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.

Love the Mac mini so far, and B&H has fast shipping and the only other availability I located for 16gb outside of Apple.

Runs all my graphic and music programs flawlessly. Very fast compared. It could use some extra ports.

I love the machine. It is quite an upgrade from my 2018. So far I have had none of the problems relevant to a small disk and bugs. Internet is super fast. Although I am not a professional computer user, I do use the computer in my Consulting business, and are satisfied with the improvements.

Great Mac Mini, love the compact size, easy to use, used to PC windows, works a bit differently which soon get used to and can master the MAC OS really fast, so far, no complaints

The Mac mini with the M1 chip has the heft to take on most any audio or image processing. It is a great choice if one has an existing monitor that uses HDMI input as the Mini has a dedicated full sized input.

Got my Mac Mini M1 For church live streaming and we are so happy with its processing and speed. Love the new M1 chip! Thank you B&H photo for the quick shipping and the outstanding service!

There are many issues I’m having with this brand new mini, like distorted fonts, screens savers not working, keyboards not working properly and many others. My 2011 mac (which this M1 mac was replacing) has much less issues (it essentially runs flawlessly). Sometimes newer is not necessarily better.

No more reading a book while the computer completes tasks. Now I can have FCPX, LightRoom, and PS open at the same time. Amazing little computer.

Got this to replace a 2012 Mac Mini model – they do hold up well. The M1 chip seems to provide fast performance, and was easy to set up and get going.

I was looking for a low cost way to upgrade from my 10 year old Mac. The Mac mini fit the bill perfectly- I was able to utilize my current Mac Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Machine is small and powerful and sits on my desk perfectly. I would highly recommend this machine.

Fast, fast, fast. It is a dream to use for Adobe Creative Suite.

We have not been aware that the M1 chip are not working with Windows 10. Quite a few programs that are not designed for the M1 chip are not working or not working correctly! We will most likely return the devise.

I have been wondering for quite a while how to replace my old iMac that died. After much research, I went with an external monitor and the Mac mini M1. I am delighted with its speed, performance, and size.

I am super impressed with the new M1 chip. Ran Geekbench testing and it is way faster than both of my somewhat older MacBook Pros. We’ve decided to get multiple of these for our small office. I highly recommend this to anyone.
