Mac mini (2023) M2 Pro review: an incredibly powerful desktop replacement
The latest line of Mac mini offers some of Apple's fastest chips making it an ideal replacement for iMac users
More processing power than you'll ever need ; Plenty of ports on the back for connections ; Takes up very little desk space
No SD card slot for photographers ; Would be nice to make the case a little smaller
The Mac mini 2023 is the perfect desktop replacement. It's small, portable and extremely fast. Having the computer separate from the monitor makes it an affordable upgrade for iMac users, or anyone with an external monitor and keyboard.

Apple Mac Mini M2 review (2023): more bang for fewer bucks
With its (slightly) more ‘mini' price, this entry-level Apple Mac with M2 silicon still packs a real punch
Powerful for the price ; Good connectivity options ; Mostly runs quiet – but not silent
No ports on the front ; RAM upgrades are ludicrously expensive
It’s great to see Apple’s cheapest Mac is now more powerful and more affordable – although the RAM upgrade pricing still stings.

Apple Mac mini (M2 Pro) review: Small but mighty
Want a taste of Apple Silicon? This is the most affordable way – as long as you already have your own monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
Well-built and extremely compact ; Excellent performance ; Quiet operation ; Many ports (for the M2 Pro version) ; Attractive starting price
No ports on the front ; No SD card slot ; Base configuration is lean ; Not upgradeable ; Can get pricey if you go crazy on options
The TL;DR version: A more powerful and capable Mac mini but at a lower price? What’s not to like? This is a no-brainer if you are looking for the most affordable way into a Mac.

Apple Mac mini (2023, M2 Pro) Review
With a new low price for the base model, and two peppy processor options, Apple's Mac mini offers a huge upgrade in capability while looking the same as ever. (Some good things don't need to change.)

Apple M2 Mac Mini review: Faster, cheaper, better
Apple's long-awaited addition of second-generation M2 chips to its Mac Mini line, along with a $100 price drop, makes a solid case for this new model being the computer to buy.
The below image best sums up why the M2 Mac Mini is such an easy recommendation. In the background is a "small form factor" PC I built myself a couple of years ago. In the foreground is the M2 Mac Mini. The PC I built cost around $1,500 at the time,...
