Mac mini M6 review: truly mighty but now more pricey

Apple's cheapest desktop computer is no longer a bargain but its newest, fastest chip makes it a pocket powerhouse

Apple's latest Mac mini brings real speed and power for far more than everyday tasks in a practically pocketable form you can fit almost anywhere.

The impressive new desktop machine is the first to receive an update to Apple's latest M6 chip while remaining smaller than a headphones box. It is the cheapest computer Apple sells with an M-series chip, but like every other memory-containing piece of electronics, it has been hit by RAMageddon, driving up the starting price to 899 (1,049/$899/A$1,449) from the 599 or equivalent of its M4 predecessor.
