Apple just launched its new M2 Mac mini earlier in the year, and while we’ve seen a few discounts go live here and there, those have mostly been on the baseline configurations. Amazon today is now delivering a chance to save on the more capable M2 Pro model, dropping Apple’s most compact macOS machine to $1,249.99 shipped. That’s $49 off the usual $1,299 going rate and only the second discount to date on this configuration. We saw it land at this price back as February came to an end, but this is the only other discount so far.
Apple’s all-new M2 Mac mini refreshes a beloved form-factor to feature its latest-generation of in-house silicon. There’s that same compact build that has made previous versions so popular amongst first-time Mac owners, as well as streamlined workstation users and homelabbers alike. The improved performance of the M2 chip also pairs with four Thunderbolt 4 ports, a pair of USB-A slots, an HDM output, and Gigabit Ethernet. You’ll also find Wi-Fi 6E, and an 10-core CPU backed by a 16-core GPU and 512GB of storage. We also just took a hands-on look at the performance of Apple’s new machine over at 9to5Mac, too.
If you don’t need the more capable M2 Pro chip that’ll be even more of a compelling pick for professional tasks, the baseline M2 Mac mini really is the best value in all of computing right now. Being able to bring home the latest in Apple Silicon alongside all of other perks of the mini yet mighty machine for just $580 right now is hard to argue with whether you’re looking for your first Mac or just to refresh an existing setup.
