Highlights
- Key Specs
- Processor Model: Apple M2 (Your computer's processor is like its brain. Working in combination with system memory, the power of the processor determines the complexity of software you can run, how many programs you can have open at the same time, and how fast those programs will run. Most computers feature an AMD, Intel or Snapdragon processor.)
- Storage Type: SSD
- Total Storage Capacity: 512 gigabytes
- System Memory (RAM): 8 gigabytes (Random-access memory (RAM) is a computing device's short-term data storage, which allows active information to be accessed quickly. The size and type of RAM determines how efficiently the device can handle large amounts of information at one time. For example, gaming or video editing requires more RAM for optimal performance.)
- Graphics Type: Integrated (Dedicated graphics uses a separate graphics card for processing video images. Because it does not use memory from the system's RAM, there is no extra burden on the CPU and graphics are processed more efficiently. Integrated graphics shares system RAM to process video images.)
- Graphics: Apple M2 10-core (Often referred to as a "graphics processing unit" (GPU), this device is responsible for displaying image content and decoding/encoding video content in programs and games.)

A: Yes you can. The Mac mini supports 4k HDR monitors. And I'm currently using it with the Logitech MX Mechanical mini keyboard and the Logitech MX Master 3S without out any issues.
Q: I have a mid 2015 iMac which is now obsolete per Apple. Can I use it as a monitor for Mac mini?
A: Sort of, but not easily and with some serious drawbacks. You can launch a remote desktop from you old imac and connect to your mac mini which would give you the ability to manipulate the mac mini from your old imac screen, but remote desktop does not have the same performance as the native desktop. There was a feature apple had called "Target Display Mode" which would have done, however they discontinued that feature. Finally for the truly adventurous, you can crack open the imac and solder on the hardware components you need to make thats work

Mac Mini with M2 Chip WOW
Replaced my 12 year old iMac 24" because it would no longer get updates to Mac OS and was running so slow. Apple finally forced me to upgrade. The Mac mini with the M2 chip really was the way to go and saved me a lot of money over the cost of a new iMac. So hopefully I am good for another 12 years of OS updates. I paired it with a new 24" HP monitor. I did add a Satechi dock because of the minimal ports on the back of the Mac Mini, also for ease of use. Set up and data transfer was a breeze. The M2 chip is a real improvement over the old Intel chip in the iMac. I chose 512 GB model over 16GB RAM beause of cost. Plus Apple uses RAM differently than Intel. I don't run any memory intensive software like photo or video editng, so RAM did not matter. I was sorry to see my old faithful iMac go, but it's time had come. Sadly I got a $60 gift card from BB for " recycling" it, hence the addition of the Satechi dock.

M2 Mac Mini Worthy Investment
The M2 Mac Mini is a very capable, powerful desktop in a small package. My son and I use this powerful computer for my work and his college classes. It is a great addition to our Apple ecosystem….it just works all together. If you are on the fence about what decision to make you will not regret purchasing this little desktop.
