Prior to the launch of 2020’s Mac mini M1, you could get the 2018 Apple Mac mini in two types of processing speed: the 3.6 GHz Mac mini Core i3 ($799) and the 3.0 GHz Mac mini Core i5 ($1099).īut back to the Mac mini M1: this is Apple’s very first System-on-chip device. Surprisingly, the Mac mini has been around since 2005 – launched at the same time as the iPod shuffle.Yet as with everything Apple do, its design and functionality have changed quite a bit since then. For example, if you already have a screen, keyboard and mouse, you can pair these with the Mac mini instead of purchasing new ones (although you can opt for the Mac mini to arrive with them). It may seem odd at first, yet the Mac mini is mostly used to power up another device making it more of a flexible purchase. The Mac mini is shipped without an accompanying screen, keyboard or mouse as Apple likes to say, it’s “BYODKM” (Bring Your Own Display, Keyboard, and Mouse). The Mac mini is a small desktop computer made by Apple. If you want to know everything about the Mac mini– from what it is to how to set it up (and why it’s better than a regular PC)– then read on.
A computer that can be used for digital signage. It’s a small, portable desktop computer that can turn any screen into a Mac-powered smart computer.
Apple’s Mac mini is exactly that: a mini Mac.
