Amazon is now offering the latest M2 Mac mini for $499 shipped. The perfect discount to upgrade your workstation at the start of the year, today’s sale arrives from its usual $599 going rate. This is $100 off and marking the second-best price we’ve seen at within $20 of the all-time low. We’ve only seen it sell for less twice before, and that was over the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales event. The elevated 512GB SSD model is also on sale at $689.99, down from its $799 price tag. Over at 9to5Mac, we detail what to expect from the experience in a hands-on review. We also take a closer look at what these Mac mini deals deliver below the fold.
