The new Mac Mini looks to be a big upgrade over the M1 version from 2020, but Apple has still managed to drop the starting price.
The Mac Mini was one of the first ever devices to move to Apple Silicon, having been equipped with the original M1 chip in 2020. Starting at $699/£699, it was a great way to get high-end performance without the price tag to match.
But with no new model for two years, there were rumours that Apple had cancelled the Mac Mini altogether. Fortunately, that hasn’t materialised, and the brand-new 2023 model looks like it’s been worth the wait.
Alongside upgrades to 2022’s M2 chip and the brand-new M2 Pro, Apple has managed to drop the starting price – both in the US and UK. Here’s everything you need to know.
Apple officially announced the 2023 Mac Mini via a press release on 17 January 2023. At the same time, the company also revealed a new MacBook Pro and the chips that power it – M2 Pro and M2 Max.
The device is now on sale, having been released on 24 January 2023.
