An update in 2014 brought a £100 price drop to the most affordable Mac, but rises in late 2016 added £80 back on. The mini comes with some interesting talking points: the entry-level model has a 1.4GHz dualcore Intel Core i5 CPU and 4GB of memory, making it one of the lowestspec Macs around, with a 500GB hard drive and no display. Higher-end models come with 1TB of storage included (Fusion Drive and SSD options are available), 8GB of memory, a better graphics processor and either a 2.6GHz or 2.8GHz Intel Core i5 for £679 and £949. Those models can be upgraded to a Core i7, but there aren’t any quad-core options available at the moment. Expect updates in 2017.
