24-hour Flash Deal: Apple's Intel Mac mini discounted to $499

Daily Mac mini deal

The Apple DealZone at B&H Photo features the Intel Mac mini with a quad-core 3.6GHz Intel Core i3 processor with 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. Normally retailing for $799, the $300 discount is valid now through 11:59 p.m. Eastern on August 10, or while supplies last.

For those needing more than 8GB of memory, the Intel Mac mini supports up to 64GB of compatible RAM, such as these kits from B&H or RAM from OWC directly. Here's a DIY tutorial to see if the upgrade process is right for you.

In addition to the $300 price cut, Payboo cardholders in eligible states can save on sales tax, putting another $40 back in your wallet on average.

To put the DealZone discount in perspective, this offer is $135 cheaper than the cheapest M1 Mac mini.
