After weeks of rumors and speculation, Apple announced an updated Mac mini with the M2 and M2 Pro chips today. The new Mac mini has the same design as previous models, but comes with several additional features and changes.
Below, we've outlined a few of the most notable new features, changes, and details regarding the new Mac mini.
M2 models of the new Mac mini come with 8GB of unified memory as standard, but can be configured with 16GB or 24GB memory options. Mac mini models with M2 Pro come with a standard 16GB of unified memory, with an option to upgrade to 32GB of memory.
M2 models of the new Mac mini come with 256GB of SSD storage with 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB options. M2 Pro models come with 512GB of storage as standard and options of 1TB, 2TB, 4TB, and 8TB.
Mac mini models with M2 Pro support up to three external displays, with two displays at 60Hz over Thunderbolt and one additional display of up to 4K resolution over HDMI. With one display connected to the Mac mini, it can support up to 4K resolution at 240Hz over HDMI.
Mac mini models with M2 Pro come with two additional Thunderbolt 4 ports on the back. Both the M2 and M2 Pro models have an Ethernet port, HDMI, two USB-A ports, and a headphone jack.
For the first time in a Mac, the new Mac mini and MacBook Pro support Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3.
The new Mac mini, alongside the updated 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros, are available for pre-order starting today and will begin arriving to customers on Tuesday, January 24.
Did the prices drop on the 8/256 and 8/512 mini? I swore a 16/512 model was $1099 for the M1. Configures as $999 with the M2. and for $300 you can get an M2 Pro with 2 additional thunderbolt ports. Not bad.
