Apple Mac Mini M2 review: Is the cheapest Mac worth it? https://ift.tt/xT7ZsNL

Let’s cut to the chase: the Apple Mac Mini M2 is a bargain. For just $600 — $100 less than its predecessor, no less — you’re getting a compact computer that melts the competition. It has the honor of being the first desktop machine to adopt Apple’s second-generation silicon. Yet while there will no doubt be M2 iMacs, M2 Max Mac Studios, and more, the Mac Mini M2 will remain the value king. If you only want a current-generation powerhouse macOS machine for the cheapest price, then you’re probably already sold. But with an all-new M2 Pro-powered model available for more than twice the price and M2-flavored laptops offering greater flexibility, Apple’s little engine that could is a more complex proposition than its humble appearance and entry-level price tag might suggest. Find out if it’s the Mac of choice for you in this Apple Mac Mini M2 review.

About this Apple Mac Mini M2 review: I tested the M2 Mac Mini (8GB/256GB) over a period of three weeks. It was running macOS Ventura throughout the testing period. The unit was purchased by Android Authority for this review.

Here are Galaxy A54 and Galaxy A34 press renders and leaked spec sheets https://ift.tt/QLFm5bn

Samsung Galaxy A54 Leaked Press Renders

  • Press renders have leaked for the Samsung Galaxy A54 and A34.
  • Both phones look a lot like the Galaxy S23 series, especially the camera modules.
  • Leaked specs point to minor upgrades over last year’s Galaxy A53 and A33.

Now that the Samsung Galaxy S23 series has launched and become available worldwide, all eyes are on Samsung’s next smartphone launches. The most imminent launch is for the Galaxy A54 and Galaxy A34, two mid-rangers. Interestingly, they both look a lot like the Galaxy S23 series.

The Samsung Galaxy A54 will likely be the company’s most high-end mid-ranger of 2023. Last year’s Galaxy A53 was one of our favorite budget-minded devices, and we expect this year’s model to continue that same trend. Meanwhile, the Galaxy A34 should be a decent value device, although a harder sell if you can spend an extra $100 or so on the Galaxy A54.
