Mac mini

It was a long wait, but Apple has finally updated the Mac mini. The company said upgraded processors were heavily requested, and it has obliged with new Intel four- and sixcore processors. The base model starts with 8GB of memory that can be boosted to 64GB. All models come with SSDs as standard, going from 128GB all the way up to 2TB.

As with other recent Macs, the Mac mini has the T2 security chip built in, enabling HEVC encoding that’s up to 30 times faster.

The mini benefits from a speedy connectivity boost with the addition of four Thunderbolt 3 ports, as well as two USB-A ports and an HDMI 2.0 port. There’s also an option of 10Gb Ethernet for an extra £90.
