Apple updated its Mac Mini with M2 hardware at the beginning of this year, with options to stick with the M2 chip or upgrade to M2 Pro. The baseline option with M2 chip and 256GB of solid state drive (SSD) storage (featured above) packs an 8-core CPU, a 10-core GPU, and 8GB of unified memory. If 256GB isn’t enough, the 512GB option is on sale for $689.99, down from its $799 OG price. Ethernet, two Thunderbolt 4 ports, an HDMI port, and two USB-A ports let you plug anything your heart desires into this powerful machine.

Hook a Mac Mini up to a 4K monitor or stick with the Apple ecosystem and pair it with the Apple 32-inch Pro Display, our favorite professional monitor for graphic design. You’ll be cutting through large files, videos, and photos like butter.

This is the lowest price we’ve seen the Mac Mini M2 this year, so snag it before the deal ends. While you’re at it, pick up a pair of Apple AirPods (2nd Generation), AirPods Pro (2nd Generation), or AirPods Max, all of which are on sale, too.

If you’re looking for more processing power specifically for gaming, check out the HP Victus 15.6″ Gaming Laptop, which has a powerful AMD Ryzen 7 5800 processor and a thermal design that keeps your laptop cool when the boss battle heats up. It’s on sale at a cool 20% discount, down from $1,099.99 to $884.
