Apple’s Black Friday Mac mini deal is the lowest price it’s ever been
This could be the moment Apple fans have been waiting for. We’re tracking all the best Black Friday mini PC deals, and finally, our favorite unit is at its lowest ever price.
Yes, it might only be the 256GB model, but the Apple Mac mini M2 has price-dropped down from $600 to $500 at Amazon. That’s even cheaper than the older M1-powered Mac mini.
After testing out the best mini PCs around, it was the Mac mini M2 that came out top.
Although it’s barely the size of a coaster, the Mac Mini deserves its place given its stellar performance, which is due in no small part to Apple‘s homemade M2 silicon chip – in our Apple Mac mini review to be a significant improvement over the previous M1 CPU.
If you’re doing creative and design work, in our experience, the Mac mini is a stellar performer. In tests, it chomped through graphic design, photo editing and 8K video editing tasks with ease – and handled everyday office tasks effortlessly.
This model comes with 8GB of Unified Memory, as well as two USB-A ports and two Thunderbolt 4 ports, useful for connecting USB-C devices, including 6K monitors. An HDMI port also supports 8K monitors as well, and Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, Gigabit Ethernet, and a headphone jack also feature.
It’s fair to say that Macs often come at a premium, but the Mac Mini is the most affordable way to get into Apple’s computer hardware, without having to make onerous sacrifices.
The Mac mini M2 is also proving to be something of a business favorite, too. AWS recently deployed a whole fleet of Mac Mini M2 Pros for its EC2 customers to use, allowing them to build applications for Apple hardware. This showcases their potential for enterprise use.
In short, pretty much anyone could benefit from this small yet mighty Mini PC. Unless you require the capacity for upgrades, the Apple Mac Mini M2 (2023) is well worth it.
