The best Mac mini deals this month

Apple announced Mac mini models with M2 and a brand new Mac mini with M2 Pro back in January 2023. Since the standard model already has a low price we don’t tend to see huge discounts.

Apple introduced the M3 and M3 Pro chips at the end of October 2023. While not yet in the Mac mini, it probably won’t be long until Apple updates the M2 and M2 Pro Mac mini to take advantage of these new chips. Read about what’s next for the Mac mini here: M3 Mac mini: Everything you need to know.

If you want a new Mac mini you don’t have to pay full price-we’ve scoured the web for the best cut-price deals for a Mac mini so you can save money on a new Mac.

If you’d like some help choosing the best Mac for you, read our Mac buying guide where we cover all the models. We also have a review of the M2 Pro Mac mini.

Amazon also has a certified refurbished store for Apple products but we would advise against buying any products that are older than five years - most of the products we see on the Amazon refurbished store are unfortunately very old. Another place to look is BackMarket US and BackMarket UK, which sells refurbished Macs and other Apple products. We also recommend Hoxton Macs in the U.K.
