Amazon has rolled out notable discounts this weekend on several recent Apple desktops. The headline savings involve the freshly released M6 Mac mini—marked down by up to $149—alongside a $200 cut on the higher-end M5 Max Mac Studio. Bargain hunters will find value across two tiers of the Mac mini and a beefy Studio configuration.
Big Savings on Mac mini
The 16-GB RAM and 256-GB SSD version of the M6 Mac mini is currently available for $779.99, a reduction of $119 off its standard price. For those wanting more storage, the 512-GB SSD variant in the same configuration is priced at $949.99, which is a $149 cut. These deals apply to the M6 chip lineups, targeting users interested in compact desktops with strong efficiency and performance.
Power-User Deal With Mac Studio
For users who need more graphical and processing power, the M5 Max Mac Studio hits the mark. A version with 36 GB RAM and a 512 GB SSD is now listed at $2,299—$200 less than its regular price of $2,499. That configuration is particularly attractive for creative professionals or anyone pushing demanding workflows.
These deals are part of a weekend promotion and may fluctuate as retailers adjust inventory. They represent some of the best pricing so far on these Apple desktops, especially for the newer M6 Mac mini.
What this means: Seeing discounts this substantial on recent Apple releases suggests retailers are getting aggressive ahead of the holiday shopping season. For buyers who can wait, it may pay off to watch for even steeper markdowns as sales events ramp up. If you’re after performance, the higher tier Studio deal likely delivers greater value—but for users with lighter needs, the Mac mini models are solid and much more affordable now.
