If you’re looking for a desktop Mac that brings power and performance without a high price, the M2 Mac mini is a fantastic option. And today’s sale is the lowest we’ve seen in more than a decade: Amazon is selling the M2 Mac mini with 256GB of storage for $500, a savings of $99 and the best price we’ve ever seen. The 512GB model is also on sale for $690, a savings of $190, and also an all-time low.
The M2 Mac mini looks the same as its M1 predecessor but has a faster chip, HDMI 2 for powering an 8K display, Wi-Fi 6E for faster Internet speeds, and Bluetooth 5.3. Like before, you also get a pair of Thunderbolt 4 ports and USB-A ports, all wrapped in a stunningly silent design that will look great on your desk.
Speaking of your desk, if you need a monitor to go with your new Mac, the 27-inch Studio Display is also on sale. Amazon is selling the Studio Display for $1,350, a savings of $249 and the best price we’ve seen. Along with a gorgeous design and stunning 5K monitor, the Studio Display has built-in speakers that support spatial audio and a 1080p webcam on board.
When the Mac mini launched in 2005, it was a tremendous value at $499, but the latest model hasn’t been that cheap since then. That makes Amazon’s sale a true throwback and the best Mac value you’re likely to find all year.
