Description

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.

  • Part racehorse, all workhorse

    In addition to being a great desktop computer, Mac mini powers everything from home automation to giant render farms. And now Mac mini has even more compute power for industrial-grade tasks. So whether you're running a live concert sound engine or testing your latest iOS or iPadOS app, Mac mini is the shortest distance between a great idea and a great result.
  • Climb in, geek out

    Mac mini features high-performance 2666MHz DDR4 SO-DIMM memory for faster rendering, working with massive files, or running multiple virtual machines.
  • Haul apps

    Mac mini includes all-flash PCIe-based storage, with up to four times the read speeds of previous flash options. So you can load giant files and launch apps faster than ever.
  • Next-generation security

    Mac mini features the Apple T2 Security Chip - second-generation custom Mac silicon designed by Apple to make Mac mini even more secure. The T2 Security Chip consolidates several controllers into one and includes a Secure Enclave coprocessor that provides the foundation for encrypted storage and secure boot capabilities.
  • I/O, I/O, it's off to work you go

    With a variety of ports, Mac mini is ready for a variety of workflow configurations. Thunderbolt 3 is a powerful and versatile port - and Mac mini has four of them. The HDMI 2.0 port delivers more bandwidth than its predecessor, so you can enjoy faster frame rates.
