The Apple Mac mini M2 is currently available from B&H Photo Video with a $130 discount that slashes its price to $869 from $999. However, like with most Apple deals, there’s limited supply for this offer. While we can’t say for sure how much time is remaining before the offer ends, we highly recommend pushing through with your purchase for this mini PC as soon as possible. We rarely see a chance at savings when buying this machine, so if you’re interested, you shouldn’t be wasting any more time.

Why you should buy the Apple Mac mini M2

We tagged the Apple Mac mini M2 Pro as “the best mini computer ever” in our review of the machine, which also sits on top of our list of the best mini PCs. The impressive performance also applies to the Apple Mac mini M2, and with one of our recommended configurations of an eight-core CPU, a 10-core GPU, and 16GB of RAM, the mini computer will be able to keep up with most of your daily activities. It won’t have any trouble multitasking between apps, and it will be powerful enough to smoothly run Final Cut Pro and Xcode, among other software — all within such a compact size.

To connect the Apple Mac mini M2 to your monitor, internet, and other devices, it features two Thunderbolt 4 ports, two USB-A ports, an HDMI port, an Ethernet port, and a headphone jack. However, even with a complete setup and hours of usage, the Apple Mac mini M2 remains quiet and cool, so you don’t have to worry that it won’t be able to last through long working days.

If you want a mini PC, you can’t go wrong with the Apple Mac mini M2, especially if you’re able to take advantage of the $130 in savings that’s offered by B&H Photo Video. You’ll only have to pay $869 for this configuration with the eight-core CPU, 10-core GPU, and 16GB of RAM, instead of the sticker price of $999. You need to be quick though, as the stocks that are up for sale are limited. The price of the Apple Mac mini M2 may be back to normal sooner than you think, so you have to complete your transaction to secure your own immediately.

I tried the RayNeo Air 2s glasses and they’re on sale for Black Friday
RayNeo Air 2s on custom Steam Deck - Briley Kenney Digital Trends_edited

With the holidays coming, I've been trying a spat of unique VR and AR devices. One pair I got my hands on, called the RayNeo Air 2s, basically gives you a portable 201-inch display that you can put on and use anytime, anywhere. They work with Android, Mac, Nintendo Switch, PS5, and -- my favorite -- Steam Deck. Our team has used the RayNeo Air 2 previously and also gave them high marks. Fun Fact I learned from reading that, RayNeo is actually a TCL brand. As for what I think of them, we'll get to that. For now, I want to talk about the crazy RayNeo Black Friday deals that have just dropped.

Hurry! The M4 MacBook Pro just got an unheard of discount
Someone using a MacBook Pro at a desk.

The 2024 MacBook Pro with M4 chip hasn't even been out for a month, but it already has its first major discount. Amazon just knocked $200 off the 14-inch configuration, dropping the price to $1,399 from $1,599. While a $200 discount on a MacBook isn't world-shattering, the fact that this laptop is so new makes this an unheard of deal. Let's dive into some other noteworthy aspects of this sale.

Why you should buy the MacBook Pro M4
This specific configuration of the M4 Pro has a 10-core CPU, 10-core GPU, 16GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD storage. The 16GB of RAM is particularly noteworthy, as it's the new standard for Apple. That makes this a better deal than some of the M3 models with 8GB of RAM. This model of course comes with Apple's signature Liquid Retina XDR display on its 14.2-inch screen, and it's ready for Apple Intelligence.
