Student discount and an £80 AMEX cash back offer. It came to £840 for 16GB/512GB. Costco UK also has great deals on the base M2 and M2 Pro configurations, e.g. £135 discount on the M2 Pro mini.How does one get a good deal on the new M2?

What videocard was in the egpu?..my 2018 Intel i7-8700B with egpu can play up to 93% of all the games I need on stream and it has 32gb ram.Writing this on my day-old M2 Pro mini, 10CPU/16GPU, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD.
The main thing I was hoping for was an increase in graphics capability over my Intel i7 mini's eGPU. And the answer is: yes indeed.
Odd. I ordered the same thing on 2/28; the original delivery date was 3/13-3/15 but it's already shipped and now is supposed to be delivered on the 7th. So, basically the opposite of your experience, and ordered almost a week later. 🤔 Odd.Ordered a BTO 512/16 mini 2/22.
Expected delivery 3/3-3/7.
Apple updated the delivery today to 3/9-3/13.
Order went from Preparing to Ship back to Processing.
Whoops, typo. I meant iGPU -- Intel UHD 630. I didn't go for an eGPU because I also have a gaming PC, and it didn't make economic sense to add an external GPU for gaming when I could buy a whole PC for the same price.What videocard was in the egpu?..my 2018 Intel i7-8700B with egpu can play up to 93% of all the games I need on stream and it has 32gb ram.

Anyway, I hope you get yours soon!
I ordered the same configuration with 10Gb Ethernet on March 6th. Original expected delivery date was March 24 which changed to March 14 after a few days. Looking forward to it since I will be upgrading from a 2010 15" MacBook Pro. I even ordered a Studio Display off the Refurb Store which will be in on the 15th. Now I just have to prep my computer table to receive these massive upgrades.After weeks of researching, watching video reviews and analysing benchmark scores, I finally bit the bullet! Just ordered my Mac Mini M2 Pro.
Specs:
Apple M2 Pro with 12‑core CPU, 19-core GPU, 16‑core Neural Engine
32GB unified memory
1TB SSD storage
I'm a 2d animator using the Adobe Creative Suite. Setting up artwork in Illustrator and doing animations in After Effects. Currently working on a 2019 Macbook Pro with 2,8ghz i9 and 32gb ram. That machine cost me $3,900 back in the day and it's insane that I just bought a machine that's less than half the cost and so much faster. And quieter!
The Mac Studio was on my list, but seeing all the benchmark scores (especially the PUGET benchmark scores) the difference in performance was minimal, not worth the extra $$$.
Just ordered exact config today. 4/4-4/6 is my date.. they fully charged my card today which is strangeAfter weeks of researching, watching video reviews and analysing benchmark scores, I finally bit the bullet! Just ordered my Mac Mini M2 Pro.

Status changed today to "Preparing to ship" - I assume that will beat the 4/4 date. Fingers crossedJust ordered exact config today. 4/4-4/6 is my date.. they fully charged my card today which is strange
