Mac mini

Alongside its new MacBook line, Apple has unveiled updates to its Mac mini range, which are kitted out with its newly announced M2 and M2 Pro chips. That gives these desktop computers a decent boost in speed and power over the previous models.

Apple told us it was transitioning its computers away from Intel chips to its own custom-made Apple silicon in June, and today it launched the first models to make the switch: a new Mac mini, a new MacBook Air, and a new 13-inch MacBook Pro.

As well as showing off updated iPad Pro models at a hardware launch event held in New York today, Apple has also announced major upgrades for the MacBook Air and the MacBook Mini – two devices in much need of a refresh and left out of Apple's new Mac announcements last year.

Apple updates the consumer desktop line with release of the new iMac featuring a 24-inch screen, twice the memory and twice the storage and the Mac mini claimed by Apple to be the world's most energy efficient desktop computer.
