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.

Desde mi ultimo Apple IIC y mi larga vida con PC, regreso con Apple con este nuevo Mac mini M1, el cual me parece perfecto para mi trabajo fotografico. Aun no lo tengo en pleno uso, pero ya veo que me va a cambiar la vida. Lo recomiendo

This is an upgrade from an old 2011 Mac Mini I’ve been using for almost a decade and I am glad I made the upgrade. Extremely fast startup, all programs run quite smooth. I’m glad I went with the 16gb ram and 1tb hd!

I been using the Apple mini M1 for just a week, and I’m still busy trying to customize it to my usage. But that said so far it’s a great little box. To date, just a week it’s great.

I’ve owned Macs since the beginning. This is the first time I am disappointed with the number of bugs I am dealing with. Bluetooth issues- doesn’t recognize my mouse. Display issues- Resolution changes by itself. I need to reset the scaled version that I prefer 2-3 a day. This is not against B&H, they are great.

Advantages: cheap, M1 strong performance, can be good easy to use FCPX scissors 8K, no heat, good quiet. You can run apps for iPhone, iPad, or MAC OS. Disadvantages: The old mould is still used. M1 should be replaced to make the main engine more mini. I hope it can be like NUC. Connection Keychron K6 always has a long wait to wake up, connection TV does not support TV connected speakers. Some software doesn’t work properly.

Personal experience supports the predominant positive reviews on Youtube. Not enough ports as you would expect from Apple, so you will need some type of hub.

I bought this 8GB M1 Mini Mac for my daughter to replace her five years old lower end iMac. I myself own a maxed out 2017 i7 iMac for video editing. I have to say for the money this is a no brainer. You can find countless YT reviews out there which will show you how fast this computer is. For me personally I don’t know if it is because of the new M1 chip or its SSD or if it’s the new OS Big Sur. But it just quick. Every app opens immediately. Browse thru webpages instantly. My daughter use it for her virtually classes and online gaming with no lags. We love it. The only issue is the Bluetooth. Which I believe it is a known issue now. I would think Apple will have an update to fix it soon. My Bluetooth mouse will disconnect occasionally which could get very annoying. But it hasn’t done it for the last few days. Perhaps it has already auto updated and fix it. So over all I;d highly recommend this M1 version of Mac Mini. If you are looking to not spend a lot of money. Keep in mind you will still need to get a monitor, keyboard, mouse, camera and speakers. You could probably get those covered around $200.

Super fast and a great upgrade from my old imac!
Keara Ritchie (verified owner) –
The basic computer works fine and is easy to set up. B & H was professional, as usual. My problem occurred when moving my old computer data to the new one since I did not exclude Applications. That ended up doubling key programs which in turn locked me out of mini Mac Preferences. Two Apple consultants, then a supervisor, responded immediately and walked me through an erasure, then downloading new OS, then correctly moving my file. GREAT support and not for the first time. RB

So far so good. It’s powers up like a pro. Everything is so quick. You will save so much money buying this over an iMac.

We bought this to replace a 27-inch iMac (2017 model) with 1TB SSD and 16GB RAM. The iMac was still fine for most daily tasks, but it struggled with a recent 20-minute video editing project. Buying the M1 Mac mini with 1TB SSD and 16GB RAM was a great upgrade; the renders for the video project went from a terrible 3-hour wait (and jerky previews) to nearly real-time (and smooth previews). All of our daily software is already updated for the new Apple Silicon architecture, but even the few translated Intel-only apps haven’t caused any difficulty. Drawbacks: 1) There really is no monitor comparable to the 27-inch iMac’s 5K screen. We’ve settled on a usable 28-inch 4K display for now. 2) Bluetooth performance is worse than on the iMac. The latest macOS update seems to have helped, but only a little. 3) A USB or Thunderbolt dock is almost a requirement, especially if you use SD cards or need to attach/detach USB devices.

Fantastic stuff. I would have sprung for a larger HD but considering it wasn’t available and this was a business need, got this one instead. Processing power is great, iOS apps on MacOS is great. For all the faults with Apple, at least the hardware is always nice.

I picked this up for my wife’s replacement Mac (a 2015 iMac). The speed is surprisingly very fast. Native M1 apps open almost instantly. Non-native apps open faster than the old iMac. Due to the small hard drive, I did get a Samsung solid state external storage drive connected via USB C and put the entire photo library on it and there is no noticeable lag scrolling through thousands of photos. This puts the speed of my work Mac (Intel 4.2 GHz i7) to shame too!

I’ve had this Mac mini for about a month now. I noticed issues with reconnecting with my bluetooth keyboard and track pad (which meant I couldn’t do anything until I restart the computer) coming out of sleep mode. I seemed to get gradually worse, more common. I upgraded the software available a few days ago and since then no problems – so far.

The Mac-mini M1 is fantastic! Very fast and responsive. Programs load instantly. This is now my daily use computer. Migrated from Windows 10. No regrets!
