The complete Mac Mini M2 shopping guide (2023)
<p>The new Mac Mini is a very good computing device. It’s relatively cheap, efficient, and powerful. Because they’re at the top of the value proposition in these days, the amount of “which should I pick” moments on Reddit and Twitter (RIP to both, get Lemmy and Mastodon) have left me with some notes that I want to share as a shopping guide.</p>
<p>The Mac Mini models you should aim to buy are four. You can hop into the section you’re interested based on your budget, and then get into the accessories part.</p>
<ul>
<li>Mac Mini 8GB / 256GB ($599) ($499 for Education)</li>
<li>Mac Mini 16GB / 256GB ($799) ($679 for Education)</li>
<li>Mac Mini 24GB / 512GB ($1,199) ($1,059 for Education)</li>
<li>Mac Mini 32GB / 512GB ($1,699) ($1,559 for Education)</li>
</ul>
<blockquote>
<p>At time of writing, Apple is offering a mail-in $100 gift card. If you qualify for education pricing, this is a great opportunity to buy one!</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Before digging in, let me warn you on three important things:</p>
<p><strong>Don’t pick a Mac Mini if you need portability</strong>. You will work better with a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro. If you’re extremely mobile, an iPad will cost less, and probably offer a better experience that shoving a Mac Mini into your backpack and look for a wall plug.</p>
