Used Mac mini M2 Pro (2023)
Hard Bargains verdict
The used M2 Pro Mac mini has lost its Pro price premium. That does not make the M2 Pro the automatic bargain. It makes this a nearly price-neutral choice between an older Pro chip and a newer base chip.
From A used M2 Pro Mac mini now costs $9 less than an M4 with the same memory and storage, updated Oct. 3, 2026
