The original Mac miniA computer had been widely speculated and requested long before the release of the Mac mini. Rumors predicted that the 'headless iMac' would be extremely small, include no display, and would be positioned as Apple's entry-level desktop computer.
On January 10, 2005, the Mac mini was announced alongside the at the and was described by Apple CEO at the time as 'the cheapest, most affordable Mac ever'.The Mac mini was intended as an entry-level computer intended for budget-minded customers. Unlike regular desktops, which use standard-sized components such as 3.5-inch and full-size 's, the Mac mini used low-power laptop components to fit all the necessary components into the small case and prevent overheating. Design and repairability The exterior of the Mac mini was made of aluminum capped with polycarbonate plastic on the top and bottom. The original design had no visible screws and was not meant to be upgraded by the user. The back of the machine contained the and vents for the cooling system. It had an external power supply rated at 85W.Some Mac mini owners used a or a to pry open the cases of older models to gain access to the interior for installation of cheaper third party memory upgrades.
Apple describes this procedure in detail, including an official Apple part number for a 'modified putty knife'. Processors The Mac mini G4 used single-core processors with 512 of on-chip L2 cache. The processor accessed memory through the, which was clocked at 167 MHz. The chips in these models of Mac mini ran at either 1.25, 1.33, 1.42, or 1.5. It also had an ATI graphics processor with 32 of DDR SDRAM in the standard editions, which was upgraded to 64 MB VRAM in the high-end version of the final Mac mini G4 in 2005.Memory The Mac mini G4 uses 333 MHz DDR SDRAM, allows a maximum of 1 of memory, and has only one desktop DIMM slot for. This restricts both the maximum amount of available memory, which can greatly reduce performance by forcing the system to page to the hard disk, and, since the system is unable to take advantage of dual channels, maximum bandwidth. This issue was addressed in the Intel models of Mac mini by using two notebook DIMM slots.Storage The Mac mini G4 uses a single 2.5-inch /100, which offers a maximum transfer rate of 100 /s.
Because of its sealed enclosure, it is not possible to upgrade the hard drive without opening the enclosure and possibly voiding the warranty of the system. The Mac mini G4 also contains a second cable that connects to the optical drive. A was included as standard, while a able to write to was also an option.

Is supported with and 56k V.92 modem, while and were additional build-to-order options. External displays are supported via a port. Adaptors are also available for,.
The system contains a built-in speaker and an analog 1/8-inch stereo mini jack.In the last revision of the Mac mini G4, the internal was upgraded to accommodate the AirPort Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technology onto one chip. In prior models, the Mac mini included an AirPort Extreme card taped to the mezzanine board and a separate Bluetooth module. Inside of an Intel Mac mini circa 2007The 2006 and 2007 models came with 32-bit Intel Core Solo processors that could be replaced with 64-bit Core 2 Duo processors through a simple upgrade. Since the 2006 and 2007 'Merom'-based Mac mini models came with socketed processors, the 32-bit processor can easily be removed, and replaced with a compatible 64-bit Intel Core 2 Duo processor.

The following processors are compatible: 2.00 GHz Intel T7200 SL9SF, 2.16 GHz Intel T7400 SL9SE, 2.33 GHz Intel T7600 SL9SD. 2009 and later models have the processors soldered onto the logic board and thus are not upgradable. Once the 2006 model is upgraded to a Core 2 Duo processor, it can support up to 2 GB of memory, and can run through a minor modification by editing or deleting the platformsupport.plist file. Many users have found that such upgrades can make the 2006/2007 models perform even better than the 2009 models.
Geekbench scores have shown that the 2.33 GHz Core 2 Duo fitted Mac mini with 2 GB of RAM has a score of 3060 whereas a late 2009 Mac mini with 2 GB of RAM has 3056 making the two machines fairly comparable.While the Mac mini G4 contained a separate graphics processor, all revisions of the Intel-based Mac mini contain integrated GPUs, except in the 2011 version where the 2.5 GHz model contains a separate AMD Radeon GPU. In Apple's early marketing of the Mac mini G4, it touted the superiority of the use of a discrete ATI Radeon 9200 32 MB graphics card over the integrated graphics included in many budget PCs.
The that was built into the Mac mini was criticized for producing stuttering video, despite supporting hardware accelerated video playback, and disappointing frame rates in graphics-intensive 3D games.

Second row: DC in, 5 ports Memory Unlike the Mac mini G4, the Intel-based Mac mini uses a for memory. The original Intel-based Mac mini uses 667 MHz, while models starting with the early 2009 revision use 1066 MHz.Storage The Intel-based Mac mini moves away from the formerly used /100 to the newer interface, which offers a maximum 3 Gbit/s transfer rate, however all models of Intel Mac mini have been limited to 1.5 Gbit/s even though the SATA standard supports a transfer of 3 Gbit/s. All models continue to use 2.5-inch 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 of storage. A was initially offered as standard, with the being an option, but through the 2010 models, all models that have an optical drive contain the SuperDrive as standard. The 2010 standard version of the Mac (without Server) comes with a 300 GB or on 2.66 GHz 500 GB of storage.Connectivity The Intel-based Mac mini includes four ports and one port. The ports were changed with the early 2009 revision, with a fifth port added and the FireWire 400 port replaced with a FireWire 800 port.2.0+EDR and became standard after being optional in the G4 version, and the Ethernet port was upgraded to, while a built-in 56k modem is no longer available.
The 2009 models added and later 802.11n Wi-Fi, and was also upgraded from 2.0 to 2.1.External displays are supported through a port. The 2009 models change the video outputs to and, which allowed for dual displays. The Mini DisplayPort supports external displays with a resolution up to 2560×1600, which allows use of the 30-inch Cinema Display. Mac mini 2010 front view of optical driveOn June 15, 2010, Apple introduced the third generation Mac mini with a thinner aluminum case.
It also included an internal and an slot. An port, which Apple describes as being HDMI 1.4 compliant, replaces the port as one of the main video connection methods.An update announced on July 20, 2011 added a port, dual-core Intel and quad-core processors, support for up to 16 GB of memory, 4.0, and either Intel integrated graphics or AMD dedicated graphics. This revision also removed the internal CD/DVD optical drive from all versions. The server model was upgraded to a quad-core processor.Apple updated the line on October 23, 2012 with processors, and upgraded graphics. On October 16, 2014 the line was updated with processors, improved graphics, Wi-Fi, and 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. Video output via HDMI was added.
Structure There is a removable panel on the bottom of the chassis enabling the user to upgrade the. While opening the case does not actually void the warranty, anything broken while the case is open is not covered.The 2011 revision removes the, as well as the optical drive, leaving internal space for a second internal hard drive or SSD, which can be ordered from Apple, or as an upgrade kit from third party suppliers.Performance Mac mini models released in late 2014 used dual-core processors, which perform worse in multi-threaded workloads compared to the quad-core processors from the 2012 model.
Meanwhile, single-threaded workload performance increased. Comparing the high ends of both releases, the 2012 model used a 4-core, 8-thread Intel Core, whereas the 2014 model used a 2-core, 4-thread Intel Core.The 2014 model featured Intel Iris graphics (GT3), which greatly outperforms the Intel HD Graphics 4000 (GT2) in the previous models. The late 2014 CPUs were also more energy-efficient: their maximal thermal design power (TDP) was 62% lower than that of the 2012 models. Reception In general, the Mac mini has been praised as a relatively affordable computer with a solid range of features. Reviews noted it is possible to purchase small computers at the same price with faster processors, better graphics card, more memory, and more storage.
The small size has made the Mac mini particularly popular as a home theater solution. In addition, its size and reliability has helped keep resale values high. Back panel of a 2018 Mac mini.

Second row: ventilation holes, audio outOn October 30, 2018, Apple announced a fourth generation Mac mini with Intel processors, the series chip used to manage the security of the device, four ports that support, two USB 3.0 Type-A ports, and HDMI 2.0. PCIe-based flash storage is standard with no option of a. The storage was changed to a baseline 128 GB, with a maximum of 2 TB.
The was increased to a baseline of 8 GB, and a maximum of 64 GB of.The chassis is mostly a carryover from the previous generation, measuring the same dimensions, though is only available in a darker 'space gray' finish. This generation removes the SD card reader, SATA drive bay, IR receiver, optical S/PDIF (TOSLINK) audio out, and audio in. Added support for,. Hardware replaceability Memory can again be replaced, unlike the 2014 models that soldered it to the logic board. The processor and flash storage are soldered to the logic board and cannot be replaced.

Because of the similar, HDMI port, remote control IR receiver, and media browser interface, some users see it as an alternative. It has a native user interface with Front Row, based on the user interface of the original Apple TV. It does not include an integrated and cannot be upgraded to install one internally; accessing TV requires external devices like 's EyeTV USB adapter or SiliconDust's networked TV tuner which will encode and manage broadcast television from a cable or satellite receiver.Pre-2009 models had a video connector which was compatible with, (video only), and with the appropriate adapter. Sound is provided by a combination jack that uses both mini- (analog) and cables (digital).
Unlike the, the Mac mini is with televisions that have only composite or S-Video inputs. As of the July 2011 revision it includes Intel HD3000 graphics processor with an optional Radeon available and which makes decoding high-resolution video much faster.The addition of an HDMI port on the 2010 Mac mini simplifies connecting to high-definition televisions and home theater. The HDMI port supported up to and 8 channel 24-bit audio at 192 kHz, Dolby Surround 5.1 and stereo output. The 2014 model added output, and the 2018 model will support, and with Mac mini Server Apple has offered a Server configuration of the Mac mini. The first Server model came preloaded with an version of OS X, but later models instead came preloaded with the standard version of, as well as a separate OS X Server package, which included separate component apps (including 'Server App', 'File Sharing', 'Wiki Server', 'Profile Manager', etc.). Later on, Apple released the OS X Server packaged app as a single purchase from the, containing all the separate components apps, so that any model of Mac computer could download and use them. The Mid-2010 Server model was initially the only Mac mini to entirely remove the optical drive, replacing it with a second hard drive in its place.

However, from the Mid-2011 models onwards, all models of Mac mini had the optical drive removed.Greenhouse gas emission projections for the Mac mini Server were several times those of the regular Mac mini, in part because of the extra hard disk, but also due to increased expected lifetime energy use; the percentage of CO2 from usage rose from 39% to 77%.The Mac mini Server hardware was discontinued with the Late 2014 model. However, the macOS Server software package can be purchased from the Mac App Store. In 2018, coinciding with macOS Mojave, Apple shipped macOS Server version 5.71, which stopped bundling open source services, including DHCP, DNS, Email, Firewall, FTP, Radius, VPN, Web, and Wiki. Apple states that customers are able to receive support for these services directly from open-source providers. Other Apple-proprietary services, such as Airport, Calendar, Contacts, Messages, and Netboot were also removed, with no corresponding open source options.Alternatives for Mac users include running Linux or Windows virtualized, or installing third-party Unix packages via open source package managers such as Conda, Fink, Homebrew, MacPorts, Nix, pkgsrc, and RudixA few services - Caching, Files, Time Machine, and Web - moved to the macOS Mojave client, but can have limited configuration capability via Mojave's Sharing control panel. The Apache server GUI manager is replaced by apachectl commands in Terminal. The only services remaining in macOS Server 5.7.1 are Open Directory, Profile Manager, and Xsan.
