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.

Liked the features and price. Have used virtually every Mac (including clones) since 1988. Have iPhones, an iPod and an iPad. Excited that Apple is designing their own hardware.

i like it

Awesome desktop. The computer power is crazy,, faster and more powerful than my old MacPro. It is also absolutely silent and runs cool. Wish it had a few more T3 ports. The big letdown is Big Sur which is still full of bugs (never install a new software upfront, unfortunately there is no choice here). Hopefully Apple will fix the bugs in the not too distant future (Loss of BT connection, black screen,….).

I did a previous research on compatibility for my usual programs and utilities and 90% already supported Apple’s silicon, the rest were on beta testing or could run under Rosetta. The user experience is excellent. Superior performance on a convenient form factor. Totally worth it!

Needed to upgrade, and this was highly recommended from my partner. My old machine was 11 yo, so it was a bit out of date. Anything will seem like it runs faster in comparison, but this is beautifully slick, fast, and takes up almost jo space on my desk. Just wonderful! However, keep in mind that there are only two each USB-A and USB-C ports.. that gets used up fast. My set up includes a drawing tablet and external HD (USB-A), so there are those two used. A second monitor takes up a USB-C… I needed at least three more USB-A ports, so I got a HUB to facilitate that. So far, so good!! I would highly recommend this, with the caveat that you need a hub for either additional USB-C or USB-A. Just keep that in mind!

I purchased this Mac to replace an 8 year old PC in my voice-over business. This machine is WAY under-rated. It’s lightning fast compared to my old PC. I had it configured with 16gb RAM and a 1TB internal SSD drive. I realize it’s not really fair to compare the two but I love this Mac. After 40 years of loyalty to PCs and Windows I think I’m a convert!

Enjoying the performance. I wrote 4K videos from a Sony mirror less a7iii. Cut through way better than my previous Mac which was not up to par. Good home machine

Fast, cool and quiet. Good price for loaded machine (16GB/1 TB).

I have had this computer out of the box for 1 day and have already cut up a 1080p 60fps project in iMovie. Did not stutter at all and previews/timeline is instant. This is by far the fastest computer I have ever had. Only downside is that my HDMI to DVI adapter did not work with it (but works just fine with a Dell Latitude 5410). It gave me a fuzzy screen. Hooked up a Dell HDMI to VGA and it works now. Not sure if this is a Big Sur problem or physical. Have a USB-C to DVI on order – we’ll see if that works.

Love this thing, $200 less than the model I bought a year ago plus I get apps and it’s faster.
Brenna Ward (verified owner) –
After so many years of incremental steps between new models, the new M1 was a dramatic increase in power and performance compared to my Intel MacBook Pro.
Noe Huel (verified owner) –
This Mac mini is dedicated to running my church’s streaming video and does a great job! We are using OBS software and streaming to Facebook/Youtube with no issues. We run HDMI input with an Elgato Camlink 4k and capture the audio with a USB, wireless lapel mic. The order timing and delivery estimates were right on with no surprises. The box was surrounded with additional packaging and box and no shipping damage at all. I will probably buy a second one to have for personal use.

I’ve had the Mac mini m1 for less than a month. It’s working great so far. No complaints
Wendy Bosco (verified owner) –
This computer delivers a lot of bang for the buck. With the new M1 chip this is the fastest computer in its class that I have seen so far. It serves us well as a second computer for all of our day to day functions and more.

I am on a computing budget, I was using what was a high end at the time of purchase, but getting older Intel based MacBook Pro for Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. The M1 chip is amazing. All things that used take minutes, now take seconds (Panoramas, Exports, Enhancements, etc) … and at half the price of the old machine. Go Apple!
Helga Cummerata (verified owner) –
The Mac mini is fast quick and nimble, but right now a lot of the DAW, audio interfaces, and plug ins don’t quite support the M1 processor as of now. Hopefully soon this will change and I’ll be able to see the power of the new chip.

B&H made it so easy to buy exactly the configuration I was looking for. Quick ship, careful packaging.

I *upgraded* to this system from a 2018 Mac mini with a six-core Intel i7 and have found the M1 performance hype to be true, at least in this case. Note that I typically use Apple apps, including Final Cut Pro for video editing, and Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom. The Apple apps and Adobe Lightroom have been optimized for M1 and run *significantly* faster than their x86 versions run on the Intel i7 chip; there is *at least* a 50% increase in performance, across the board. Adobe Photoshop, which has not yet been optimized for M1, still runs noticeably faster via emulation than it does on the i7. On top of the performance increase, the M1 system cost $500 less than the i7 system. Two potential problems with the M1 system are the limit to a 16GB memory space and lack of support for external GPUs. These are undoubtedly the reasons why Apple still classifies the i7 version as high-end. While these limitations do not impact my work, depending on your needs, they may impact yours.
