Apple Mac mini (M2)

The Apple Mac mini now features Apple's pro-level M2 chip, making it suitable for anything from rich presentations to immersive gaming, or more intensive tasks like editing massive images and 8K ProRes video. The Apple M2 integrates the CPU, GPU, Neural Engine, I/O, and more into a single system on a chip (SoC), this time utilizing 2nd-Gen 5nm process technology. Compared to the previous generation Mac mini with M1, users will be able to transcode ProRes video in Final Cut Pro up to 2.4x faster and simultaneously play back up to two streams of 8K ProRes 422 video at 30 fps, or up to 12 streams of 4K ProRes 422 video at 30 fps. Filter and function performance in Adobe Photoshop is also boosted up to 50%. This is possible thanks to the M2's faster next-generation CPU and GPU, higher bandwidth memory, and a more powerful media engine for improved performance and power efficiency that includes an advanced thermal system for greater sustained performance. Adding to the Mac mini's power is 8GB of RAM and, thanks to the addition of Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax), wireless networking will operate at up to 2.4 Gb/s.

The 10-Core GPU delivers a sharp, clear picture, and you'll be able to output video to an external display using the system's Thunderbolt 4 ports, which feature native DisplayPort output, or use the built-in HDMI port. This Mac mini supports up to two simultaneous displays, with one 6K / 60 Hz display using Thunderbolt 4 and a second 5K / 60 Hz display using Thunderbolt 4, or a 4K / 60 Hz display via HDMI.
