Apple's compact M2 desktop punches well above its size for connectivity, but the rear I/O is modest: two Thunderbolt 4 ports (USB-C) handle high-speed peripherals and a 6K display, while the HDMI port is only HDMI 2.0 — capped at 4K@60Hz, so no 4K@120Hz from HDMI here. Two USB-A ports run at USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gb/s), and Gigabit Ethernet can be upgraded to 10Gb at order time. A 3.5mm headphone jack supports high-impedance headphones.
