In addition to being a great desktop computer, AppleMac mini powers everything from home automation to giant render farms. And now with eighth-generation Intel quad-core and 6-core processors and Intel UHD Graphics 630, 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.
Mac mini features high-performance 2666MHz DDR4 SO-DIMM memory for faster rendering, working with massive files or running multiple virtual machines. And now you can configure even more memory - to run even heavier workloads.
Mac mini now 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.
Mac mini features the Apple T2 Security Chip - second-generation custom-engineered 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.
Mac mini is optimised for performance across the board. Here's how it compares to the previous generation
With a variety of ports, Mac mini is ready for a variety of workflow configurations. Thunderbolt 3 is our most powerful and versatile port ever - and Mac mini has four of them. The new HDMI 2.0 port delivers more bandwidth than its predecessor, so you can enjoy faster frame rates. And now Mac mini can be configured with 10Gb Ethernet so it's ready to move mountainous files and monstrous data up to 10 times faster.
Thunderbolt 3 gives you some seriously productive possibilities. Transfer data at up to 40 Gbps. Charge and power external devices. Connect up to two 4K displays - and even a third with HDMI 2.0 - or one 5K display. Or pair Mac mini with an eGPU for desktop-class graphics performance.
Because of its size, performance and wide array of ports, Mac mini goes where no Mac has gone before. And now with even more cores packed into its 19.7-centimetre-square frame, you never know where you'll find a Mac mini - or dozens of them - hard at work.
Featuring all-new, dedicated apps for music, TV and podcasts, smart new features in the apps you use every day, and Sidecar, which lets you use iPad as a second Mac display.
