B&H is now offering the best prices yet on Apple’s latest M2 Mac mini. The best place for most to start is going to be with the baseline M2 Mac mini 256GB at $499 shipped. Now clocking in at $100 off the usual $599 price tag, there is nothing entry-level about the performance of this compact machine. It’s matching our previous mention from July and arriving at $50 lower than Prime Day. 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.

This discount lands just a day after our report that Apple would be bringing USB-C to AirPods Pro 2 next month, but those who aren’t picky about the port can save ahead of time.

Outfitting the front door with smart home control, the Yale Assure Lock 2 features quite a few different ways to unlock. There’s notably a touchscreen or push button design that offers a manual way to punch in codes, which is joined by all of the smart features. HomeKit and Siri support are two easy headliners, but there’s also compatibility with the companion smartphone app, too. All of which let you ditch traditional keys from the equation. Different from the original model, there’s now a more compact module that installs on the back of your door and is 30% smaller than before. You can learn more in our launch coverage, too.
