now. With it, this unit would cost you $2,199 there.
