Hot off the press, the M2-equipped Mac Mini is said to offer up to 50 percent faster speeds in services like Adobe Photoshop compared to its two-year-old M1 predecessor, and up to 35 percent faster gameplay in titles like Resident Evil Village.

No matter which model you buy, the Mac Mini will come with two additional USB-A ports, an HDMI port, Gigabit Ethernet support, a headphone jack, and in Silver. There's no Space Gray this time around.
