Discounted Mac Mini M4 renews the comparison with the M6

In its October 19 deals roundup, The Verge lists the base Mac Mini M4 at $649 at Best Buy as part of a one-day promotion. The configuration includes 16 GB of RAM and a 256 GB SSD. The article gives a regular price of $799.
The relevant comparison also includes the next generation. The Mac Mini M6 is listed at $779.99 at Amazon, against an initial price of $899. The Verge presents it as faster, but describes the design and ports of the M4 and M6 models as almost identical. In both cases, a keyboard, mouse, monitor and webcam must be supplied separately.
For a buyer, the trade-off described is therefore between the entry price and computing power. The similarity of the enclosure and connectivity does not, on its own, determine which generation would suit a given use. The supplied article contains no numerical performance measurements that would quantify this gap.
These prices apply to the named retailers and are in dollars. They do not establish a selling price in France. The stated duration of the Best Buy promotion also makes it advisable to check its availability at the time of purchase.
