The discovery itself that this can be achieved is of course commendable, but the practical applications are fairly nonexistent. You'd also need to be very proficient in soldering – given that one mistake will leave you with a very expensive paperweight – and have all the suitable equipment to hand, which doesn't make this a cheap upgrade for the average Joe. The DRAM and NAND memory (a type of nonvolatile flash) are extremely hard to come by for everyday consumers, usually being purchased by large manufacturing companies. We can't stress enough that this is a bad idea to try yourself, not only because of the high risk of it not working (and the obvious voided warranty), but the work required also simply isn't worth the payoff. While existing M1 Mac mini users might not see much point in upgrading to the M2 Mac mini, those looking for a more powerful mini PC can consider switching to the M2 Pro model.See more Perfectly impractical in every way

However, the M2 Pro Mac mini starts at a more expensive price tag of $1,299 as a result of its more powerful chipset and additional RAM and storage. Based on these factors, it is no surprise that Apple has already discontinued the M1 Mac mini. It starts at $599 ( students can get it for just $499), compared to the M1 model which had a launch price of $699. The M2 Mac mini is not only more powerful than the M1 Mac mini, but it has also been launched for an even cheaper price. With the newer Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 technology of the M2 and M2 Pro Mac mini models, users should experience better connectivity than the M1 Mac mini which has Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0. Users can also connect a single display with an 8K resolution at 60Hz, a first for the Mac, or even 4K at 240Hz. For the M2 Pro model, there is support for up to three displays. The M1 Mac mini also supports up to two displays, but the second display peaks at 4K 60Hz and must be connected over HDMI. With the new M2 Mac mini, users will be able to connect up to two displays – one display with up to a 6K resolution at 60Hz over Thunderbolt and a second display with up to 5K resolution at 60Hz over Thunderbolt or 4K resolution over HDMI.
