Yes. It's called the Mac mini with M2.

The Intel version is only sticking around for Windows VM's.

Throw in another $100 for 10 GigE if you care about that, and you’re close to “maybe I should get a Studio instead” territory.

If they do add the M2 Pro as an option, surely that’ll be another $200 if not more. Which raises the question: whom is that for? Wouldn’t they just get the Studio?
All of this except for the part in bold. I can see the price going up if they redesign the system entirely, but not just because they add the M2. The 13" Pro got the M2 but its price remained the same at $1299.
