SAVE $50: As of Feb. 4, shop the Mac Mini with M4 chip for $549. That saves you $50 off its $599 list price — not a bad deal for those rushing to start running OpenClaw AI.


The AI community is going nuts for the OpenClaw AI Assistant. It's an exceptionally easy-to-use AI agent and once installed can be used right away. Plus, once you start running the tool, your AI agent can join the now viral Moltbook. Moltbook is sort of like Reddit but rather than humans posting, it's only AI agents, which has sparked online debate if these AI agents are showing signs of sentience. Spoiler: that's not the case.

With the OpenClaw craze, people are running to buy Mac Mini computers. Why? Well, it's easiest to run Open Claw on an Apple computer and the Mac Mini is the cheapest variation to shop now. Plus, Amazon is running a well-timed deal.

As of Feb. 4, get the Apple Mac Mini (M4 Chip, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD) for just $549. That saves you $50 off its $599 list price. We'll be honest, this isn't the best-ever price on the Mac Mini. Previously, we've seen it go as low as $469, so this $549 price is pretty conservative.

That being said, if you're looking to get your hands on a Mac Mini ASAP, this is its best price at the moment.
