Requires Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite or later.

The faster models can be upgraded with a 3.0 GHz dual-core i7 CPU.

Introduced 2014.10.16 at US$499 (dual-core 1.4В GHz i5, 4 GB RAM, 500 GB hard drive), US$699 (dual-core 2.6 GHz i5, 8 GB RAM, 1 TB hard drive),В and US$999 (dual-core 2.8 GHz i7, 8 GB RAM, 1 TB Fusion Drive).

Mac OSВ X includes support for remapping the Windows Alt and Option keys to Option and Cmd respectively.

Apple says buyers can plug in their favorite USB keyboard and mouse вЂ“ or buy AppleвЂ™s offerings. The Mac mini doesnвЂ™t include a keyboard or mouse. This is the first Mac mini with Thunderbolt 2, which has twice the bandwidth of the original Thunderbolt standard. To revive a phrase Apple has used for a long time, it just works. Best of all, this is totally transparent to the end user. The brilliance of Fusion Drive is that the operating system keeps track of your work patterns and will move files, data, and applications to the SSD or back to the hard drive based on usageВ information. It also reserves 4 GB of space on the SSD for use as a hard drive cache.

Fusion DriveДЇusion Drive treats aВ hard drive and SSD as a single volume, storing the operating system and all included software on the SSD and initially putting everything else on the hard drive. The Late 2012 model included FireWire 800. We anticipate the 3.0 GHz dual-core i7 Mac mini will score a bit over half that.ДЇireWire is absent. MiniВ has the highest 64-bit multicore Geekbench score yet for a Mac mini at 12689. This time around, there is no quad-core Mac mini.

The Late 2012 Mac mini was available in a quad-core i7 version.

For connectivity, thereвЂ™s Gigabit ethernet and 802.11ac WiFi (up from 802.11n on the previous Mini), along with Bluetooth 4.0. It can also be ordered with 16 GB RAM and a 256 GB, 512 GB, or 1 TB SSD.ДЄll Late 2014 models ship with OS X 10.10 Yosemite, support monitor resolutions to 2560 x 1600, have both HDMI and Mini DisplayPort output for dual-monitor support, include fourВ USB 3.0 and twoВ Thunderbolt 2 ports, and have an SDXC slot on the back. It can also be upgraded with the same 3.0 GHz i7 as the midrange Mini. ItвЂ™s also available with a 3.0 GHz Core i7 that Turbo Boosts to 3.5 GHz, giving it 13% more processing power than the stock chip.Д«uild-to-order options include 16 GB RAM, a 1 TB Fusion Drive, a 256 GB SSD, and a 3.0 GHz i7 CPU.ДЄt the top is the $999 2.8 GHz i5-based model (3.3 GHz Turbo Boost) that ships with a 1 TB Fusion Drive. That means itвЂ™s a lot more powerful than youвЂ™d expect a 1.4 GHz processor to be, something we covered earlier this year when covering the entry-level iMac based on the same CPU, which has also been used in the MacBook Air.Д«uild-to-order options include 8 GB or 16 GB of RAM and a 1 TB Fusion Drive.ДЇor those in need of more power, the midrange $699 Mini runs a 2.6 GHz i5 (Turbo Boost to 3.1 GHz, about 15% ahead of the low-end MiniвЂ™s Turbo Boost), ships with twice as much system memory, has twice as large a hard drive, and includes improved graphics. The $499 Mac mini has a 1.4 GHz Intel Haswell CPU capable of running at up to 2.7 GHz вЂ“ nearly twice its rated speed вЂ“ using Turbo Boost. There are three models: low-end, midrange, and top-end. Also, iFixit has a confirmed that the Late 2014 Mac miniВ ships with memory soldered to the logic board, soВ RAM upgrades areВ not possible. ItвЂ™s been almost two years since the Mac mini was last updated, and while a 1.4 GHz Core i5 CPU may not sound very powerful, the new US$499 price tag is sure to get your attention.
