Mac Mini for sale: Amazon drops prices on new M6 models by up to $149 — $779.99 for 16GB/256GB, $949.99 for 16GB/512GB. Mac Studio M5 Max also discounted: $2,299 for 36GB RAM + 512GB SSD. Both deals live now on Amazon US. No Indian pricing or availability confirmed in reporting.
No UK or EU figures cited. These are not clearance units, Apple’s M6 Mac mini launched just weeks ago. The discounts apply only to the base and mid-tier M6 configurations. No M6 Pro or M6 Ultra variants appear in the deal list.
No mention of education pricing, bundle offers, or trade-in credits. Amazon’s listing shows standard shipping. No end date given. But MacRumors labels it a ‘weekend’ promotion, published Friday evening US time.
That suggests the offer may expire Sunday night, though Amazon has not confirmed a cutoff. The $779.99 price undercuts Apple’s $899 MSRP for the 16GB/256GB M6 Mac mini by $119. The $949.99 price for 16GB/512GB is $149 below Apple’s $1,099 sticker. For context: last year’s M4 Mac mini started at $599.
This year’s M6 jump pushed the entry point up, and now Amazon is softening that blow, at least for buyers who don’t need more than 16GB RAM or 512GB storage. The Mac Studio discount. $200 off the M5 Max 36GB/512GB model, mirrors the pattern: a targeted cut on a configuration that sits just below Apple’s high-end tier.
It’s the same spec that appeared in yesterday’s Mac Studio 2026 price drop story. But now confirmed as an active Amazon deal, not just a third-party listing. No other retailers are named in the report. No word on whether these are limited-quantity offers.
No indication this reflects broader channel inventory pressure, just a timed Amazon play ahead of Thanksgiving. Next step: watch for Black Friday ads. If Amazon holds these prices through November 28, they’ll be among the first major Mac discounts of the season.
