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.

Needed to upgrade my 10-year old Windows PC for use with Photoshop and some graphic design work. I never owned a Mac before, but switching has been almost painless, and this is a great machine at a price that was lower than the comparable Windows machines I was looking at. A little low on ports, but I don’t see that being a problem, as I still have two open after connecting my keyboard, mouse, drawing tablet, and external HD.

Nothing new to report here. Replaced an old iMac with this new Mac Mini. The M1 SSD combo is nice but not earth-shattering. Apple products have become increasingly expensive so the Mac Mini was the best bang for the buck. I’m actually going to try to install ubuntu on my old mac and see if it’s usable to break away from the big-tech overlords control. As far a B&H is concerned, their delivery was a day later than the estimate said, but still WAY faster than any other business I’ve ordered from. Definitely going to make this my tech retailer.

Mac mini M1 works as expected. It is quiet and snappy. Using Lighroom and DaVinci Resolve is finally a joy, not a struggle. I use it with two 32 inch Samsung 4K monitors from Costco and better rated cables from Amazon, 4k 60Hz on both of them. Initially, I hooked the second monitor from USB-C (Mac) to Displayport (monitor). That did not work, monitor appeared to be black and kind of frozen, I wasn’t even able to get to the monitor’s menu. Bought another USB-C HDMI cable (Anker) and life is good now.

I needed a desktop that could access everything I did on my iPad and vice versa. The mini does that flawlessly. I use it with a monitor I already had. Perfect solution to my needs and cheaper than a new Mac. B&H had a good price and shipped quickly.

I Love the new Man Mini Apple M1, really fast and easy to use. Transfer files from my MacBook to the Man mini was really easy.
Adrien Satterfield (verified owner) –
Maybe because it’s defective out of the box, it’s slow. Also noticed further dumbing down of icons and graphics…looking more like unimaginative PC stuff. Its function issues are, unfortunately, intermittent. Sent it back. Gonna get a laptop instead.

I replaced an iMac Pro with this machine and this destroys the iMac Pro in every way.

Packaging was secure and all was received in good condition. Set up was very user friendly and it has been smooth sailing with this little computer so far.

Overall I’m fairly happy with the 2020 Mac mini. I can keep several programs running with no problem, and it runs Adobe After Effects very well. I wish it had a second HDMI port since I’m currently having to connect a second monitor by trial and error. It also doesn’t want to keep my usb external hard drive (for Time Machine) connected when it goes to sleep.

This machine is all that was reported. So far I’ve had nothing but admiration for how buttery smooth everything is with the new Mini. Using Motion, Da Vinci Resolve M1 Beta has been a pleasure. I was going to wait for the M1 iMac but caught a special deal from B&H and am glad that I dipped into my lunch money. I bought the base unit and in hindsight might have opted for more storage, but that’s the only thing that’s close to a regret. Picking up a SanDisk 1TB Extreme PRO Portable SSD that’s close to the read/write of the internal and will house my home folder there. With iCloud storage used properly, I still have roughly half the internal SSD storage open.

Getting HDMI to work with my monitors can be a pain, which is something that should just work right out of the box. However, I expect this will be resolved in future software updates. Plus, the efficiency and speed of the M1 almost makes up for the inconvenience of needing to toggle inputs on my monitor and/or unplug/plug-in the HDMI every time I boot up.

As a filmmaker, speed and workflow are important. I was a PC guy for years and have edited on Premiere since the late 90s. My work machine is a 27 iMac 2020 model and although I was leaning on getting the same computer for my home studio, I went with the M1 Mac Mini because I already had a 27 inch screen at home and don’t like the keyboard nor Magic Mouse that came with my work iMac…. This is replacing an old 2015ish Windows PC that I used to make a few documentaries on. I recently upgraded the ram in my PC to 32gigs and yet I my PC was still crawling to render and export clips and files. As an example, a 48 minute clip of edited content would’ve taken almost 4 hours to render on my PC. The same sequence/clips took 8 minutes on my M1 Mac mini. I was floored. This thing barely makes a a sound. I opted for the 256gb storage version with the 16 gigs of ram. I bought a Samsung t7 external SSD and edit off that drive and everything is smooth as butter. scrubbing through my footage works perfectly without any hangups. Also keep in mind that I’m using Adobe Premiere Pro Creative Cloud which isn’t even fully optimized for the M1 chip yet (it’s at about 80% as of this writing) yet this thing works better than my 2020 iMac using the same version fo Premiere Pro. Long story short, just get it. You will not be disappointed in it.

Got this for video editing and it great so far, it does everything I need. Never having a MAC before did slow me down but hey you can almost always find a video to show you what you need nowadays!

I have looked at the Mac Mini with desire ever since it was released years ago. Instead I went with Apple laptops and iMacs, but with new Apple silicon I decided the price was right to give one a try. Set-up was quick and easy using a Magic Mouse and Apple Bluetooth keyboard. I’m using a Lenovo USB-C monitor. It recognized it right away. Highly recommended as an affordable way to enter the Apple ecosystem or as an addition to your other Apple hardware.

This desktop is perfect for college students like me. It is fast and can handle multiple development tools. I rarely use my MacBook Pro right now because this thing is a beast with a cheaper price tag.

Working so well so far, came looking brand new.
