Let’s cut to the chase: the Apple Mac Mini M2 is a bargain. For just $600 — $100 less than its predecessor, no less — you’re getting a compact computer that melts the competition. It has the honor of being the first desktop machine to adopt Apple’s second-generation silicon.

Find out if it’s the Mac of choice for you in this Apple Mac Mini M2 review.
