SAVE UP TO $109: Both configurations of the new Apple Mac mini (M2 chip)(opens in a new tab) have hit new all-time-low prices at Amazon.
After spending 2022 adding M2 chips to its MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and iPad Pros, Apple finally got around to upgrading its Mac mini with that next-gen silicon earlier this year. The ultra-portable desktop computer now offers even zippier performance and support for up to two displays at its most affordable price yet: just $599 for the 256GB base model.
That's what it normally costs, to be clear. Hustle, though, and you can get it on sale as of April 5 for even cheaper: Amazon(opens in a new tab) just listed it for $499.99, a record-low price that appears to be an exclusive. (It wasn't matched at Best Buy(opens in a new tab) or B&H Photo(opens in a new tab) at the time of writing.)
If you need a bit more storage, note that Amazon also had the 512GB configuration(opens in a new tab) on sale. You can lock it in at $689.99, which is almost $110 off its $799 MSRP and its own lowest price to date.
As mentioned, Apple's upgrades for this new desktop are primarily internal; the Mac mini's boxy, rectangular look has gone virtually unchanged since it got a unibody redesign(opens in a new tab) in 2010. It now has an 8-core CPU with a 10-core GPU (up from an 8-core GPU in the M1 generation) for a bump in graphics performance when you're editing videos and playing games. It also adds an upgraded headphone jack and two Thunderbolt 4 ports for advanced connectivity(opens in a new tab).
These aren't massive, earth-shattering updates, but they definitely make it a worthy upgrade for any work-from-home setup — especially at these prices.
