The M2 models have two Thunderbolt 4 ports, while the M2 Pro models have four. It can all be a bit complex, be careful to make the correct pick.Īlso Read: Perseverance will outline Apple’s otherwise favourable MicroLED display switchĪnd that’s where the finer detailing becomes important. But the latter is true for Mac Mini’s M2 Pro model – the lower spec variants get HDMI that tops out at 4K at 60Hz refresh rate. If you choose the HDMI option instead, then an 8K resolution display is also very much an option for you. The Thunderbolt 4 standard gets a theoretical data transfer top speed of 40Gbps which means you can output to a display up to 6K resolution at 60Hz refresh rate.
For the keyboard and mouse options, you have choices aplenty, across budgets. Basically, anything with HDMI or Thunderbolt (that’s USB-C, for the other ecosystems) connection options. Your options range from the impressive OnePlus Monitor X27 (around ₹27,999) to the gorgeous Apple Studio Display (around ₹1,59,900).
You’ll need to connect this with a display. The Mac Mini’s prices are enticing, particularly at the lower end of the spectrum, but there’s a caveat here. Yet, what hasn’t changed at all is the charm of the Mac Mini, which takes us back to Steve Jobs penning the phrase in 2005 with the first-generation Mac Mini – BYODKM, or ‘bring your own display, keyboard, and mouse’. Whichever model you pick, the biggest upgrade is the performance. The new M2 Pro chip that the Mac Mini gets is with a 10-core CPU and 16-core GPU, as well as 16GB memory and 512GB storage. A bump up gets you a 512GB SSD, with all other specs staying the same, at ₹79,900. Prices start at ₹59,900 for the newest M2 chip with an 8-core CPU and a 10-core GPU, paired with 8GB unified memory and 256GB SSD storage. You can customise these for more RAM and storage. There are three core specs of the Mac Mini that are on sale. That’ll undoubtedly be a worry for the Windows PC ecosystem, because in that space, desktop evolution has effectively stagnated. This form factor should have never been ignored, and the latest iteration ensures, you cannot either. After all, the MacBook changes, the iMac’s colourful progress and rapidly changing computing performance goalposts, courtesy Apple’s M-series chips, cornered our attention. It was very easy to miss the Mac Mini as it evolved over the years.
