Apple just announced a refresh to some of its computers. One of them is the new Mac Mini 2023, which just got a major performance upgrade with new chips.
The new Mac Mini 2023 is now powered with either an in-house Apple M2 or M2 Pro chip. Sadly, unlike the new MacBook Pro 2023 models, no M2 Max option. Also, this marks the end of the Intel-powered Minis.
You can get the M2 Pro variant with up to 12-core CPU, 19-core GPU, and 32GB of united memory. Meanwhile, the M2 only comes with a single 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU configuration but with up to 24GB of RAM.
Going with the M2 Pro models also entitles you to have a newer HDMI 2.1 port that can do up to 8K@60fps and 4K@240Hz and four Thunderbolt 4 ports, compared to the two ports on the M2.
The Mac Mini 2023 is now listed on the Apple Philippines website with the availability date yet to be announced. Full price list and specs are listed below.
