Apple’s latest Intel Mac mini has dropped to one of the best prices yet at $529

As part of its Mega DealZone, B&H offers the previous-generation late 2020 Apple Mac mini i3 3.6GHz/8GB/256GB for *$529 shipped*. Having originally sold for $799, we’ve more recently been tracking a $699 going rate with today’s offer marking the second-best price to date. Compared to the new M1 models, you’ll save $130 from the entry-level machine.

While it’s not the latest offering that arrives with Apple Silicon under the hood, the now previous-generation Mac mini arrives with much of the same compact footprint. As the most recent Intel iteration of the machine, you’re looking at a 3.6GHz processor, four Thunderbolt 3 ports, as well as two USB 3.1 Type-A slots, HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet, and more. For those in the market for an affordable entry point into the macOS ecosystem, today’s deal is certainly worth a look whether it’s for a family desktop or setting up a Plex server.
