There's Gigabit Ethernet for office networks, and 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4 for wireless connectivity. The back of the unit houses 4 x USB 3 ports, 2 x Thunderbolt 2 ports, and an SDXC card slot. The power supply is built into the body, so there's no power brick to cause any clutter, and for showrooms and point-of-sale systems it's possible to keep the Mini out of sight with a specialist stand.ĭespite the small chassis, the Mac Mini has all the connectivity options you'd find in a full-size desktop system. It doesn't take up much space and the 1.2kg weight makes it as portable as an Ultrabook. The Mini can be placed flat or vertically on a desk. The Aluminium chassis remains, but it's as elegant and compact as ever. The external design of the Mac Mini hasn't changed since 2010. That may sound enticing after such a long wait, but if you're expecting a radical update, you're going to be disappointed.
