The Mac mini M2 was released just a month ago, and it’s an attractive buy for longtime Intel Mac mini owners who haven’t upgraded to the M1. However, since it’s new, it’s hard to find deals on it, but if you get busy now, you can get the M2 Mac Pro mini with 16GB of storage and a 512GB SSD for $1,250 on Amazon – that’s a $49 savings and the lowest price that We can offer. seen so far. The standard M2 model also sells for $580, which is a $19 discount.

The model for sale is the high-end Mac mini configuration we reviewed back in January. In our testing, we found Apple’s claim of 20% and 30% CPU and GPU boosts (respectively) over the M1 Pro to be true, and that the M2 Pro Mac mini “absolutely smokes the Intel-based Mac mini it replaces “. It otherwise shares the same design as the Mac mini, with four Thunderbolt 4 ports, two USB-A ports, HDMI 2.1, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, Gigabit Ethernet, and a headphone jack.

Our only gripe with the M2 Pro Mac mini was its price—we think it’s a bit on the high side. But this Amazon deal makes the wallet a bit easier for a great Mac.
