Is there any built-in surge protection for Mac mini m2 (2023) ?

I want to know if there is any built-in power surge protection in the Mac mini 2023. And do I need to buy an outlet with surge protector to prevent the mac mini from being damaged by potential power surges?


Thanks.

Mac mini (M2, 2023)

If you are looking for advice I would recommend looking into a whole-house surge protector that a licensed electrician can install in your breaker panel. With almost all products containing electronics these days, and very expensive ones like an HDTV, computers, AVRs, etc., it’s better to be proactive than sorry.


I did this in my own home for peace of mind. The price was $450 installed by a licensed electrician. If you are a DYI’er the protector itself costs about $200 from Amazon, Home Depot, Lowes, Menards, etc.
