Apple had a lot in store for us at the Apple October Event which took place yesterday, We already mentioned that Apple announced the MacBook Air 2018 yesterday at this event. There was plenty more to announce as well. Among the announcements was the launch of a refreshed Mac Mini. Mac Mini is a flagship product from Apple which delivers great performance in a minified box-like CPU. Now, the Mac Mini is made more powerful but the size is still the same which is same as your average cardboard box.
Talking about the performance in the latest Mac Mini, it now delivers up to 5x more performance than the previous version. This is because the Mac Mini now has either 4 or 6 core CPU which is Intel’s 8th Generation chipsets up to Core i7. Also, the Mac Mini now comes with up to 64GB of RAM and 2TB of SSD storage capacity so that you are never out of memory. Same as the MacBook Air 2018, Apple Mac Mini also comes with Apple’s very own T2 security chip which helps in encryption.
On the contrary, there are plenty of ports on the Mac Mini too unlike the MacBook Air 2018. The Apple Mac Mini now has 4 Thunderbolt 3 ports, 2 USB A ports, an HDMI port which can be used to connect to external monitor or ethernet port with support of up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The Mac Mini prices start at $799 in the US for the base variant which comes with 8GB of RAM and 128GB SSD storage. Another change is that the Apple Mac Mini now comes in the flagship Space Grey colour. As we all know, Space Grey is a colour which every Apple product is known for. As mentioned earlier, you can configure the Mac Mini up to 64GB of RAM and 2TB of SSD.
