Mac mini (M2 base)
The Mac mini (M2, Late 2023) is Apple’s compact desktop refresh built around its second-generation M2 system-on-a-chip. The base Mac mini with M2 (8-core CPU, 10-core GPU, 8 GB–24 GB unified memory) really shines for anyone who wants a quiet, compact Mac desktop without paying for the higher-end M2 Pro/Max silicon. It’s a good fit for students and educators, home office and remote workers, casual creatives and developers on a budget. It’s compactness and low noise are standout features.
