Given that Apple has had a long history of making new products more expensive than their predecessors, the base variant of the 2023 Mac Mini is a notable exception to this trend. At just $599, the base version of this year’s Mac Mini is $100 cheaper than the base version of the outgoing model despite offering objectively better performance, Ars Technica notes. While this model is more than sufficient for someone looking for an entry-level machine, things get inherently expensive the moment people choose one of the many upgrade options Apple offers.
Take the case of the step-up option over the $599 base variant. For an additional $200 (for $799), all you get is 512GB of storage with no upgrade to the RAM. For less than that $200, you can add 2TB of space using a third-party external SSD from Amazon. Things get even more interesting as you go up the price ladder. For example, users can upgrade the M2 Pro-powered Mac Mini (which starts at $1299) with a faster version of the chip plus 16GB of unified memory for $300 more. For an additional $200, users can increase the storage from 512GB to 1TB.
On the flip side, the higher-end options of the 2023 Mac Mini offer fairly comprehensive connectivity options— including four Thunderbolt 4 ports, twin USB ports, an Ethernet port, and an HDMI port. Sadly, there is still no sign of an SD card slot that many content creators desperately wanted Apple to include.
