Apple has unveiled its latest Mac Mini models featuring the M6 and M5 Pro chips, which the company describes as delivering exceptional performance and artificial intelligence capabilities. The compact desktop computers are now available for preorder through multiple retailers including Apple, Amazon, and Best Buy, with shipments scheduled to begin on September 22.
Amazon is currently offering early discounts on both models ahead of their release. Customers can save $19.01 on the M6 configuration, which starts at $899, and $29.01 on the M5 Pro model beginning at $1,699. For those seeking maximum specifications, the M6 can reach $2,399, while the M5 Pro extends to $6,799. Students and educators qualify for an additional $100 discount when purchasing directly from Apple’s education program.
For budget-conscious consumers, Apple’s new upgrade program offers an alternative to outright purchase. Qualified customers can lease either device starting at $74.91 monthly. Industry observers anticipate strong demand for these machines, particularly among AI enthusiasts who utilize the Mac Mini for running artificial intelligence applications. Since the previous generation featuring M4 chips launched in November 2024, this update represents a significant upgrade in processing power for professional and power users.
