Let me know when they have the 16 GB ram models on sale.
Exactly. The big disadvantage of purchasing Apple products on Amazon (or at Best Buy, etc) is that they have only a few configurations available. If that works for you, then it's good, but if not then you have to purchase from Apple itself, often as a build-to-order.

But this is a great price, nevertheless!
 
The base model is still way better than my Mac mini (late 2018) Core i7 model. It has 32GB of RAM and an eGPU (Radeon 570 4GB) attached to it as well, the M1 murders it. Great deal.

Why aren't 16GB models available elsewhere like Amazon? Not just mini, air too.

Maybe Apple wants to protect margins on the higher spec machines. This way they channel cost sensitive customers to lower spec parts to retain more margin.

I’ve yet to see any deals offered for a 16GB version. That price is great for the 8GB though— that’s a $257 savings versus the 16GB BTO from the Apple Store (w/ Education discount).
 
I would pull the trigger on this deal, but I need 16GB. The small SSD doesn't scare me away though
 
Hmmm ... nice timing! My Dad's Mac mini bit the dust over the weekend. Might be a cheap switch out for me and just claim I fixed it for him. :p

I don’t think we’ll ever really see the 16GB upgraded models here, more like adorama or other sites that actually get some BTO models. I’d like a 16GB 256GB model for sure to upgrade some zoom rooms. and near this price would be great.
 
I think most advanced users would prefer 16GB of RAM rather than a larger SSD. I never use the system drive on my computers for data storage,.
