The Mac mini (stylized with a lowercase “mini”) is a desktop computer made by Apple Inc. It is one of four desktop computers in the current Macintosh lineup, serving as an alternative to the all-in-one iMac, and sitting below the performance range iMac Pro and Mac Pro.
The Mac mini is Apple’s only consumer desktop computer since 1998 to ship without a display, keyboard, or mouse. Apple initially marketed it as BYODKM (Bring Your Own Display, Keyboard, and Mouse),[3] pitching it to users switching from a traditional PC running operating systems such as Microsoft Windows.[4] It uses many laptop components to achieve its compact size.[5]
Apple updated the line on October 23, 2012 with Ivy Bridge processors, USB 3.0, and upgraded graphics.[54] On October 16, 2014 the line was updated with Haswell processors, improved graphics, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, and Thunderbolt 2. The FireWire 800 port was replaced with a second Thunderbolt port. The price of the base-model was lowered by $100. The only change to the body was the removal of the two holes used to open the case, as the memory was no longer upgradable because it was soldered to the logic board. Since the integrated graphics processor does not have its own dedicated memory, the system shares some of the main system memory with it.[55] 4K video output via HDMI was added.[56]
