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.

Bountiful computer

We had an older mac for our design department and it was already difficult to work with. We ordered the M1 Mac mini and it was just what we needed! Smooth as butter.

I needed to get an updated Mac to replace my aging late-2012 MacBook Pro – which I have effectively been using as a desktop for the last several years. B&H had the best deal and availability so I went for it. The computer arrived in perfect condition just days after ordering it. I had a few questions which were answered in short order by the B&H Support Team – great job! I will be ordering more from these folks. Great selection and service – Bravo!

I was finally forced to replace my 2007 iMac due to lack of software updates and incompatibilities. Perhaps some who upgrade more often won’t think its much, but this Mac Mini totally blows my 13 year old Mac away. This little guy has some power behind it. Going with the 8 gig RAM/256 gig SSD was a risk but apps launch almost instantly. Except for my financial software (Quicken), all my critical legacy Intel 64 bit apps open and run … much faster than on the old iMac. So far only 1/3 of the SSD is used, plenty of space left. I’m not a gamer or graphic designer so I can’t speak for those apps, however HD videos play back fine whether locally stored or streamed. Photos and Pixelmator are quick and responsive. Extra plus: iPhone/iPad apps can be installed and run! There is some issue with apps designed for touch interface using a keyboard and mouse, but most have basic functionality. This is the future.

I was forced because of Adobe CC to upgrade my computer and this seemed like the way to go. I had no problem getting the latest Adobe CC installed and running as well as the latest ProTools. I was a little nervous about the new M1 chip but everything went smooth and so far I haven’t had any issues. This is not a powerhouse computer but it’s working great for the kind of projects I work on (light to medium). One little note, it runs very cool compared to the Intel Mac Mini’s which is good.

Great value with potent performance.16GB of RAM recommended.

This thing is fantastic. Just wished it had more ports and why I bought this dock: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1626290-REG/owc_owctb4dock_thunderbolt_dock_with_thunderbolt.html

I ordered the Mac mini with 16gb ram and 1tb ssd. Just as fast as my i9 intel MacBook Pro. Love the size for desktop. Everything just works for me. Love that I can use work specific software for my iPad on this mini because of the M1 chip! Can’t beat this price for something this fast.

I ordered the Mac Mini M1 with a 16gb memory upgrade. It was back ordered because I believe Apple at the custom make this configuration. I went on Apple’s site to see if they had anything for pick up. My configuration still had a long wait time on their site. This is the more affordable price for the Mac Mini M1 especially if you use the B&H Credit Card. I saved so much on tax.

It’s small, silent, powerful and cute, but display issues persist, and have not been fixed with the latest version of Big Sur. I am a professional photographer and retoucher, and I find that the M1 chip cannot reproduce detail in the shadows of low-key images without ugly gradient color banding. I’ve tested this with a Dell U2715U and BenQ SW270C. After calibration with i1 Display, both produced nice looking results, except in the dark areas. I compared both of these monitors with the same image on my Macbook Pro (i7), and the banding issue is nonexistent. I feel like Apple just doesn’t care. Hopefully a firmware update might fix…

I got the absolute least expensive Mac Mini … total entry level. I am using it for general video editing … and it actually works. If I had it to do over again, I would have got the next larger hard drive option, as well as the maxed-out RAM option. There is a way to always boot from an external hard drive with Mac, and that is what I have been doing since day one with this new Mini. I am using a very fast OWC external drive ( which cost nearly as much as the Mac Mini ) … so that is how I get around having the smallest internal hard drive in the computer and still do video work … always booting from the external drive has not been a problem at all for speed …. and it is a 2 terabyte external drive. To use an external drive as I am, a person needs to be sure that the external drive you are going to choose is for sure a bootable drive for Mac ( just sayin ). My old Mac Mini was from 2012, so this M1 is a huge upgrade …. Also … I would like to suggest that if you have not done so yet, you might want to read the entire service agreement that Apple has now …. carefully. Meanwhile, B&H as always is great to work with … I have been a long term customer.

The mac mini is the most amazing mini computer I ever had, overpowering many large bulky and more expansive windows desktop PC’s

So far so good,

This M1 Mac Mini has worked flawlessly. The only hassle is what all the thoughtful reviewers have already pointed out: This computer lacks an adequate number of ports. 2 USB-C, 2 USB-A, 1 HDMI is all there is. Many, many users will be buying a USB-C hub before long.
