Detailed Product Description
Mac Mini Design and Build
Apple’s Mac Mini comes with a superb silver finish. It features a flat, square-shaped unibody enclosure weighing 1.18 kg and measuring:
- Height:58 cm (1.41 inches)
- Width:70 cm (7.75 inches)
- Depth:70 cm (7.75 inches)
Performance on the Mac Mini
The performance and efficiency of Apple silicon enable the Mac mini to outperform desktops many times its size, all in an iconic 7.7-inch square frame. The next generation of Apple silicon makes this the hardest-working Mac mini Apple has ever built. From rich presentations to immersive gaming, M2 flies through work and play.
Operating System
Apple’s macOS is the most advanced desktop operating system available. macOS Ventura makes the things you do most on Mac even better, so you can work smarter, play harder, and go further.
With macOS, your go-to apps run lightning-fast on the Mac mini — from Microsoft 365 to Adobe Creative Cloud to Zoom. And thousands of apps are optimized for M2.
The Chip on the Mac Mini
The Apple M2 Chip features:
- An 8-core CPU with four performance cores and four efficiency cores
- 10-core GPU
- 16-core Neural Engine
- 100GB/s memory bandwidth
Super Processing Speed
Mac mini with M2 packs the speed you need to get more done faster. Add to that a versatile array of ports, and you have a desktop ready to flex in any setup, no matter which chip you choose.
Memory and Storage
- 8GB Unified Memory (RAM)
- 256GB SSD storage
Mac mini comes with all-flash storage — up to an 8TB SSD for all your photo and video libraries, files, and apps. That’s up to four times as much as the previous generation.
Unified Memory for better data handling
The Unified memory on Mac does more than traditional RAM. A single pool of high-bandwidth, low-latency memory allows Apple silicon to move data more efficiently, so everything you do is fluid. Configure your Mac mini with between 8GB and 24GB of memory on M2.
Privacy and Security
M2 and macOS Ventura equip the Mac mini with industry-leading privacy and security features, surpassing those of its class, including built-in protections against malware and viruses. The next-generation Secure Enclave helps keep your system and data protected.
