M2 MacMini Pro Just Fine as pretty poweful desktop.

This replaced an 11 year old MacPro(trashcan). New MacPro's are out of my league cost wise and overkill for what do. This MacMini does everything I need for amature photography workflow and recreational editing of GoPro and Insta360 videos. Have yet to see anything I throw at it slow it down at all. As is standard with Apple, really easy to migrate from another Apple computer to this one.

Little footprint, BIG, BIG POWER.

From the moment I ordered this unit, I was treated like the "King" I envision myself to be. Buy with confidence . . . . I upgraded from an M1 iMac with 8 GIG of RAM to the Mac mini M2, with more cores than I seem to be able to count, and 32 GIG of RAM. I opted for the 1 TB of SSD space, I should have gotten 2 or greater with all the video files and parts that Final Cut Pro creates etc. Overall performance is superb. Far superior to my M1 iMac and much more so than my former work-horse, a Late 2012 -2.3 GHz i7 Intel Mac mini with 16 GIG RAM with SSD storage. Processing power, at this price point seems to be 2nd to none. This mini cuts thru FCPro rendering etc. better than a hot knife thru melted butter. If you like the simplicity of the Mac mini footprint, this is the model for you. I hope you find this helpful!.

The best price-to-performance for a Mac

This is the Mac to get. M2 CPU that will be very good for many years, 16GB of RAM (with Apple's optimization, this is even better than it seems), and a 512GB SSD. That's more than enough specs for your typical Creator's machine. I wouldn't get the 256GB because not only is it using a slower SSD, but that will fill up too quickly. 512GB is enough breathing room to work comfortably, and any other space needed can use an external SSD. There's always rumors that the Mac Mini will be discontinued, so get it while you can. A much better deal than a Macbook with the same specs.

Mac minor Apple's mistake.

Are used to work in manufacturing and design, looking at the Mac mini I can understand how APPLE could afford to give Tim an $800 million bonus It should never have had so few ports a gross mistake on APPLE's part.

Mac mini M2 chip 16 g

Adorama provided great service but this computer is rather slow for the tasks. I should've spent more money as 16GB RAM isn't near enough and I feel the M2 chip is overrated

Mac mini

Nice small footprint computer, extremely fast. The only thing it lacks is the camera and microphone, and poor sounding sound. Do miss the quality of the iMac display vs the LG and the speakers on the LG isn't near the quality of the iMac.

The Computer I Always Wanted

Best computer I have ever owned. I had the M1 Mac mini prior with 16gb of ram and 256gb Hard Drive. This will definetly last me for some years. The speed is amazing. I went with the 1tb hard drive because of the issue with the speeds of the two lesser sizes. Add the 30 GB's of RAM and my machine is blazing fast now. I use mainly for Studio One and when exporting files the time is a lot faster then on my M1.

Bang for your buck

The M2 is great, and a major step up from legacy MacBook Pro. I purchased an extra SSD to store large files. Seamless workflow for Adobe suite. For amateur/ semi-professional work I recommend this product.

Apple Mac Mini. Apple Mac Mighty

My second computer was an Apple II C (My first was a TRS80 Model 1). After that, I used MS Dos based computers for work. Later, I dabbled with a Mac Performa from Sears (!), but still did the majority of my work on a windows computer. Last year, I renewed my interest ion Mac with a refurbished 2015 Mac Mini i5 with 8GB of Ram and a 1 TB Hard Drive to store the photos from my wife's and mine iPhones. Clunky slow. This year, I upgraded to this M2. All I can say is wow. Fast. Easy to use. Compact (takes up little desk space). A major leap forward.

Perfect Mac Mini build and even better customer service!

What a perfect little powerhouse! I was recommended this version of the Mac Mini by an Apple Store employee who suggested I buy from Adorama. It's really rad that Adorama stocks these custom builds and ships so quickly! The order arrived perfectly packaged with all needed parts and no damage, and it arrived super fast. Since Apple doesn't stock these types of builds, I strongly recommend you grab your Mac Mini from Adorama if you want a more powerful machine within a few days rather than a few weeks. The customer service was also amazing. I wasn't aware of the rewards program until after I placed my order, and being the penny pinching vulture that I am, I reached out to see if I could retroactively have the purchase points added to my account. The service rep was prompt and helpful, and got me hooked up with my reward points. I am so grateful that the Apple employee recommended Adorama for my Mac Mini. I'll be using Adorama in the future for sure!

Big upgrade from the M1 Mac Mini

Big upgrade from my old M1 Mac Mini with 8GB RAM and 256GB of storage! I didnt necessarily need all of the extra storage (nice to have) but the 16GB RAM makes things run a LOT smoother. I run Firefox with 10 windows of 50+ tabs and dont get any sluggishness like I did before. Highly recommended!

Best Mac for non intensive work

Well, it's a Mac obvious. What I love about the Mac Mini compared to the previous model - more ports available. The price is excellent. I have had no problems hooking up my external monitor, apple wireless keyboard with Touch ID and wireless mouse, and it works well with my printe. I also love that the Mac Mini has a nice mix of available ports: HDMI, USB plus the Thunderbolt ports. No need for the more expensive desktops now. I am loving my Mac Mini!

Great little box

Phenomenal value - computer works great, is very fast, and is extremely powerful for the low price. The base model (which I got with a coupon) is such a great system. Adding a larger/slightly faster HD or even more RAM is definitely not worth it unless you have special use cases as Apple drastically overcharges for these things. Get the base model and if you need more space get an external 2 TB SSD that is super fast for like $100.

Mini But Definitely Pro

As expected, the M2 Pro provides significant performance & features, particularly coming from my Intel Mac. For me the biggest reason to choose the Pro over the standard M2 is I/O. The four thunderbolt four ports make a big difference for my workflow, and the added cores in the chip are at nice plus. I have the base Pro configuration; 16 GB RAM, 512 storage, but it handles multiple streams of 4K video with ease. First time buying from Adorama, but I got a good deal and good service. Will buy here again and would recommend.

Mac Mini M2 Box

By TOM F.

Best deal in Apple's capable but expensive line. Works like a champ and of course not enough USB ports.

It's time to redefine power and performance with the Early 2023 Mac Mini Desktop Computer, featuring the revolutionary M2 Chip. This compact powerhouse is engineered to handle everything from professional-grade content creation to high-octane gaming with ease. At the heart of this desktop is an 8-Core CPU and a 10-Core GPU, both part of the M2 Chip's architecture, delivering exceptional speed and graphics capabilities that outshine its predecessors.

The Mac Mini is supercharged with 16GB of unified memory, which works in concert with the CPU and GPU to provide a seamless, fluid experience, whether you're multitasking between demanding applications or diving into immersive entertainment. The 256GB SSD offers ample storage for your important files, creative projects, and multimedia libraries, ensuring quick access and efficient data management.

With over 20 billion transistors, the M2 Chip in the Mac Mini boasts a 25 percent increase in transistor count over the M1, enhancing its computational abilities and energy efficiency. The 50 percent increase in memory bandwidth compared to the M1 allows for smoother workflow transitions and the ability to handle complex tasks with unparalleled agility.

The Mac Mini's compatibility with macOS Ventura means you can enjoy lightning-fast performance across a wide range of applications, from Microsoft 365 to Adobe Creative Cloud, and even Zoom. The system is optimized for over 15,000 apps and plug-ins, ensuring that whatever tools you rely on, they'll run at peak performance. The innovative Stage Manager feature helps you organize your workspace, while SharePlay and continuity across Apple devices enhance your collaborative and personal computing experiences.

Despite its impressive capabilities, the Mac Mini maintains its iconic 7.7-inch-square frame, proving that you don't need a towering setup to achieve towering performance. The unified memory architecture elevates the concept of traditional RAM, creating a single high-bandwidth, low-latency memory pool that allows for more efficient data movement and a fluid user experience.

Privacy and security are paramount with the M2 Chip and macOS Ventura, providing industry-leading protection against malware and viruses. The next-generation Secure Enclave ensures your system and data remain secure, giving you peace of mind in an increasingly digital world.

The versatility of the Mac Mini is unmatched, with a comprehensive array of ports including two Thunderbolt 4 ports, two USB-A ports, HDMI, Wi-Fi 6E, and Gigabit Ethernet. For those requiring even faster networking, a 10Gb Ethernet option is available, offering up to ten times the throughput for intensive data tasks.

Thunderbolt 4 connectivity allows for data transfer speeds of up to 40Gb/s, charging and powering external devices, and the ability to expand your workspace with external displays supporting 6K resolution at 60Hz. HDMI capabilities extend to 8K video output, catering to the needs of high-resolution content creators. With Wi-Fi 6E, the Mac Mini delivers improved performance and up to 2.4Gb/s of throughput, making file transfers and backups faster than ever.

Whether you're producing music, developing software, or engaging in high-fidelity gaming, the Mac Mini with the M2 Chip is designed to elevate your desktop experience to new heights, all while maintaining a sleek, space-saving form factor that fits perfectly in any setup.
