Apple's new Mac mini with M6 and M5 Pro chips emphasizes AI performance.
Apple announced a new Mac mini featuring the M6 and M5 Pro chips, claiming a massive leap in AI performance for always-on agentic computing. The press release highlights up to 2x faster gaming performance in Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition compared to the M4 model. Pricing starts at $900 for the base M6/16GB/256GB configuration.
What commenters are saying
Commenters are dismayed by the price increase, with the base M6 model now $900, up from $600 for the M4 less than two years ago. Many note the psychological barrier of over €1000 in Europe for a 16GB/256GB machine. Some defend the price as inflation-adjusted, but others call it a bad deal. The thread also discusses Apple's gaming efforts, noting Cyberpunk 2077 benchmarks but expressing skepticism about Apple's commitment to gaming on Mac.
