Why you should buy the Apple Mac mini M2

We tagged the Apple Mac mini M2 Pro as “the best mini computer ever” in our review of the machine, which also sits on top of our list of the best mini PCs. The impressive performance also applies to the Apple Mac mini M2, and with one of our recommended configurations of an eight-core CPU, a 10-core GPU, and 16GB of RAM, the mini computer will be able to keep up with most of your daily activities. It won’t have any trouble multitasking between apps, and it will be powerful enough to smoothly run Final Cut Pro and Xcode, among other software — all within such a compact size.

To connect the Apple Mac mini M2 to your monitor, internet, and other devices, it features two Thunderbolt 4 ports, two USB-A ports, an HDMI port, an Ethernet port, and a headphone jack. However, even with a complete setup and hours of usage, the Apple Mac mini M2 remains quiet and cool, so you don’t have to worry that it won’t be able to last through long working days.

If you want a mini PC, you can’t go wrong with the Apple Mac mini M2, especially if you’re able to take advantage of the $130 in savings that’s offered by B&H Photo Video. You’ll only have to pay $869 for this configuration with the eight-core CPU, 10-core GPU, and 16GB of RAM, instead of the sticker price of $999. You need to be quick though, as the stocks that are up for sale are limited. The price of the Apple Mac mini M2 may be back to normal sooner than you think, so you have to complete your transaction to secure your own immediately.

A 13-year-old boy in Hangzhou has already won national AI competitions and built a following of more than 136,000 people online, all while his dad tries to figure out how to guide him through a field that barely existed when he himself was growing up. That family's situation, first reported by Rest of World, says a lot about where China's tech industry is heading right now.

Companies used to wait for graduates to walk through the door. Now they're reaching further back, first to undergrads, and increasingly to teenagers, hoping to spot rare talent before anyone else gets to them.
