Powerful specs
The Apple Mac Mini is more than just a desktop – it's designed with a whole load of power for the most intense design projects. And the bigger fan and new thermal architecture ensures everything stays cool and runs smoothly.
With a hexa-core processor, super-fast SSD storage and high-performance DDR4 RAM, this is the sort of desktop that can run almost anything. You'll be able to render massive files in no time, handle huge creative projects in Photoshop, then edit in Final Cut Pro X without feeling like you're being slowed down.
Versatile connectivity
Desktops need connectivity. Which is why the Mac Mini has versatile, lightning fast Thunderbolt 3 ports, as well as standard USB and HDMI ports. You'll be able to connect monitors however you want, plug in all your essentials and still have room for more.
And when it comes to getting online, you've got a fast Gigabit Ethernet port, so folders worth of images will download in moment.
Secure design
Thanks to the Apple T2 security chip, the Mac Mini is incredibly secure and will keep all your data private.
Want more power? You can use multiple Mac Minis together – you'll have the power to create new apps, design games, or render vast video files.
