Apple's M1 system-on-a-chip integrates the CPU, GPU, RAM and other components for greater power and efficiency, but the downside of this integration is the lack of DIMM slots that would allow you to add additional RAM after purchase. And unlike in most other desktops, the Mac Mini's RAM is not user-upgradable. One benefit of paying full price and buying from Apple, however, is you can customize the machine and add more RAM or a higher-capacity SSD, whereas the models sold on Amazon and other retailers are fixed configurations. Both models are currently on sale at Amazon for all-time low prices. You can get discounts on both the 256GB model and the 512GB model right now for lower prices than you can at the Apple Store. The step-up model costs $899 from Apple and doubles the storage capacity to 512GB. The baseline model of the M1-based Mac Mini costs $699 from Apple and features 8GB of RAM and a 256GB solid-state drive.
#Cheap mac mini memory update#
It didn't get the M1X update that the 14-inch MacBook Pro and 16-inch MacBook Pro did last fall, but the Mac Mini remains the company's least expensive MacOS computer and is selling at considerable discounts at Amazon right now. The Mac Mini, along with the more mobile MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro, was one of the first Apple computers to ditch Intel silicon in favor of Apple's impressive M1 processor.
