First launching at the start of the year, Amazon is now offering some of the first chances to save on the all-new M2 Mac mini. Delivering $50 in savings across two of the M2 configurations, right now pricing kicks off with the 256GB model resting at $549 shipped. That’s down from the usual $599 going rate in order to deliver the best price we’ve seen to date from the retailer. In fact, it is the retailer’s first chance to save, and only the second discount to date overall. The baseline M2 Mac mini with an elevated 512GB of storage is also on sale and marked down to $749 for the very first time, too. This $50 discount is a new all-time low.

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 dual Thunderbolt 4 ports, a pair of USB-A slots, an HDM 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 256GB of storage. Over at 9to5Mac, we detail what to expect from the experience, too.

Just launching at the beginning of the year, Apple refreshed its professional suite of MacBook Pros with a new class of M2 chips to deliver even better performance. Only a pair of launch discounts ended up going live back in January, but now the best price cuts yet have gone live for those who want to see what Apple’s latest has in-store without paying full price. Amazon today now offers the new 14-inch M2 Pro MacBook Pro 512GB for $1,799 shipped. You’d more regularly pay $1,999, with today’s offer delivering a new all-time low at $200 off. It’s an extra $150 below our previous launch offer and only the third chance to save.

Apple’s new MacBook Pro comes outfitted with the same form-factors as before, centered around a 14-inch Liquid Retina display. From there, you’re looking at mostly under the hood improvements that come centered around the latest in Apple Silicon. The M2 Pro processor powers the experience to make this Apple’s most capable portable MacBook yet. There’s up to 22-hour battery life and Wi-Fi 6E support for the first time to go alongside a new 8K HDMI output and three Thunderbolt 4 ports. There of course remains the SDXC slot on the side, as well as all of the other adjustments you can read about in our launch coverage  that also takes a deeper dive into the performance of the new M2 Pro chip.

Apple’s just-revealed M2 Mac mini is slated to begin arriving tomorrow, Now for those who haven’t already locked in their order on Apple’s most compact macOS machine, Adorama is stepping in to deliver the first price cut on the new release thanks to a promo code we break down below the fold. Right now the just-announced Apple M2 Mac mini starts at $549 shipped with that code found below. It’s a $50 price cut from the usual $599 going rate and matches the price cut we saw available in Apple’s education store. Though this is the first readily-available chance to save to date. There are also two other configurations landing at $100 off, which we detail after the jump with the code you need to redeem the deals.

Delivering better than Black Friday pricing, Amazon is now offering Apple’s latest M2 MacBook Pro 256GB for $1,099 shipped. Normally fetching $1,299, today’s offer is marking the first chance to save in over a month while delivering a new all-time low. The $200 discount clocks in at $50 below our previous Thanksgiving Week holiday pricing, too. Apple’s new M2 MacBook Pro just launched earlier in the summer as the latest entry-level prosumer-level macOS machine. This time around you’re looking at all of the performance improvements offered by the M2 chip and its 10-core GPU to go alongside upwards of 8GB of memory and at least 256GB of storage. The 13.3-inch Retina Display and its 500 nits of brightness with P3 wide color support are complemented by a pair of Thunderbolt ports, Wi-Fi 6, and the latest backlit Magic Keyboard. Head below for more.

Trusted retailer Expercom is now offering the Apple Mac Studio M1 Max 10-core 32GB for $1,799 shipped. Delivering a new all-time low just in time for the holiday season, you’re looking at $200 in savings from its usual $1,999 price tag. This is $50 under our previous mention from earlier in the fall and the first chance to save in months. Apple’s all-new Mac Studio arrives as the most powerful M1 machine yet thanks to a series of redesigns both inside and out. For starters, there is the much taller form-factor that sits in the same footprint as Apple’s other desktop headless Macs. That enables a wide array of I/O like four Thunderbolt ports, Gigabit Ethernet, 4K HDMI, and more. Then there’s the M1 Max chip and its 10-core design at the center of the package for improved performance. Dive into our hands-on review for a closer look.

After seeing the M1 Pro MacBook Pros go up for sale earlier in the week, Amazon is now marking down both of the newer M2 counterparts. Headlining the deals, Amazon offers Apple’s M2 MacBook Air 256GB for $1,049 shipped. Typically selling for $1,199, today’s offer is marking a return to the all-time low at $150 off. This is still one of the first times we’ve seen a price cut this steep and the best in over a month. The 512GB capacity is also on sale, and now sitting at $1,349.99 from its usual $1,499 going rate.

Apple’s all-new M2 MacBook Air comes powered by its latest in-house chip and pairs with a refreshed form-factor. The 13-inch Liquid Retina Display sports a 500-nit brightness to complete the P3 wide color support and pairs with a 1080p FaceTime camera with three-mic array and Spatial Audio-enabled speakers. Though the real highlight has to be the return of MagSafe charging, which pairs with other I/O like dual Thunderbolt ports.

Today, Apple is bringing the latest M1 Pro and M1 Max MacBooks to its official Certified Refurbished Storefront.

Although I have a TV, my 5K iMac’s display is the one that I use the most throughout the day. With this in mind, I’ve long wished for the ability to play game consoles directly on the 5K display.

An HDMI input option isn’t something you’ll find on any Mac, which obviously limits the the machine’s abilities in this area. Yet, there is one option — Elgato’s GameCapture HD60 S — for those of you wishing to showcase a game console, like the Nintendo Switch, on the iMac’s display.

Normally thought of for its capturing abilities, the HD60 S, which features superior low-latency properties, does a great job of displaying the Nintendo Switch in full screen 1080p at 60 fps. It’s not perfect, and it’s definitely not cheap, but it’s one of the best solutions that I’ve found for using the iMac as an external display. Have a look at our hands-on video walkthrough for more details on my setup.
