Up to 2x faster processors.
Up to 2x faster everything.
The latest dual-core Intel Core i5 processors come standard on Mac
mini. Choose a 2.3GHz or 2.5GHz dual-core Intel Core i5, or configure
Mac mini with an even faster 2.7GHz Intel Core i7. With up to 2x the
performance of the previous generation, Mac mini keeps up with computers
twice its size.
When you are using processor-intensive
applications, Turbo Boost 2.0 increases the clock speed up to 3.4GHz.
Hyper-Threading lets each core run two threads, so OS X multitasks even
more efficiently. And an integrated memory controller connects fast
1333MHz memory directly to the processor, so it gets right to work on
your data. In short, Mac mini is a little box of vroom.
Up to 2x faster graphics.
Game on.
The 2.5GHz Mac mini features a discrete AMD Radeon HD graphics
processor with 256MB of GDDR5 memory. That brings up to twice the power
to graphics-intensive applications and gives you a super-responsive
gaming experience. The Intel HD Graphics processor in the 2.3GHz Mac
mini delivers plenty of power for everyday tasks like managing photos
and editing HD video.
Thunderbolt. The fastest, most versatile I/O
in any desktop. Of any size.
The new Thunderbolt technology in Mac mini is phenomenally fast. It
features two 10-Gbps channels for data transfer. That is up to 12 times
faster than FireWire 800 and up to 20 times faster than USB 2.0. But
beyond speed, Thunderbolt technology gives you unprecedented expansion
capabilities. You can daisy-chain as many as six Thunderbolt
peripherals, including the new Apple Thunderbolt Display. And since
Thunderbolt is based on DisplayPort technology, your Mini DisplayPort
devices plug right in, too.
Storage and memory.
Make it as big as you need it to be.
Start with 500GB of storage.
And take it from there.
Mac
mini comes with a 500GB hard drive or an optional 750GB hard drive.4 So
you can pack in your photo libraries, movies, music, files, and more,
more, more. Choose the 256GB solid-state drive for your 2.5GHz Mac mini,
and it will be even more responsive, boot up even faster, and launch
applications in no time. Need to burn discs? The external USB-based
MacBook Air SuperDrive does the job for just $79.
Add memory with a twist.
Mac
mini comes with 2GB or 4GB of fast 1333MHz DDR3 memory. And thanks to a
removable bottom panel, it is easy to add more. Just give it a twist,
and you are in. Pop your new memory into the SO-DIMM slot, and you are
out. Or you can configure your Mac mini with 8GB of memory from the
start at the Apple Online Store.
