When I’m not writing fine words for fine websites, I’m usually giving my Macs an absolute kicking: I do a lot of work in Logic Pro X and often end up with projects containing stacks of tracks and every plugin imaginable. And the heavyweight Mac I do that on is… aMac mini. I’ve just swapped my M1MacBookPro for the M2 Pro mini and I couldn’t be happier with it.
The M2 Mac mini is a superb computer, and it’s just got cheaper. AO.com iscurrently selling the 256GB version with £50 off, bringing it down to just £599, and the first refurbished M2s arestarting to appearin theAppleRefurbished Store too. The same Mac mini there is £100 off.
If you’re a Costco member or are friendly with one, keep an eye on their listings too: their Apple deals come and go but are often very good. There was a recent deal on the M2 Pro Mac mini that took a big chunk off the RRP, so if you’re not in a rush you might want to wait for that one to return.
What’s so great about the Mac mini?
I reckon there are two key things that make the Mac mini a great buy. One, the price: it’s much cheaper than aniMacorMacBook Air. And two, everything else.
I’m not kidding. It’s a fantastic computer. And if you spend a bit more on the M2 Pro, which is the version I have, it’ll be the only Mac you need for years to come. In ourM2 Mac mini reviewwe gave it the full five stars: it’s “the perfect desktop replacement… small, portable and extremely fast.”
The downside, of course, is that you only get the computer. The keyboard, monitor and mouse are up to you. But I like that, because it gives you much more flexibility than an all-in one or a laptop with an external monitor. And if you already have those things, then you’re not paying for features you already have.
If you decide the mini is for you, check out ourMac mini deals pageto see if there are any other good discounts out there – but make sure you check the fine print, as there are still quite a few older minis in retail. For example, today Very is offering Mac minis for as little as £549, but that low price is for the 2020 M1, not the more powerful M2.
