Apple’s Mac Mini is a compact yet powerful machine that is popular among podcasters and content creators. The most recent model comes with Apple’s M2 chip, offering impressive performance. The 256GB model is priced at $599, while the 512GB model starts at $799, both of which are currently available at a $50 discount. There is also an upgraded model featuring a Pro-level chip starting at $1,299, with a $50 discount on the 1TB solid-state drive model.
B&H is currently offering discounts on the Mac Mini, but buying directly from Apple allows for customization options, such as adding more RAM or a higher-capacity SSD. The models sold by other retailers come in fixed configurations, and the Mac Mini’s RAM is not user-upgradable due to the integration of components in the M2 system-on-a-chip. Students can benefit from an educational discount at the Apple Store, saving $100 on a new Mac Mini and receiving discounted upgrades, such as doubling the RAM to 16GB for $180.
Refurbished Mac Minis may be found on Apple’s Certified Refurbished Mac page, offering substantial savings compared to new models. It is advisable to avoid older Intel-based Mac Mini variants and look for refurbished M2 models at lower prices. Regularly updating, the best prices currently available for Apple’s Mac Mini are listed, showing discounted rates for various configurations. The Mac Mini features Thunderbolt 4 ports, USB-A ports, HDMI port, Gigabit Ethernet port, and a headphone jack, offering a range of connectivity options for users.
The step-up Mac Mini model with a 512GB SSD provides increased storage capacity that most users will find beneficial. With savings available at B&H, the Mac Mini with this configuration is currently priced lower than its list price.
