Apple’s new M6 Mac mini with boosted RAM and storage is $30 off in rare pre-order sale

The new M6 Mac Mini launches next week, and it’s already hard to find. The RAM storage hasn’t just pushed prices higher—it’s also causing stock shortages before it even goes on sale. But if you can wait until October, Amazon is selling the model with 24GB of RAM and 512GB of storage for $30 off, one of the only ways to get it for less than Apple’s $1,299 MSRP. Getting your order in early means you’re near the front of the line the moment these start shipping.

This little box is an amazing piece of technology. Running on the speedy M6 chip with a 12-core CPU and 12-core GPU paired with 24GB of unified memory and 512GB of storage, this computer will make it easy to handle absolutely all the apps you need for work or fun. From basic browsing to handling big projects, the Mac Mini can do it all with ease.

The M6 really shines when it comes to AI, handling AI workflows up to 4.8 times faster than before, according to Apple. This means that editing photos, cleaning up video, or running smart features will work so much faster now. Yes, even if you need help writing a cover letter for that new job you’re hoping to get. The mini PC features three Thunderbolt 4 ports, HDMI, and 2.5Gb Ethernet on the back, as well as two USB-C ports and a headphone jack in the front where you can reach them. This tiny computer can support up to three external displays, so you can multitask easily.

The Mac Mini M6 will be officially released on September 22, but Amazon seems to have it on backorder until late October. But nabbing a $30 discount will be worth the wait, so snatch this Mac Mini M6 pre-order while you still can.
