With only one HDMI port, you'll have to either upgrade to a Thunderbolt 3 monitor or make do with an adapter if you want to connect to more than one monitor. On the back corner, there’s a power button as well as the increasingly rare (for Apple products, at least) 3.5mm headphone jack. Ports-wise, the Apple Mac mini (2018) comes with four Thunderbolt 3 USB-C ports, an HDMI 2.0 port, two USB-A ports, audio jack and Gigabit Ethernet, alongside a 10Gb Ethernet option. It means that it runs cooler and quieter as well – essential for a small form-factor PC. The move to a PCIe solid state drive (SSD) for storage doesn’t just make the Mac mini faster. Apple also asserts that the new Mac mini is made of 60% post-consumer plastic, mostly in the base, with the chassis made from 100% recycled aluminum. Within the same dimensions, the Mac mini affords a more powerful hardware than ever before, thanks to a redesigned thermal architecture that features a bigger fan, expanded vents and an overhauled power supply.Īpple has made some small changes to the Mac mini’s design – it now comes in the same Space Grey as the iMac Pro, though it’s the only color option this time around.

If you plan on utilizing your Mac for creative applications, the new Mac mini is a more affordable route, compared to something like the iMac Pro, which sets you back a whopping $4,999 (£4,899, AU$7,299) for the base model – though if you do have a lot of cash to shell out and you require a ton of power for things like video edting, we'd wait until the new Mac Pro 2019 rolls out in Fall 2019 starting at $5,999.įans of the compact, no-nonsense designs of previous Mac minis will be happy to learn that the new Mac mini inherits the same small, square-ish metal design that measures 7.7 x 7.7 x 1.4 inches (19.7 x 19.7 x 3.6cm) and weighs slightly heavier than the last Mac Mini at 2.9 pounds (1.3kg), compared to the older Mac mini’s weight of 2.6 pounds (1.19kg). If you switch any of the components, the price also change, which gives you some flexibility when it comes to balancing power with budget.

Ports: 4x Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C), 3.5mm headphone jack, 2x USB 3, HDMI 2.0, Gigabit EthernetĬonnectivity: 802.11ac Wi-F, Bluetooth 5.0 We’ll have to wait for some more fuel on the fire though before getting too over-excited ….Here is the Apple Mac mini configuration sent to TechRadar for review:ĬPU: 3.6GHz Intel Core i3-8100 (quad-core, 4 threads, 6MB cache) This could indicate that Apple is planning to release the new MacBooks earlier than the Mojave public release (expected to be late September).Įven if the product lands in September, this very well could be the first laptop brought to market that includes the new Intel chip. Notably, this is High Sierra, not Mojave. The benchmark says it is macOS 10.13.6 build 17G2110, which is around the same build number as the beta 5 released to developers yesterday.

Interestingly, this machine is running macOS 10.13.6, the OS point update currently being seeded to developers.

Indeed, this benchmarked model reports 16GB of onboard RAM. The benchmark suggests Apple is sticking with LPDDR3 RAM, which again means the possibility for 32GB of RAM upgrade option is unlikely. The supposed 2018 model benchmarks significantly higher, rivalling the 2017 15-inch MacBook Pro in the performance numbers. The 2017 13-inch MacBook Pro uses a dual-core Intel chip and benchmarks at around 4600 single-core and 9500 multi-core. What’s interesting is that the MacBook15,2 model identifier designation implies that this is a revision of the 13-inch MacBook Pro.

Intel specifications note this model comes with 8 MB 元 cache and Iris Plus integrated graphics. If legitimate, this benchmark hints at a solid CPU upgrade. Updates to the MacBook Pro are definitely due, but we haven’t really heard much from the rumor mill on what to expect. The quad-core CPU has a 2.7GHz base frequency and can turbo up to 4.5GHz …Ī refresh to Apple’s laptop line is generally expected by the end of the year, including a new MacBook Air replacement product with a 13-inch Retina display. This CPU runs up to 28W and is yet to ship in any product, so it would represent a modern update to Apple’s MacBook Pro line. The new MacBookPro15,2 model features an Intel Core i7-8559U Coffee Lake CPU. Note that Geekbench scores can be fabricated relatively easily, so this isn’t confirmation of an imminent revamp - but it’s certainly fuel on the fire. A Geekbench benchmark has surfaced that appears to reveal an upcoming MacBook Pro revamp.
