Why the Apple Mac Mini M2 is best for casual users and students
Apple’s refreshed the Mac Mini last year and gave it a brand-new and powerful M2 or M2 Pro chipset (review) built in a new and smaller 5 nm node process, meaning it packs more transistor count in the same tiny box.
With the base chip itself, it is configured with up to 8-core processor and 10-core GPU to support photo editing and gaming. There is up to 24 GB of unified RAM that should be more efficient and outputs lower latency and higher bandwidth when multitasking.
The Apple Mac Mini M2 comes with a wide array of ports and connectivity. At the back, there are full-sized USB alongside a pair of Thunderbolt 4-ready USB-C ports, Ethernet, and a headphone jack. A faster and more secure Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 are also integrated.
The Mac Mini M2 can be connected to two monitors simultaneously, one with up to 6K resolution and one with 5K through the Thunderbolt ports. But you can also utilize the HDMI together with the USB-C. Plus, the tiny PC also features a built-in speaker.
