The Mac mini M4 is my go-to Mac and it's selling at its lowest price to date
I've been using my Mac mini M4 since late November. Not only is it my favorite Mac of all time, but we named this Editor's Choice machine the best mini PC for just about anyone. Memorial Day may be over, but right now you can score the amazing Mac mini M4 for just $499 at Amazon. (Make sure to click the on-page digital coupon to get this price). That's the lowest price I've seen for the base configuration, which offers more than enough power for most people. No more running away from Apple's base model Mac mini. The M4 Mac mini packs an awesome M4 chip along with a doubling of RAM to 16GB and a 256GB SSD. Port array continues to be impressive with Thunderbolt 4, HDMI, Ethernet, and more. In our Apple Mac mini M4 review we said the Editor's Choice machine is as close to perfect as it gets. Note: Click the on-page digital coupon to get this price. This deal is for the base model with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of SSD storage. However, the more powerful Mac mini M4 Pro is also on sale for $1,237 at Amazon. Just keep in mind that the M4 Pro model has been as cheap as $1,173 in the past, so while you're saving $162 right now, it's the base model that's the better value. The Mac mini M4 is one of our favorite mini PCs thanks to Apple's powerful M4 chipset, along with the fact that the base model Mac mini now comes with 16GB of RAM. At 5 inches wide, 5 inches deep and 2 inches tall this is Apple's smallest Mac yet — which makes it perfect for any desk setup, especially when you're short on space. The biggest change besides the new M4 chip and RAM upgrade is that you now have two USB-C ports along with a headphone jack on the front of the device. This means you won't have to pull your computer out every time you want to plug in a new device or listen to music with wired headphones. In our Mac mini M4 review, we said the base model is an absolute powerhouse with a 10-core CPU, 10-core GPU, and a 16-core Neural Engine for Apple Intelligence and other AI-related tasks. We got it working with three external displays and even when driving all those extra pixels, it didn't miss a beat. Back to school season is right around the corner, but this is one deal I don't recommend waiting on.

Hurry! Epic Steelcase sale knocks up to 25% off ahead of Memorial Day
The weekend is right around the corner and there are hundreds of Memorial Day sales to choose from right now. However, one of my favorite deals right now slashes the price on some of the best office chairs and standing desks we've tested. Through May 29, Steelcase is taking up to 25% off its ergonomic chairs and adjustable desks. It's the biggest Steelcase sale I've seen all year with generous discounts sitewide. For example, the Sit-to-Stand Desk is on sale from $467. I've been using my Steelcase Sit-to-Stand Desk for eight months and I love its wide/sturdy workspace, quiet motor, and its sturdy design, which doesn't wobble when the desk is set to its highest level of 48.7 inches. It also looks great in just about any room. Note: These are the starting prices and additional features/upholstery will increase the cost of your chair/desk. The Series 2 is a highly adjustable task chair designed to fit the tightest budgets. It features back support, 4-dimensional arm support/ergonomics, recline adjustments, and more. Unlike the Series 1, the overall back width and height on the Series 2 is slightly larger. I've been using the Steelcase Sit-to-Stand Desk for several months. It has a quiet motor, wide/sturdy workspace, and solid construction that doesn't wobble when the desk is set to its highest level of 48.7 inches. It's available in various finishes and in two different sizes. The Steelcase Karman is unlike any chair we've tested. It's extremely light, remarkably comfortable, and offers excellent ergonomic support. In our Steelcase Karman review we said the Editor's Choice chair goes beyond what mesh office chairs offer thanks to Steelcase's proprietary Intermix textile which responds and adapts to your body's movements throughout the day. The Steelcase Gesture features 360-degree arms, a contoured back, and multiple adjustments designed to shape your posture. The chair's 3D LiveBack design also mimics the spine's full range of motion providing additional support no matter how you move.
