The exception here is the latest M4 Mac mini \u2013 while prices have jumped back up on most configurations at Amazon now, B&#038;H has just brought back the $100 price drop on what is, in my opinion, one of the more compelling configs you can buy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-1190498\"\/><\/p>\n<p>B&#038;H is now once again offering the M4 Mac mini with 24GB of RAM and the 256GB SSD down at <strong>$699 shipped<\/strong>. This is a regularly $799 configuration when purchased from Apple that is now seeing the same $100 price drop we featured last go around.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As a quick reminder, you can\u2019t buy this official configuration from most major retailers like Amazon and Best Buy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now, you might be asking how a 256GB Mac mini could be one of the most compelling options for me, and understandably so \u2013 that is a seriously underwhelming amount of internal storage.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>My response here is this \u2013 we are looking at the most affordable Mac mini config you can buy with the upgraded 24GB of RAM. As I have detailed previously, this is where I like to invest when it comes to Apple upgrades. I would much prefer a 512GB or 1TB internal storage setup, but considering how pricey it costs to upgrade these things on a Mac mini, it\u2019s matter of picking your battles here and for me I would much rather land the RAM horsepower, save some cash, and leverage some external storage to help the cause on the backend.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The least expensive 24GB Mac mini you can buy on Amazon carries a $999 list price and is currently selling for $929.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It is, perhaps, not an ideal choice for everyone, and the base model Mac mini is just fine for many, but for me this is a great way to save some cash and score an upgrade and a more snappy Mac mini experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-m4-mac-mini-features\">M4 Mac mini features:<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>SIZE DOWN.
