Highlights include an 8-core CPU with a new 10-core GPU (up from an 8-core GPU in 2020's M1 model), an improved headphone jack, and two Thunderbolt 4 ports for advanced peripherals. It also adds support for up to two displays (sold separately) — a big draw for the work-from-home crew.If their last appearances are any indication, you'll have just a few days to take advantage of these discounts before the Mac minis return to full price (so long as they stay in stock).
