Why it matters
Best Buy marks that price as $150 off a comparable value. Best Buy does not say the higher figure was an earlier selling price, so treat the current price as the number to judge.
9to5Toys flagged the deal on Oct 19 and called it a rare one for the M4 model.
M4 or M6?
The M4 is the older chip. Our M6 Mac mini story covers the current model, with a 12-core CPU, a 12-core GPU, 16GB of memory and 256GB of storage. Its $779.99 price is Amazon's on Oct 17, a different retailer and day from this Best Buy price.
Buy the $649 M4 if you want a new Mac mini with the same 16GB and 256GB as that M6 configuration and want to spend $130.99 less.
Step up to the M6 if you want the current chip in the lineup and the extra $130.99 does not matter. If 256GB is too small, the 512GB M6 model was $949.99 on Amazon that day.
This M4 has 256GB of storage, and an external drive adds cost if you need more room. A new keyboard is a separate buy; see our Magic Keyboard story for that price.
