The M2 Pro model of the new Mac mini features M2 Pro, 16GB of RAM, 512GB of SSD storage, four Thunderbolt 4 ports, an HDMI port, gigabit ethernet, two USB-A ports, and a standard headphone jack. It is priced at Rs. 1,29,900.
The M2 Pro model can also be configured to add an additional 16GB of RAM and an improved version of the M2 Pro with 12 core CPU and 19-core GPU.
“With incredible capabilities and a wide array of connectivity in its compact design, Mac mini is used in so many places, in so many different ways. Today, we’re excited to take it even further with M2 and M2 Pro,” said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. “Bringing even more performance and a lower starting price, Mac mini with M2 is a tremendous value. And for users who need powerful pro performance, Mac mini with M2 Pro is unlike any other desktop in its class.”
