Literally most of the people will be fine using a base mac mini with 16 gb ram. Unless you specifically want those extra CPU and GPU cores, and 8gb extra memory then you should choose this. I have been using base mac mini for months now with literally 100s of tabs open on brave, chrome, and firefox at the same time. Youtube constantly playing in the background as I work on my coding; I have never had an issue with 16 gb ram. Yes at times I have used 8gb swap, but closing browser and reopening again clears that issue in less than 10 seconds. I dont think its worth spending extra $500 for this model.

I am in the market for 64gb memory version (either mac pro or studio m4 max - not m3 ultra) specifically to run comfiUI and generate images locally and some qwen-coder like workflow. I just cant add that over the 100s of tabs from my brwosers. I am spending $2K on the new mac mini but I would not buy 24gb version at $1000. Not enough uplift from base mac mini to justify the pricetag.

My 2 cents

No, it has not. It was this price only once before, a few weeks ago, and it made it to the frontpage then.

If it was released for this price, I'd ditch my $499 M4 Mac mini. It's too late for me, but a great deal for most.

Assuming they have the same model with the exact same configuration, then yes they most likely would.

Is this such a better deal compared to the 449 Mac mini? I understand the primary difference is the pro processor, but it's more than double the price. Gotta be the 512 ssd.

No expert, but think it's good for power users / video editors. Casual users not so much

Anyone have success getting Best Buy to price match? They seem to claim that because you have to sign-in ("be a member") to see the price, they can't price match.

Are you a Micro Center member? Signed in to your account? It will probably show you non-member pricing if not.
