Needless to say, you can bring the spend on the base model M4 Mac mini down to $349 with a trade-in of the base model M2 mini, and that’s frankly a wild price for a brand new M4 machine if you ask me.
Not only has Apple moved the base amount of RAM up in all the M4 computers, but it's retroactively moved up the M2 and M3 MacBook Air, without changing the prices.
