Previously cheapest Mac-mini was $599, M4 with 16GB RAM and 256 SSD. Apple removed the 256GB Option, so now the cheapest Mac-mini is now has 512GB SSD and MSRP of $799.

The Openclaw and personalized/proactive agents caused a sudden surge on Mac-Minis.

It remains unbelievable to me that people were rushing to buy an entire Mac Mini to run obscenely bloated software that ought to have been able to run on a Raspberry Pi.
