Apple’s new Mac mini quietly leveled up its multi-monitor game
The M6 and M5 Pro Mac mini keep the three-display limit, but refresh rates and port flexibility just got a serious bump.
Apple has quietly enhanced its Mac mini lineup with improved multi-monitor capabilities. The M6 and M5 Pro models now support up to three external displays, with the M5 Pro offering higher refresh rates. While the display count remains the same, the M6 can run two displays at 6K at 60Hz or 4K at 165Hz, whereas the M5 Pro can handle all three at 6K at 60Hz or 4K at 165Hz.
For single displays, the M5 Pro's second display can now support 5K at 120Hz or 4K at 200Hz, an upgrade from the previous limit of 6K at 60Hz or 4K at 144Hz. The M5 Pro can even run all three displays through a single Thunderbolt port, unlike the M6 which requires two ports. The M5 Pro also features upgraded ports, with Thunderbolt 5 and DisplayPort 2.1 compared to the M6's Thunderbolt 4 and DisplayPort 1.4. Pre-orders for both models are open now, with availability starting September 22.
