Description
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 256GB 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.

This computer works great and efficient has some ports to support any peripheral’s.Content creators and new professionals would enjoy

It is fast but since I upgraded from an 11yo MacBook Pro, anything recent would be a huge speed bump up. I appreciate all the ports, backward and forward compatible. Setup was incredibly easy, transferred everything from a time machine backup. My only complaint regards the crappy speaker sound but that’s easily remedied with a pair of external speakers.

My previous Mac-mini still works but is no longer supported by software (a nasty trick by both Apple and Microsoft). Getting information from my old Mac-mini to the new one proved daunting. The solution was to copy all my information to an external hard-drive and just give up on making the transfer to the new Mac-mini. The folks at apple support were very helpful but the process of getting started was needlessly long and difficult. But, once you get it going, the machine is very fast and fun to use.Given that my older Mac-mini gave me over ten years of service with no problems and still works, I am hopeful to find the same with my new M1chip Mac-mini

Very satisfied with this Mac. Excellent performance upgrade over my older i7 machine, and easy to set up.

I’ve had several of these and don’t mind upgrading when a new one comes out. Upgraded to this one due solely to its M1 processor. The previous one was quite zippy and had no issues. I’ve found I can usually sell my last one for a good price, makes it easy to upgrade. This one works great, faster than its 300+mgh predecessor.

This is the first “early adopter” tech purchase I’ve made. My work is post production audio on Pro Tools for the last 15 years. On Mac, I’ve been had a couple of i7 iMacs, one from 2007 and another one from 2014. I was ready to replace it with an i7 Mac mini. As everyone in this business I was following the M1 craze and, just like everyone, I was wary of incompatibility issues. After dozens of hours scouring for first hand experiences from others in my field I decided to get the M1 mostly for future proofing my purchase. As I started installing all my software I was fully prepared to have at least half to not run at all. To my surprise, within Protools 2021.3.1, every single plugin from iZotope, Nugen, LiquidSonics, Plug-in Alliance etc.. ran flawlessly at a speed I hadn’t experienced in my any of my previous systems. I really can’t believe the performance of this machine, it runs sessions I could even open without commiting or freezing tracks. Now every current protect I’m delivering runs 100% better. Working with video encoded on Prores or DnxHD is truly flawless. Any graphic intensive plugin I own like iZotope Insight 2 for metering is runs great. LiquidSonics Cinematic Rooms Pro runs on almost double the amount of channels without clicks or pops from the interface. Running IZotope RX7 as audiosuite or sending clips to Connect round trip with RX7 audio editor works. As of yet the system shows no hangs or has crashed. The only plugin vendor I own that doesn’t work as of this posting is Waves, but it doesn’t really affect my workflow currently. I still have my previous machine ready for any hiccups with M1 but I haven’t even turned it on, and already delivered a full broadcast mix and a feature length documentary this week of ownership. Mileage WILL vary from user to user. For example some third party plugins within Logic Pro don’t show up at all. I know Apple Silicon support is only going to get better so I’m more than happy with my purchase. My experience has been truly great, I recommend it 100%

Constantly crashes when trying to use iMovie with simple 10 minute videos. Should have bought a PC. Unfortunately I can’t return an opened computer.
Darien Senger (verified owner) –
Bought this to replace an aging PC and MacBook Pro. Silent, fast, and has been able to handle everything I’ve thrown at it from music production to gaming to high end graphic development. Could use a few more USB ports, but nothing a dock can’t handle. Great machine, definitely buying another for my partner.

I bought the Mac Mini to see if it could compete with my 2016 MBP for Adobe Premier editing. I am not geeky enough to run programs to see how fast each computer is but I feel confident that the Mac Mini is every bit as fast as the completely tricked out MBP at approximately 20% of the price. No regrets over the purchase.

Love the Mac mini. Lowest price and shipped and delivered in no time.

Will definitely enjoy using this

I have been using Mac mini computer for years. I had already purchased a Mac mini M1 directly from Apple and was surprised by how much improved this latest model was. As such, I decided to buy another. This time I searched for the best price and found it at B&H Photo. I’ve purchased products from B&H in the past so I knew it was a reliable merchant. I consider this purchase a Win-Win. Great product, great price, and super quick delivery. Read reviews for the Mac mini M1 and reviews for B&H. You’ll see why I say it’s a Win-Win.

I know this is the least expensive model. But, it’s light years ahead of the last one I bought here 9 years ago. For me? It is very powerful for audio and video editing and processing.

Nice small size fits on desk nicely and is very fast but some of my programs do not work with the M1 chip yet.

Bricked on day one.

I’ve bought my first MacMini at 2006 (equipped with PowerPC G4). During that 14 years I’ve had a lot of mac – almost any model except the latest iMac Pro and Mac Pro. That one little guy with its 5nm M1 processor is ridiculous! It renders videos in Final Cut faster that MacBook Pro 16 i9/5500M of 2020s! Event with 8Gb of unified memory it kind of speedy. No more funs hum! Almost silent. Never heard internal fan. I wish more & more software producers will adopt their apps to gain full M1 power and to give us, users, all the capabilities off this tiny little beast.

the A1 chip is fantastic why bother with an mac when forr 699 you can get a macmini

This was on sale and I’d been looking at them for a while to use as a desktop machine for routine tasks (email, etc) and potentially photo editing. Compared to my usual MacBook Pro it was a little bit of a learning curve to adjust to no TouchBar or fingerprint sensor but it’s a quick adjustment. Works very well for the purpose and, at 8 GB of RAM, I’d prefer a bit more but so far I’m very happy with it. Very cool to the touch, no heat from it that I can detect, so the power advantages Apple claims from the M1 chip are justified.
