We tested its performance by throwing almost everything and the kitchen sink at it.

Last but not least, we’ve even added a few news sites – and guess what? The Mini didn’t stutter or stutter. In our lab’s Geekbench 5.5 overall performance test, the Mac Mini M2 scored 9,048. During the Handbrake test, the Mac Mini M2 took 6 minutes and 46 minutes to transcode a 4K video to 1080p.
