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.

These aren’t equipped well for professional film use, but they perform quite a bit better than the specs would lead one to expect. For heavy lifting, I still go back to my Asus ZenBook Pro Duo, but the M1 Mini does handle Resolve and ColourLab Studio pretty well.

I have used Macs since the days of Jobs and Wozniak. I resisted buying a new Mac Mini because it did all that I wanted it to. And seriously kids, I likely was comfortable just doing the same old same old. The new Mac Mini does so much, I M APPRECIATING it especially during this isolation time for Siri, better pages program, spreadsheets, etc. AND B& H, was quick , responded to my problem with Fed Ex. My son now is replacing HIS mac mini with a new one from B & H.

My 2012 Mac Mini was failing, so this was a great purchase. That thing lasted almost 10 years or more. This new Mac Mini is fast, responsive and a great addition to any home office. Get this machine and never look back!

all the reviews said it was amazing. if you got a mouse and a monitor, you are all set. well, they all failed to say that you needed a retina monitor because for the m1 mini they took out the capability to font smooth and the fonts look like human waste product. it seems like they could fix it by adding a bit of code back. will they? do i have to buy a new monitor? of course, once i get the new monitor, THEN they’ll do a fix. right? i was so p’d i didn’t touch the thing for a month. anybody know anything about any of this let me know.

I purchased this for my husband as his windows computer crashed about two months ago. So far he loves it, though he had to get used to a few differences between windows and Mac. This computer is really fast for browsing the internet and having multiple windows open. It seems to have bluetooth which is great to connect AirPods with. Wish we were able to connect two monitors without needing an adapter though.

This machine is way better than my iMac 27 inch mid 2010

Purchased the M1 Mac Mini to run a small virtualization lab as well as host a music server. The 16GB RAM is a must. So far I’ve had zero issues with resource consumption and performance has been excellent. Highly recommend. B&H order processing and shipping was fast as always!

Great machine. It is an update from the Mac Mini Late 2014 version. It is super fast specially when working remotely from home.

B&H is a reference in electronics in the USA. Seriousness and professionalism. I received the product as agreed. About the Mac Mini M1, I only have compliments. First-rate equipment. Excellent performance. Thank you!

1. Airdrop fail to react to me for a large number of times. 2. Some of my R packages always lead to session-aborted, while on my 2015 macbook pro everything works out fine.

I bought this M1 Mac mini to replace my wife’s aging 2012 Mac mini. She is very happy with it, but I was blown away by the improved performance. No more spinning beach balls. Super fast startup, blazing fast app launching and crisp response are better than any other Mac we’ve ever owned. Highly recommended!

I switched from iMac 2009 to Apple Mac mini M1 Chip. Excellent deal for the price and quality. My problem is with the monitor. Although it is of excellent quality, it is difficult for me to adapt.

Like all apple products, they are of quality and very intuitive to use.

I always viewed the Mac mini as a “value” option often limited by its form factor – Not this time. This wrecks my 2019 16″ MacBook Pro in nearly all benchmarks, works beautifully with Logic Pro, and everyday tasks are quicker than ever. My only complaint is the lack of ports. I’d love an extra USB c port or two.

Upgraded my 2009 MacPro, what a huge step up. So much faster without the huge size and loud video card fans of my older computer. My only complaint is the price of the upgrades I paid double the price to upgrade to 16gb ram and a 1tb ssd. As a video editor had to have at least that much. I wish it had more expand ability… The screen black out randomly when using a usb c to hdmi cable, switching to hdmi port, which solved the issue. Been using for over a month without a problem.
