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.

Absolutely love this computer. Everything I need for doing my Lightroom and Photoshop work. So glad I went in this direction!

I discovered that the standard iMac with M1 chip is about the same as a Mac mini but the Mini has twice the RAM and storage, saving me roughly $800 (since I already had a 34 monitor and leftover mouse and keyboard from previous iMac. B&H not only had it in stock (rare enough these days) but had it shipped by end of the same day. I received it in less than 48 hours from when I ordered it. Thanks B&H!

This is a wonderful computer. Fast, great image quality. Sound it’s not so good though. Great for development, foto edition, video editing. Great for students or Mac OS beginners

First time user of Apple and am very please with this purchase. Super fast and the transition to Apple was seamless. B&H tech steered me in the right direction on this purchase and my other purchases. I am definitely a fan of B&H for my past camera purchases and now computer needs. There staff are exceptionally knowledgeable.

La compre con el propostio de conectar un monitor, un proyector y un monitor extra para usarlo como preview. Pero la Mac mini M1 es eso, mini porque solo funciona con dos monitores. Y si, ya lo intente con varios convertidores y apple bloquea las seales para monitores extras…

Ive been editing 4K footage, doing color grading and 3rd party transitions on my M1 Mini and it doesn’t blink, seamless scrolling and no dropped frames, super fast with other programs as well. Couldn’t be happier with this purchase. 5 STARS ALL THE WAY!

Don’t recommend trying to bring all your programs over to this new system. better off with clean install and reload your programs as you need them. nothing works right totally freezes. After clean install computer screams and I am pretty happy with it

I have been a technologist since 1989, as well as the Educational Technology Director of a large Brooklyn private school. As such, I have owned and used many different computers in both the Windows and Mac world. I am pleased to say that the Mac Mini lives up to its hype in every way and that the new M1 chip is superior in kind and degree to any other computer chip on the market. Graphics are crystal clear and the speed is simply amazing – all this with the entry level model – 256GB SSD and 8GB of RAM. Don’t simply buy this machine – run and buy while you still can!

I haven’t had much time to put 4k video through it, but from what I’ve seen so far, I’m extremely impressed by how powerful this thing is!

Extremely fast. I am so happy with this new system

I replaced a 7-year old Mac mini (used as a music server & photo display source for a big TV) with this 2020 model. Looking back at the price I paid for the 2014 model, also with 16GB of RAM, this is a great value, with much better performance and a good mix of USB C and A ports.

I love the mini Mac, I had windows HP computer which gave me lot of problems I reformatted 3 times, and still there was a problem. So I was happy to buy the mini Mac and so far there is no problem whatsoever. Woody

I went thru three (3) keyboards for my 2015 MacBookPro. It was time to evolve. I was thinking of another laptop but considered the expense of replacing the screen & keyboard. That’s why I chose the Mac mini at less than half the cost of a replacement M1 laptop. I can have a much broader choice of screen and keyboard at a fraction of the cost. The Mac mini can be placed anywhere. No noise. And easily configurable. I’m a happy camper. 🙂

As advertised and best price from B&H!

This thing is a monster with the M1. Wow. Unbeatable for the price too. I needed to upgrade and my friend mentioned Mac Mini instead of a new Mac Pro. This saved me $1400 for the exact same specs as a new Mac Pro. Brilliant. Runs all my camera, streaming, audio, and editing equipment and software like a dream. No more sitting and watching the Activity Monitor like a hawk to see why my system is bogged down. Plus the 1TB SSD, I don’t have to dedicate sit down time every week to port my work onto an external hard drive. Highly recommend for content creators who need to upgrade.

The Mac Mini is everything I love about a Macbook, but in a small, cost-efficient package. It felt like a seamless transition from my old Macbook Pro to this–I remember the days when getting a new computer set up was an ordeal but this was as simple as getting a new iPhone. It seems to do everything quickly and efficiently; the 16MB and 512GB were probably overkill but I’m confident this machine will last me for years. B&H got it shipped out quickly and delivered ahead of promised date; I’m happy!

My aging iMac needed upgrading and I was looking to go with the new M1 Mac Mini since it offers an impressive value (best value in the Apple lineup). I use Adobe PP & Avid PT’s and both apps work flawlessly on this little guy. Everything so far has been smooth. Mind you I’m not a power user but for those looking for a solid performer for a modest price then this may be the ticket for you. It was (is) for me.

A brilliant upgrade for a reasonable cost (upgraded my work computer from a 2017 iMac with its doggy 5400 rpm hard drive to this Mac mini.). Run, don’t walk, to get this Mac mini if you have an older Mac that takes 20+ icon bounces to open MS Outlook and slows to a crawl sooner rather than later. I’m running the 2017 iMac with an external SSD as the boot disk now, and that sped things up there.
