Save up to $29: Apple only announced its new M6 Mac Mini a few days ago, but you can already save up to $29 off your new computer<\/a> when you preorder at Amazon.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tFrom $880 (Save up to $29)\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\tApple M6 Mac Mini\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

The entry-level Mac Mini comes with a new M6 chip with a 12-core CPU and 12-core GPU. 16GB of unified memory is included as standard, as is a 256GB SSD for storage. Alternatively, the upgraded model with 512GB of storage is available for $1,070<\/a> when you preorder at Amazon \u2014 the same model is $1,099 from Apple.<\/p>\n

Both models have Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6, new to the Mac Mini lineup with the M6 model. The new model also has three Thunderbolt 4 ports and an HDMI port. Another upgrade is the addition of a 2.5Gbps Ethernet port for fast wired networking. And all of this comes in the same compact design that has made the Mac Mini so popular with everyone from students to businesses running advanced AI workloads.<\/p>\n

Sure, these discounts aren\u2019t huge, but any money saved on a brand-new Apple product is a bonus \u2014 especially when that product hasn\u2019t even been released yet.<\/p>\n

Alternatives you might like<\/p>\n

The Mac Mini stands alone as a small yet powerful, fully-fledged computer, especially with the brand-new M6 chip. But it doesn\u2019t come with a display, and that can be an issue for some buyers. If that\u2019s you, the iMac may be a better buy. The M4 iMac is available from $1,424<\/a> currently, with the blue and silver models available for less than the other colors. It has a 24-inch display built right in, and it comes with a keyboard and mouse to boot.
