While many Apple deals focus on iPads or MacBooks, one of the unsung heroes in the Apple arsenal is the Apple Mac mini M2. Right now, you can buy it from Best Buy for $100 off, so it’s now $499 instead of $599. A fantastic option for someone who wants all the benefits of macOS without needing a laptop, it’s small enough to fit into pretty much any working environment even if you have a small apartment. Here’s what it has to offer for the exceptionally smart price.
Why you should buy the Apple Mac mini M2
If you’ve been reading through our Mac mini M2 buying guide, you’ll appreciate that whether to go Mac mini or MacBook can be a tough decision. That’s why we spent some time laying out why you should buy a Mac mini instead of a MacBook Air. On a simple level, the Mac mini is cheaper, supports more external displays, and has more ports.
This particular model of the Apple Mac mini M2 has an 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU. It also sports 8GB of memory and 256GB of SSD storage. That’s fairly basic stuff, but macOS runs efficiently so it doesn’t need too much memory or storage space to still run well. We reviewed the Mac mini M2 Pro and called it “the best mini computer ever,” with the standard Mac mini M2 still proving pretty potent.
