M2 Pro mini is a dream!

This Mac mini serves all professional needs for 99% of customers. It achieves this with two main features processor and ports for speed and a powerful option for multiple monitors or external peripherals.
As many devices such as cameras are known to overheat, this high quality fan ensures optimum speed without lag or interruptions with resource heavy applications.
You no longer have to watch your computer struggle with many media based apps open at the same time. I can’t wait to start using more AI driven products.
This M2 Pro Mini overall bridges that difficult gap between price and value knowing it will easily handle my needs for years to come.
I am upgrading from 2015 15”MacBook Pro
16gb Ram 500 GB SSD, which still runs great!
It is clear to me the word “pro” in any product from Apple confirms a premium product designed to last as a workhorse.
Looking forward to discovering all of its features to serve my personal and professional needs.
Thank you Best Buy!

A Very Nice Little Computer

Time to replace the old 2012 Mini and saved 600 bucks during a fantastic Best Buy sale. I expected better performance with double the memory and an internal solid state drive, and was not disappointed. This little box is fast!
About the only ding I can give Apple is their lack of storage. Any modern PC needs at least a terabyte drive, so I'd recommend having a large external drive for storage and Time Machine backup.

Multimedia Producer's review of the M2 Pro Mac Min

As a Multimedia Producer, I wasn't sure if I should have upgraded the memory or storage, but it was getting close to the M1 Mac Studio Max. I went with the 16GB 512SSD model using external SSD drives for storage. Let me reassure those sitting on the fence, this model is blazing fast and more than enough for editing video, lightroom catalogs, or graphics. Lightning fast. I do not regret this purchase or model one bit.

This is my first Mac computer. I have always been a PC fan. So far I am very happy with my purchase. This computer is really fast and compact. I like it because it does not take up a lot of space. As of right now I would buy it again if needed. And I would purchase it from Best Buy. The purchase and pick up was easy. I did not have to drive 80 miles away to pick it up.

This was my third order of the Mac Mini; the first was only 256GB of storage. I could see that was not going to work; the second has 8 GB of memory and 512GB of storage and I would have kept it if I could have made my USB superdrive (for CDs) which did not work. So I took it back and ordered the 16GB, 512GB storagel.
Been happy with it so far. Of course I had to order extra drives for storage, but that seems to be the way of it these days. Fair warning: There are little secret things hidden in the operating system which may require investigation and resolution for everything to work properly. for example: Today I couldn’t find out why my DVDs had no sound. Something needed tweaking in the system preferences (a bit of a suprise since the first two played them no problem.). Use google to get help on these idiosyncrasies.

Great for video editing and processing. Very fast, but I wish I'd of went ahead and spent the extra money to get the Studio. I'm a windows guy my whole life, but I learned it relatively quick, considering. Used lots of Youtube "How To's".

What can i say, the salesman made a great point. Say a monitor goes bad i the all in one. Well there goes the whole thing. This base allows me to expand in whatever direction i choose. Not to mention the versatility of being able to replace just what breaks. Not the whole unit.

This Mac Mini packs a heck of a punch! It is very fast, it has (10) CPU Cores and (16) GPU Cores, (16)GB of RAM, and (512)GB SSD Hard Drive. It runs very efficient and does not get hot. It deals with heat displacement very well. I did purchase a horizontal stand for it via Amazon to deal with dust filtering.

Powerful computer in a small package

This Mac mini model is an excellent computer with a powerful CPU that provides plenty of horsepower for most computer tasks, especially video editing. If you're going to get one, however, don't settle for the base model, as 8GB isn't going to be enough for anything other than the most basic tasks. I have the 16GB with the M2 Pro processor, and I've had very few complaints, with plenty of available memory even with 10 open tabs in Brave and several other apps open, and don't need to close anything out when I play a game. Just a shame that Apple rips you off when it comes to boosting up the RAM or storage, but it is what it is. If you're looking for a relatively inexpensive yet powerful Mac desktop, you can't go wrong here.

This is great if you don't want to spend the extra 700 for a basic Mac Studio. Editing works just as well on this little ditty. I use it for mostly audio editing will soon add video editing with Final Cut Pro. Responds well when viewing websites as well.

This machine is very fast. I had an iMac for 2015 after four years started run slowly. so I'm hoping with 16 gig ram M2 Pro processor this Mac will stand the test of time.

Great work horse for the money. I recommend the pro model because of the additional thunderbolt/USB-C ports. It was a breeze to set up and migrate from my PC. I was finally able to dump my 13-year-old HP tower. No more nuisance Windows updates!

another excellent Apple product - lightning fast with this M2 Pro Chip. Its well beyond what I even need for processing however who is complaining? Ease of use, great craftsmanship, and appreciate the affordable pricing. I love Best Buy's warranty support - another reason I'm a member.
