Earlier today, Apple unveiled the latest generation for Apple Silicon. As with new entries for the lineup, most of the love is currently flowing to the MacBook Pro lineup. However, if you’re looking for a more stable workstation, Apple has also launched a new Mac mini with the new processor.

Available with either the regular M2 or the M2 Pro, the new Mac mini boosts performance for desktop users. With just the regular M2, the device can perform intensive tasks like Adobe Photoshop by up to 50 percent faster. It can even do video editing in apps like Magic Cut Pro more than twice as fast as the previous generation. It can also play Resident Evil Village by up to 35 percent faster.

Naturally, the Mac mini with the M2 Max offers an even bigger boost to performance. The upgraded variant performs tasks in Final Cut Pro by up to 4.2 times faster than the previous generation. It can also play Resident Evil Village by up to 2.8 times faster.

For connectivity, the Mac mini supports Wi-Fi 6E, up to four Thunderbolt 4 ports, three displays, two USB-A ports, an HDMI port, and a headphone jack. Out of the box, it will come with macOS Ventura.

The new Mac mini is already available for preorders. It will start shipping on January 24 (and February 3 for Asia and Australasia). The regular M2 variant starts at US$ 599. Meanwhile, the M2 Pro variant starts at US$ 1,299.
