It still has the same old design, the same weight, the same accessories. The parameters are almost not much different from the Mac mini M1. And most of all, it is true to the mini name given by Apple. The instance I have here is running basic M2.įor me personally, this is a product I find more attractive than the 14-inch Macbook Pro running M2 Pro, because it has an extremely accessible price. However, that one is much more expensive. This is the first time the Mac mini has an Apple Pro chip. This year, Mac mini 2023 has up to 2 versions: Mac mini M2 and Mac mini M2 Pro. So is the Mac mini M2 a bad product? And what are the reasons for Apple’s price reduction? Year When returning to Vietnam market, the genuine price for Mac mini M2 will only be at VND 15,990,000. Starting with a price of 799 USD in 2018, to the Mac mini M2 2023 version, the list price of this product has dropped to 599 USD. In the last 3 generations of Mac mini, the price of Mac mini is reduced by 100 USD after each generation. However, the mac mini is the complete opposite. The policy of keeping prices or increasing prices in successive generations has been maintained by Apple on many devices such as iPhone, iPad, Macbook, AirPods. When returning to Vietnam, the price for genuine brands is almost unchanged. But when faced with paying Apple or adding an external storage device, some users will certainly choose the latter for their M2 Mac Mini.Over the past few years, Apple has continuously kept the iPhone’s selling price in the US market at $ 1099 for the most advanced version. The Mac's internal storage will appear separately from the external drive, and read/write speeds will definitely be worse on the external drive. Satechi's Stand and Hub retails for $99 but routinely sees discounts on sites like Amazon. Once the extra SSD is installed, plugging in the dock will expand the device's storage capacity to include the just-inserted drive. The dock allows users to insert an M.2 SATA SSD storage device to connect with an M2 Mac Mini.

It adds plenty of ports to the Mac Mini, with a USB-C data port, three USB-A data ports, micro SD and full-size SD card readers, a 3.5mm headphone jack port, and an internal SSD enclosure. It fits the dimensions of the Mac Mini that it sits below and has a silver aluminum finish to the color of the Mac Mini.

Specifically, Apple accessory maker Satechi has come to be known for its Stand and Hub for the Mac Mini, which includes an SSD enclosure inside the dock.
