Apple's M2 chips made their debut in 2022, appearing in everything from the lightweight MacBook Air to new iPads, as well as the ultra-lightweight and portable Mac mini desktop line. But despite the actual Mac mini being the perfect size for working on the go — whether that's across the room or the country — it's always been a bit pricey for many users to justify adding to their setup. But today's sale just might mean it's time to invest.

As of May 17, you can pick up the 256GB M2 Mac mini for just $499.99. That's a savings of 17% or $99.01 off its original price.

The 256GB model is no slouch. Though it's only a small upgrade from the original Mac mini when it comes to its internals, it includes a new 8-core CPU and a new 10-core GPU that speeds things up significantly from 2020's M1 model. In terms of connectivity, it also features two Thunderbolt 4 ports as well as a headphone jack. It supports up to three displays, with up to 8K options with HDMI, so you can count on whatever you're doing for work or play to look crisp. You get all of this in a small 7.75 x 7.75-inch footprint that weighs just over 2.5 pounds.

If you need something with a super-small footprint to keep in your office or just want to add a new piece of Apple hardware to your collection, now's a good time to do it.
