The first-ever Apple Mac mini M2 deal makes it an even better value
Still the best bang, and now for fewer bucks
Apple products seem to rarely go on sale, and even then, it's usually the older models that have already been refreshed. But right now, Amazon is offering the first Mac mini M2 and M2 Pro deals since the desktops launched.
The Apple Mac mini M2 is an excellent desktop PC with immense power in a very small package. This year's updated version received perfect marks from us, which is surprising considering it was a surprise launch. And the M2 Pro version offers even more power in that same tiny package. The Mac mini M2 starts at $579.99, and the M2 Pro version is down by $50 at Amazon.
If you need a small yet high-performance desktop machine, the Mac mini M2 or M2 Pro are great buys, especially with current discounts.
