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 512GB 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.

The best desktop in a mini size made by the company that drove us in the past 20 years

I replaced my 2014 8 gig mini with this 16 gig M1 model. My last few updates were like replacing an old bike with a newer one with a better bell. This is like going from a bicycle to an airplane. Am able to run Bridge, Photoshop and a browser so much faster and am able to work on photos in less that half the time. I’m very pleased.

Loaded with a 2Tb SSD, 16Gb of RAM, and USB-C connectors there is a significant increase in speed. This makes working with 450Mb to 1Gb panoramas is now possible. No problems interfacing the new silicon chip with Photoshop, Lightroom, or Colorchecker (X-rite). Heaven!

The perfect machine for my needs. I ordered the 16 GB version which, so far, has never used more than 7 GB. My work is mainly CAD, photography and Office 365 tasks and web surfing. B&H are a dream to deal with, my products; Mac Mini, 9th Gen iPad and keyboard where shipped promptly and arrived FAST and safe directly into my hands. Thank you B&H

Bought this device to replace an underperforming iMac. Easy setup, seamless connection to an older Thunderbolt monitor. Early days still, but I’m looking forward to years of great service. Speedy deliver from B&H — excellent as always!
