The standard personal computing system for most adults is a laptop. That makes sense as it’s a portable form factor that you can take with you and use anywhere. Though, not everyone needs that flexibility and might be better off with a desktop solution for a fraction of the price. A desktop also provides you with a consistent experience that you can built upon and perfect. If you have a home office, you might want to set yourself up with a fancy keyboard or multiple monitors to feel more productive. You can do just that with the Mac Mini. Right now, Amazon even has it going for a discount.

The 2026 Apple Mac Mini desktop computer comes in a few different configurations, each of them being discounted for between 11% and 14% off. You have a choice of different amounts of RAM and storage. At the cheapest level, you can pick up the 16GB of memory with 256GB of storage model which normally sells for $899. It’s currently $120 off, bringing the price down to just $779.

If you need a bit more room to save photos, videos, and file types, you can upgrade to 512GB (still with 16GB of RAM). That model is now $150 off, bringing the price down from $1,099 to just $949. For an extra boost to memory, the 24GB of RAM with 512GB of storage model has also dropped by $150. That one used to be $1,299 but you can now get it for only $1,149.

Small But Powerful

The 2026 Mac Mini comes in a tiny chassis, only measuring two inches tall and just five inches in both width and depth. It takes up hardly any room on your desktop, especially compared to a PC tower. The M6 chipset is quick at everything it does, coming in at as much as 4.8 times faster than the M4 chip.

The Mac Mini comes with all the ports you need. The front end has two USB-C ports which you can use to connect to accessories like a mouse or keyboard as well as flash storage devices like an external SSD or USB stick. You also get an AUX port if you prefer connecting with wired headphones.

On the reverse side, you’ll find three Thunderbolt 4 ports—one of which is also capable of power delivery and can be used to charger devices. It also has an HDMI port which can be used to connect to you display of choice. Between the HDMI and the Thunderbolt 4 ports, you can connect to up to three screens at once. You also get a 2.5Gb Ethernet port.
