  "account": "Apple's latest Mac Mini models, the M6 and M5 Pro, boost display refresh rates, according to the company's technical specifications. These specifications differ from the M4 generation in several ways. For instance, the M6 model can run two displays at up to 6K at 60Hz or 4K at 165Hz, with a third display capable of 5K at 60Hz over Thunderbolt or 4K at 60Hz over HDMI. This is an improvement from the M4, which supported up to 144Hz on two displays and a third at 60Hz over HDMI. The M5 Pro model, however, can run all three displays at up to 6K at 60Hz or 4K at 165Hz, an improvement from the M4 Pro's 144Hz. In a two-monitor setup, the M5 Pro's second screen can support 5K at 120Hz or 4K at 200Hz, a step up from the M4 Pro's 6K at 60Hz or 4K at 144Hz. The M5 Pro is the only model that can run all three displays through a single Thunderbolt port, while the M6 supports two displays per port. Single-display support remains unchanged, with both chips able to support 8K at 60Hz, 5K at 120Hz, or 4K at 240Hz. The M6 model has Thunderbolt 4 supporting DisplayPort 1.4, while the M5 Pro has Thunderbolt 5 supporting DisplayPort 2.1. The new models were unveiled on Tuesday, with pre-orders opening now and shipping and in-store availability on September 22.",
