Best Mac deals

The Mac mini M4 has changed the way I work. It’s lightning fast and allows me to open multiple apps and windows without so much as a hint of lag. Meanwhile, my MacBook Air is a must when I travel. It’s portable, compact, and powerful for just about anything I may need to take care of while on the road.

Right now, Best Buy has the Mac mini M4 on sale for $499. If you prefer a MacBook, Best Buy also has the 13-inch MacBook Air (M4) on sale for $799 or the 15-inch MacBook Air (M4) for $999. These are the best MacBook deals I’ve seen all year and I can’t recommend them enough.

Apple Mac mini (M4): was $599 now $499 at Best Buy
No more running away from Apple’s base model Mac mini. The M4 Mac mini packs that awesome M4 chip along with a doubling of RAM to 16GB and a 256GB SSD. Port array continues to be impressive with Thunderbolt 4, HDMI, Ethernet and more. In our Apple Mac mini M4 review we said the Editor’s Choice machine is as close to perfect as it gets.

Lowest Price!Apple 13″ MacBook Air (M4): was $999 now $799 at Best Buy
The new MacBook Air is powered by Apple’s latest M4 chipset. It upgrades the camera from 1080p to 12MP with Center Stage support. The M4 chipset also supports dual external monitors, even when you have the laptop’s lid open. It packs a 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display (2560 x 1664), Apple’s M4 CPU w/ 10-core GPU, 16GB of RAM, and 256GB SSD. In our MacBook Air M4 review, we said the Editor’s Choice laptop is irresistible thanks to its speedy performance, sharper camera, and lower starting price.

Lowest Price!Apple 15″ MacBook Air (M4): was $1,199 now $999 at Best Buy
Prefer a bigger screen? The 15-inch model is also on sale. It packs a 15.3-inch Liquid Retina display (2880 x 1864), Apple’s M4 CPU w/ 10-core GPU, 16GB of RAM, and 256GB SSD.

So what’s so great about these Macs? Well, the Mac mini M4 is in my opinion probably the best value Mac Apple has ever produced. It’s a beast of a machine and the base configuration provides more than enough power for work, play, and everything you can throw at it. In our Apple Mac mini M4 review, we said the Editor’s Choice machine is as close to perfect as it gets.

If you prefer a laptop, the MacBook Air M4 is a compact powerhouse you can take on the road. In our MacBook Air M4 review, we said the Editor’s Choice laptop packs a gorgeous display and fast M4-driven performance. You can opt for the 13-inch model or the 15-inch model.

All three Macs are currently at their lowest price ever. They each pack Apple’s M4 chipset, 16GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD.
