M2 Pro Mac mini Models Are Available On Apple’s Certified Refurbished Store, Shortly After M2 Versions Got Listed

Only yesterday, we spoke about how the M2 versions of the 2023 Mac mini had been listed on Apple’s Certified Refurbished store , and the company left out the M2 Pro models. Thankfully, if you need slightly increased CPU and GPU performance, you can purchase those variants at considerable savings.
The M2 Pro Mac mini is significantly more expensive, starting from $1,099, but you also get a multitude of benefits
To remind you, Apple’s M2 Pro is an upgraded version of the M2, offering a 10-core CPU and 16-core GPU for increased multi-core and graphics performance. The 2023 Mac mini with this particular SoC is priced at $1,099 on Apple’s refurbished store after a $200 discount. Now some of you might be wondering about the massive pricing disparity between the M2 and M2 Pro models. Well, for starters, you get a significant upgrade when switching to the more capable custom silicon.
Furthermore, instead of 8GB of unified RAM, you get 16GB, and right off the bat, the $1,099 version of the Mac mini also gives you 512GB of PCIe NVMe storage. If that was not enough, you would be pleased to hear that this version ships with four Thunderbolt 4 ports to deliver maximum throughput for connecting a wide range of peripherals, external drives, and high-resolution monitors to the machine. We will warn you that nothing on the Mac mini can be upgraded once you make a purchase, so think long and hard about what you will potentially use as your daily driver.



Other than that, there are other top-end models to choose from, with the 1TB version setting you back by $1,269 on the Certified Refurbished store. Apart from the obvious savings, purchasing any Apple hardware from this store means that customers will be provided with a product that is in almost-new condition. According to the technology giant, all products listed on the refurbished store are rigorously tested, and all accessories present in the packaging are brand new.
The refurbished M2 Pro Mac mini models are eligible for AppleCare+ just like the new ones, and the company offers the same 14-day return policy. Looking at the specifications, the higher-end desktop is a great option for power options, just as long as you feel that the discount is worth the trouble.
