Amazon now has Apple’s M2 Mac mini back in stock, and better yet with a discount attached. Now selling for $479 shipped, the entry-level 256GB/8GB configuration is dropping from its usual $599 price tag. It’s $120 off and marking the best we’ve seen in over a month. You can also save even more on the elevated 512GB model at $699, down from $799. This is a new all-time low, and the savings are matched over at B&H on both models. Over at 9to5Mac, we detail what to expect from the experience in a recent hands-on review. We also take a closer look below the fold, while detailing some other models on sale.
Apple’s M2 Mac mini refreshes a beloved form-factor to feature its now previous-generation in-house silicon. So while this isn’t powered by the new M3 chip, it does mark the latest release from Apple in the lineup. 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 dual Thunderbolt 4 ports, a pair of USB-A slots, an HDMI output, and Gigabit Ethernet. You’ll also find Wi-Fi 6E, and at least an 8-core CPU backed by a 10-core GPU and at least 256GB of storage.
As far as desktop form-factors go, we’re also still tracking a chance to save on the original Mac Studio. It’s seeing a clearance offer down to the lowest price we’ve ever seen at $1,499. This is still in a class all its own compared to the Mac mini, but is justifying the clearance wording with $500 in savings attached. You’re looking at far more capable performance than its compact counterpart, too.
