The Mac Mini (trademarked as Mac mini) is a small form factor desktop computer manufactured by Apple Inc. Like earlier Mini-ITX PC designs, it is uncommonly small for a desktop computer: 7.7 inches (19.7 cm) square and 1.4 inches (3.6 cm) tall. It weighs 3.0 pounds (1.37 kg) and models prior to 2010 used an external power supply. The Mac Mini is currently one of three desktop computers in the current Macintosh lineup, the other two being the iMac and Mac Pro.
The Mac Mini was the first Macintosh desktop to not ship with a keyboard or mouse. In addition, there is no included display. The primary intended market for the Mac Mini was for "switchers" (users moving from a traditional Windows PC to Mac) who would already own a display, keyboard, and mouse, and other customers could easily purchase these if needed.[5] A special version of the computer is also intended for use as a server in a smaller system (such as a home network). It includes Snow Leopard Server and has a second hard drive instead of an optical disk drive.
The updated unibody Mini is notable as Apple's first computer to include an HDMI video port, more readily positioning the unit as a (more expensive) home theater device alternative to the Apple TV.[6]

Overview
A small form factor computer had been widely speculated and requested long before the release of the Mac Mini. There were people who wanted to buy a Mac but would not do so because it was too cost-prohibitive. Rumors predicted that the "headless iMac" would be extremely small, include no display, and would be positioned as Apple's entry-level desktop computer.[7] On January 10, 2005, the Mac Mini was announced alongside the iPod shuffle at the Macworld Conference & Expo and was described by Apple CEO Steve Jobs at the time as the "most affordable Mac ever".[5]
The Mac Mini is an entry-level computer intended for budget-minded customers. Naturally, it boasts much less processing power than the other computers of the Macintosh lineup. Unlike normal desktop computers, which use standard-sized components such as 3.5-inch hard drives, Apple uses lower power laptop components in the Mac Mini to fit all the necessary components into the small case and to prevent overheating, common in such compact spaces.[8] Because of the choice of components, the specifications on this machine are generally anemic and have slower and less storage and memory than general desktop computers would normally have.
In general, the Mac Mini has been praised as a relatively affordable computer with a solid range of features. However, the press also agrees that it is relatively high priced for a computer aimed at the lower segment of the market. It is possible to buy small form factor computers at the same price with faster processors, better graphics card, more memory, and/or more storage.[9] Nevertheless, the small form factor has made the Mac Mini particularly useful as home theater solutions.
On October 22, 2009, Apple introduced a new server version of the Mac Mini along with revisions of the computer. This model lacks an optical drive, but contains a second hard drive in its place. This version is marketed as an affordable server solution for small businesses and schools.
Another new model of the mini was introduced on June 15, 2010. The new model is thinner, has a unibody aluminum case that is designed to be opened, and incorporates upgraded hardware, such as an HDMI port and NVidia GeForce 320M graphics.
Design
The most notable feature of the Mac Mini is its size. The original design measured only 6.5 inches (16.5 cm) by 6.5 inches (16.5 cm) by 2 inches (5.1 cm). The exterior of the Mac Mini is made of aluminum capped with polycarbonate plastic on the top and bottom. The Mac Mini is designed to have no visible screws and is not meant to be upgraded by the user. The back of the machine contains the I/O ports and vents for the cooling system. It has an external power supply.
Mac mini was updated on June 15, 2010 and has been fully redesigned,[1] now being even slimmer than the previous models at just 1.4 inches (3.6 cm) tall. Cased in an all new aluminium shell, Mac mini is also now much lighter, weighing in at only 3 pounds (1.37 kg) and is one of the smallest computers in the world.
The current Mac Mini is designed to be opened using a round cover on the bottom of the computer. Previous versions of the Mini were much more difficult to open. Some Mac Mini owners managed to use a putty knife or a pizza cutter to pry open the cases of older Mini models, thereby gaining access to the interior to install cheaper third party memory upgrades.[10] In fact, the official Apple Service Source manual for Mac Mini describes this procedure in detail, even including an official Apple part number for a "modified putty knife". It's also possible to use wires to pull the white plastic bottom case out of the metal top case.[11] While opening the case does not actually void the Mac mini warranty, anything broken while the case is open is not covered.[12] Other modifications include hard disk upgrades, overclocking the processor (G4 only),[13] and upgrading the wireless networking (for older models) to 802.11n.[14] The 2009 model can have its SuperDrive replaced with a second SATA hard drive.[15]
With the switch to the Intel Core Solo and Duo line, Apple initially used a socketed CPU in the Mac Mini that allowed the processor to be replaced, however they switched to a new glue process with the 2009 model that does not allow for an easy upgrade. With the June 2010 revision, the case is designed to be readily opened by the user to add RAM.
Home theater
The Mac Mini is also used for home theater applications. The small footprint, CD/DVD player, multi-format video output, digital audio output, remote control IR receiver and the relatively powerful Intel Core 2 Duo processors make it easy to use the Mac Mini as part of a home entertainment system.[16]
It can be classified as a HTPC (Home Theater PC) with some limitations. The Mac Mini does not include an integrated TV tuner card and cannot be upgraded to install one internally. Instead external devices like Elgato's EyeTV USB adapter or SiliconDust's HDHomeRun networked TV tuner which will encode and manage broadcast television from a cable or satellite receiver.
The video connector on pre-2009 Mac Minis was compatible with DVI, HDMI (video only), SVGA, S-Video and composite video with the appropriate adapter. Sound is provided by a combination jack that uses both Mini-RCA (analog) and optical fiber cables (digital).[17] Unlike the Apple TV, the Mac Mini is backward compatible with televisions that have only composite or S-Video inputs. As of the June 2010 revision of the Mac Mini, the computer now sports an nVidia GeForce 320M graphics card, Mini DisplayPort which makes decoding high-resolution video much quicker and efficient. The addition of an HDMI port simplifies connecting the Mini to high-definition televisions and home theater receivers.
Because of the similar small form factor, HDMI port, remote control IR receiver, and media browser interface, some users see the Mac Mini as an Apple TV alternative. [6] It has both iTunes for media rental, purchase, and management, and a native user interface with Front Row, based on the user interface of the original Apple TV.[17][18] The Apple TV is limited to video in the mp4 format, whereas Mac Mini users employing the appropriate QuickTime codecs can watch other video formats like Divx, Xvid, and Mkv without resorting to hacks. The current intel Mac Mini models can display video via the HDMI port at a maximum resolution of 1080p, compared to the Apple TV, which is limited to a maximum resolution of 720p without third-party modifications.[16]
The Mac Mini can also be installed with third-party front-end media player applications for OS X-like XBMC, Plex, or Boxee, to be used as a HTPC (Home Theater PC). Earlier releases of XBMC support on the older PowerPC-based Mac Mini, while the other applications will only run on the Intel-based Mac Mini with the latest versions of Mac OS X.
Mac Mini G4
- The specifications below are from Apple's "tech specs" page,[3] except where noted.
Processors
The Mac Mini G4 uses single-core 32-bit PowerPC processors that have 512 KiB of on-chip L2 cache. The processor accesses memory through the front side bus, which is clocked at 167 MHz. The chips in these Mac Minis run at 1.25, 1.33, 1.42, or 1.5 GHz. The computer sports an ATI Radeon 9200 graphics processor with 32 MiB of DDR SDRAM standard. The high-end model of the last revision comes with 64 MiB of video memory instead.
Memory
The Mac Mini G4 uses 333 MHz DDR SDRAM, allows a maximum of 1 GiB of memory, and has only one slot for random access memory. This restricts both the maximum amount of available memory, which can greatly reduce performance by forcing the system to run in virtual memory, and, since the system is unable to take advantage of dual channels, maximum bandwidth. This issue was addressed in the Intel Mac Minis.
Storage
The Mac Mini G4 uses a single 2.5-inch Ultra ATA/100 hard drive, which offers a maximum transfer rate of 100 MB/s. Because of the Mac Mini's sealed enclosure, it is not possible to upgrade the hard drive without voiding the warranty of the system. The Mac Mini G4 also contains a second ATA cable that connects to the optical drive. A Combo drive was included as standard, while a SuperDrive capable of writing to DVDs was also an option.
External connectivity
The original Mac Mini includes two USB 2.0 and one FireWire 400 ports. Networking is supported with 10/100 Ethernet and V.92 modem ports, while 802.11b/g and Bluetooth were additional build-to-order options. The modem was later omitted from the Mac Mini, but an external modem remained an option. External displays are supported via a DVI port. Adaptors are also available for VGA, S-Video, and composite video. The system contains a built-in speaker and an analog 1/8-inch stereo mini jack for sound out at the back of the case.
In the last revision of the Mac Mini G4, the internal mezzanine board was upgraded to accommodate the AirPort Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technology onto one chip. In previous models, the Mac mini included an AirPort Extreme card taped to the mezzanine board and a separate Bluetooth module.[19] This new Wi-Fi card also no longer uses an MCX-Female connector for the antenna (as the previous models did) but rather a proprietary Apple one.

Notes:
1 The serial number and specifications sticker on the underside of the latest revision do not carry the actual specs of the upgrade. For example, on a 1.5 GHz model, 1.42 GHz is listed. The product packaging also did not reflect the upgrade. Apple did not revise the official specifications on their web site.[22]
Alternative operating systems
The Mac Mini G4 can run different operating systems designed for the PowerPC architecture. For example, a user can easily install the AmigaOS-compatible MorphOS. Debian or Ubuntu Linux can also be installed.[23][24][25][26] Unlike the Intel Mac Minis, the G4 versions are still capable of running Classic emulation, thus they are compatible with older Mac OS applications.
Intel-based Mac Mini
- The specifications below are from Apple's "tech specs" page,[3] except where noted.
Processors
The current Mac Mini uses a dual-core 64-bit "Penryn" Intel Core 2 Duo processor that runs at 2.4 or 2.66 GHz. Each CPU has a 3 MiB on-chip L2 cache that is shared between the two cores. Previous revisions used "Merom"-based Core 2 Duo and "Yonah"-based Core Duo and Solo chips.
While the Mac Mini G4 contained a separate graphics processor, all revisions of the Intel-based Mac Mini contain integrated GPUs. In Apple's early marketing of the Mac Mini G4, it touted the superiority of the use of a discrete ATI Radeon 9200 32 MiB graphics card over the integrated graphics included in many budget PCs.[27] The Intel GMA that was built into the Mac Mini was criticized for producing stuttering video, despite supporting hardware accelerated H.264 video playback, and disappointing frame rates in graphics-intensive 3D games.[28] However, the Nvidia GeForce 320M in the current model is considered the fastest integrated graphics processor on the market today, and touted by Apple to be twice as fast as the Nvidia GeForce 9400M used in previous models.
Memory
Unlike the Mac Mini G4, the Intel-based Mac Mini contains two slots for random access memory, which allows dual channel data rates. The original Intel-based Mac Mini uses 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, while models beginning with the early 2009 revision uses 1066 MHz DDR3 SDRAM. The current mid 2010 revision supports up to 8GiB of memory. The current model also features a removable bottom panel, so that the memory can be replaced by the user. Since the integrated graphics processor does not have its own dedicated memory, the system dedicates some of the main system memory for it.
Storage
The Intel-based Mac Mini moves away from the previously used Ultra ATA/100 to the newer Serial ATA interface, which offers a maximum 3 Gbit/s transfer rate. All models continue to use 2.5-inch hard drives as opposed to the 3.5-inch drives used in standard desktops. A server edition of the Mac Mini was introduced in October 2009, which omits the optical drive in favor of a second hard drive for a total of 1 TB of storage. A Combo drive was initially offered as standard, with the SuperDrive being an option, but currently, all models that have an optical drive contain the SuperDrive as standard.
External connectivity
The original Intel-based Mac Mini includes four USB 2.0 ports and one FireWire 400 port. Networking is supported with a built-in Gigabit Ethernet port and an integrated 802.11b/g AirPort card. Bluetooth was also made standard. External displays are supported through a DVI port. While the Mac Mini G4 supports only analog audio output, the Intel-based Mac Mini has separate Mini-TOSLINK/1/8" (3.5 mm) mini-jacks that support both analog audio input and output as well optical digital S/PDIF input and output.
The I/O ports were changed with the early 2009 revision. A fifth USB 2.0 port was added and the FireWire 400 port was replaced with a FireWire 800 port. The AirPort card was upgraded to 802.11a/b/g/draft-n and later to 802.11a/b/g/n. Bluetooth was also upgraded from 2.0 to 2.1. Instead of a single full-size DVI port, a mini-DVI port was added along with a Mini DisplayPort connection, which allows dual display support. Unlike the DVI port, the Mini DisplayPort supports external displays with a resolution up to 2560 × 1600, which allows use of the 30-inch Cinema Display with the Mac Mini. As of this revision, the Apple Remote is no longer included with the Mac Mini.

Unibody Mac Mini
Structure
Starting from the mid 2010 revision, a removable panel on the bottom of the unit is featured and the user can upgrade the RAM. In addition, the new Mac mini features an aluminium enclosure called the unibody. The unibody manufacturing process was originally developed for the MacBook Pro.[38] The power supply is also built in already without the need of an adapter. Another change is that this version has no Kensington Security Slot.[39] The fifth USB 2.0 port was removed for an SD card slot. An HDMI port replaces the mini-DVI port on the previous models as the main video connection. An HDMI to DVI adapter is included for those using a DVI interface. The HDMI port supports up to 1080p on HDMI connections and 8 channel 24-bit audio at 192kHz, Dolby Surround 5.1 and stereo output. With the HDMI to DVI adapter, the HDMI port will work with resolutions up to 1920 x 1200.
