For a short while, and exclusive to Prime members (yes, even those who are free-trialing for 30 days), the 2024 Mac Mini M4 is discounted to its all-time lowest price of $499 after coupon redemption on Amazon, down from $599.

In the latter half of Prime Day 2025, I might have just found the best desktop deal yet. Even among our top deals on all sorts of products, the Apple Mac mini with M4 chip is a genuine standout. Prime Day just brought it down to the lowest price we've ever seen, currently available for an astounding $500 after a coupon on Amazon.

But whatever the company does, the 13-inch MacBook Air is still a great all-rounder and a good combination of size and speed for people whose laptop is a purely portable computer that floats from room to room in their house rather than traveling for work or getting docked on a desk.

That’s exactly what’s happening right now with the new 2025 MacBook Air, released in March. The 256GB version launched at $999 but for Prime Day, Amazon has dropped the price to $849. This is not only the lowest price ever for this model, but it’s also half the price of the least expensive MacBook Pro which starts at $1,699

Apple develops a wireless Mac update system for sealed retail boxes, eliminating the frustrating out-of-box software updates that occur at Apple Stores.

It’s a pretty common experience to have to download and install a big operating system update as the very first thing when you unbox your brand new device. It’s not great, especially when the setup and restore process is already a lengthy one and you just want to use your new Mac already.
