Apple discounts M2 Mac mini through refurbished online store

Apple has today added the M2 Mac mini to its official Certified Refurbished online store in the US, offering a discount on the machines for the first time after they were released earlier this year in January.
Compared to the previous-generation Mac mini, the M2 and M2 Pro models bring a faster next-generation CPU and GPU, much higher memory bandwidth, and a more powerful media engine, with the M2 model featuring an 8-core CPU with four high-performance and four high-efficiency cores, along with a 10-core GPU.
With around 15 percent off the standard M2 Mac mini and higher discounts on the more high-end M2 Pro build, a refurbished M2 Mac mini is priced from $509 for the 8-core CPU, 10-core GPU, 8GB RAM, and 256GB SSD.
Like all refurbished Macs sold through the official Apple Certified Refurbished online store, the M2 Mac mini models come packaged in a new box with manuals and a power cord with the company inspecting, testing, and cleaning all machines before they are sold, coming with Apple’s standard one-year warranty, leaving them virtually indistinguishable from brand new.
