The new M4 Mac mini is exceptional value, but the line holding firm on pricing is an outlier for the firm that’s used to charging $700 for Mac Pro wheels on top of exorbitant RAM and SSD prices.

The New Mac mini starts at $599 and that’s a full $500 cheaper than the next least expensive Mac, the M2 MacBook Air. It’s about as low a price as Apple goes, but to use the Mac mini, you have to have accessories.
A display, keyboard, and mouse or trackpad are essential, and together, they can add up. Buying Apple’s lowest-cost options for these comes to $178 for a keyboard and mouse, plus $1,599 for a Studio Display.
