SAVE $100: As of July 25, the Apple Mac mini (M2 chip, 256 GB) desktop computer is back down to $499, its lowest price ever, at Best Buy. That's a discount of 17%.


Apple's M2 Mac mini desktop computers may be small, but they're perfectly capable of handling just about any task load. With the powerful M2 chip, they're able to tackle more labor-intensive tasks like photo and video editing, plus everyday tasks like internet browsing, word processing, and streaming — all your regular work and play activities. If the Mac mini's high price tag has been keeping you from snagging it, today just might be your lucky day.

As of July 25, the 2023 Mac mini (M2 chip, 256 GB) is back down to its lowest price ever for just $499 at Best Buy. That's a savings of $100, or 17%, off its original price.

If you already pulled the trigger on an earlier model, this latest Mac mini boasts an 8-core CPU and a 10-core GPU that should give you a noticeable bump in speed. It comes with two Thunderbolt 4 ports and supports up to three displays at up to 8K resolution, so things will be bright, crisp, and great-looking whether you're getting work done or watching K-pop videos. Plus, its small footprint — at just 7.75 x 7.75 inches and 2.5 pounds — makes it the perfect option for anyone who moves things around often or needs their desktop to travel with them.

If you've had your eye on a Mac mini for some time, now's a great time to go ahead and grab it at its lowest price yet — while it's still available.
