Key Features
The Apple Mac mini now features Apple's first chip designed specifically for Mac. The Apple M1 integrates the CPU, GPU, Neural Engine, I/O, and more into a single system on a chip (SoC). All of this boosts the Mac mini to an entirely different level, as it features up to three times faster CPU performance, up to six times faster graphics, and up to 15 times faster machine learning with the 16-Core Neural Engine. You'll be able to work, play, and create on a Mac mini with more power and speed than previous models, making it suitable for home offices, gaming, music creation, digital art and signage, and more. Adding to the Mac mini's power is 8GB of RAM, which helps to ensure smooth multitasking and also allows the computer to quickly access frequently used files and programs.
The 8-Core GPU delivers a sharp, clear picture, and you'll be able to output video to an external display using the system's Thunderbolt 3 ports, which feature native DisplayPort output, or use the built-in HDMI 2.0 port. You'll be able to connect one 6K / 60 Hz display using Thunderbolt 3 and a second 4K / 60 Hz display using HDMI 2.0.
for storing your files, this Mac mini is equipped with a 512GB SSD that delivers speeds of up to 3.4 GB/s. If you want to add external peripherals, two Thunderbolt 3 / USB4 ports that support bi-directional transfer speeds of up to 40 Gb/s, as well as 10 Gb/s USB 3.1 Gen 2, plus charging and power for external devices. Thanks to two 5 Gb/s USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A ports, you'll still be able to connect other devices to this system. Gigabit Ethernet is built in for wired networking, or use Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) for wireless access. Bluetooth 5.0 technology will allow you to connect additional compatible peripherals, including keyboards, mice, and headsets. Sound is output using a 3.5mm headphone jack. Apple's Mac mini operates using an internal 150W power supply that runs off 100-240 VAC at 50 to 60 Hz.
This Mac comes preloaded with macOS. Updates can be downloaded for free via the Mac App Store. Please check Apple's website for upgrade eligibility Also, please be aware that a keyboard and mouse are not included.
The Apple M1 chip takes Apple's versatile, do-it-all desktop to another dimension. with up to three times faster CPU performance, six times faster graphics, and their most advanced Neural Engine for up to 15 times faster machine learning. Get ready to work, play, and create on Mac mini with speed and power beyond anything you ever imagined.
It's here. Apple's first chip designed specifically for Mac. Packed with an astonishing 16 billion transistors, the Apple M1 system on a chip (SoC) integrates the CPU, GPU, Neural Engine, I/O, and so much more onto a single tiny chip. with incredible performance, custom technologies, and improved power efficiency, M1 is not a next step for Mac - it's another level entirely.
M1 packs astonishing speed and power into Mac mini. The 8-core CPU delivers up to three times faster processing performance than the previous generation - all while keeping its iconic 7.7" square design.
The 8-core GPU in the M1 chip is the most advanced graphics processor Apple has ever built, full stop. And it brings the world's fastest integrated graphics in a personal computer to Mac mini, with a gigantic six times increase in graphics performance. That's an insane amount of power - all in an incredibly compact enclosure.
The 16-core Neural Engine is the brains of the operation. Machine learning (ML) brings task-smashing speed and automation to video analysis, voice recognition, image processing, and more. And the M1 chip brings a 16-core Neural Engine and full stack of ML technologies, transforming Mac mini into an ML powerhouse.
The integration of technologies on the M1 chip allows Mac mini to blow away computers many times its size - taking on intensive tasks while consuming up to 60% less energy than the previous generation.
The M1 chip brings 8GB of fast unified memory. This single pool of high-bandwidth, low-latency memory allows apps to share data between the CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine efficiently - so everything you do is fast and fluid.
This Mac mini comes with 512GB of all-flash storage for your photo and video libraries, files, and apps. And with speeds up to 3.4 GB/s, apps and files launch and load in an instant.
with its compact size, incredible performance, and wide array of ports, Mac mini is perfect for a surprising Range of uses. And with the powerful M1 chip unleashed within its 7.7" square frame, you never know where you'll find a Mac mini hard at work.
Mac mini turns any desk into a powerful workstation. Just add a keyboard, mouse or trackpad, and up to two displays.
The 8-core CPU, superfast unified memory, and ML accelerators in the M1 chip let you run more tracks, plug-ins, and filters in Logic Pro than ever before on Mac mini.
From jaw-dropping performance art to giant, immersive digital billboards, Mac mini can drive some of the biggest and brightest digital displays with its incredible performance, versatile I/O, and unrivaled power efficiency - all in an ultracompact design.
with two screaming-fast Thunderbolt / USB4 ports, two USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A ports, HDMI 2.0, Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), and Gigabit Ethernet, Mac mini is up for anything and everything.
Thunderbolt 3 is a hardware interface that utilizes the reversible USB Type-C connector. Doubling the speed of its predecessor, Thunderbolt 3 features a maximum throughput of 40 Gb/s when used with compatible devices. The connector also supports USB4, allowing you to connect to more peripherals, including the Apple Pro Display XDR in full 6K resolution.
Another first for Mac mini, Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) delivers better all-around performance and up to 1.2 Gb/s of throughput - for lightning-fast file transfers or backing up to Time Machine.
