Product Features
  • An incredibly compatible computer
    If you already have it, chances are you can use it with Mac mini. Plug in your own display, keyboard, and mouse. Turn it on. And just like that, everything works together. You can even swap peripherals with another desktop computer. That’s one of the great things about Mac mini. You can mix and match it with just about anything.
  • Mac mini comes to the big screen
    Like movies and TV shows from iTunes, the Internet, and your photo library. There’s also a handy control that lets you easily adjust the output on Mac mini to fill even the biggest HDTV screen. And when you just want to listen to music, you can play your entire iTunes collection through your home entertainment center, or stream it to a set of speakers in any room.
  • Plenty of ports make it ready for anything
    Mac mini makes things happen. It can connect to any digital display right out of the box. Mac mini comes with Mini DisplayPort output, so it’s ready to connect to the Apple LED Cinema Display or a third-party display you already have. You can even connect two displays to see more of your photos, movies, and files. Mac mini gives you ports galore: four USB 2.0 ports and one FireWire 800 port, so you can plug in your keyboard, mouse, iPod, iPhone, iPad, digital camera, DV camcorder, external hard drive, printer, and just about any other device you use.
  • Souped-up graphics
    Mac mini refuses to act its size. It gives you NVIDIA GeForce graphics – and speedy DDR3 memory. This graphics processor delivers up to twice the performance of the previous generation. It brings more pixel-pushing power to the 3D games and graphics-intensive applications. And you’ll notice a big difference when you work with high-resolution photos and high-definition video. The most surprising part? You don’t have to sacrifice efficiency for speed. The NVIDIA GeForce is more energy efficient than its predecessor. All of which proves you really can do more with less.
  • More memory, more oomph
    A little Mac mini goes a long way. Mac mini supports twice the memory of the previous generation. So you can run more applications at the same time. Mac mini is powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, with a superfast 1066 MHz front-side bus and 3 MB of L2 cache for a nice little performance boost, which goes to show that size can be deceiving.
  • Instant connection
    The 802.11n wireless technology is built into Mac mini. It automatically connects to your Wi-Fi network, so you can get right down to surfing the web, printing, and streaming your music wirelessly. Bluetooth wireless technology is also built in, so you can connect accessories such as a wireless keyboard and mouse.
