Thunderbolt I/O Connectivity B.Y.O.D.K.M.


Up to 2x faster processors.
Done and done.
With third‐generation Intel Core processors, Mac mini keeps
up with computers twice its size. You can choose a 2.5GHz
dual‐core Intel Core i5. Or go for an even more powerful
2.6GHz quad‐core Intel Core i7 for up to two times the
performance of the previous‐generation dual‐core Mac
mini.1
When you’re using processor‐intensive applications, Turbo
Boost 2.0 increases the clock speed up to 3.6GHz. Hyper‐
Threading lets each core run two threads, so OS X multitasks
even more efficiently. And an integrated memory controller
connects fast 1600MHz memory directly to the processor, so
it gets right to work on your data. In short, Mac mini is a
little box of vroom.


Intel HD Graphics 4000.
It’ll really get things moving.
Intel HD Graphics 4000 delivers up to 65 percent more
pixel‐pushing performance than the previous generation of
integrated graphics.2 So the video you watch and the
games you play are smoother and more responsive.
Flipping through photo albums is a breeze. And you’ve got
all the power you need to edit your HD video into a film
worthy of a red carpet premiere.


Done and done.
Up to 1TB hard drive.
Mac mini comes standard with either a 500GB or 1TB 5400‐
rpm hard drive. So you can pack in your photo libraries,
movies, music, files, and more, more, more.

Up to 256GB of flash storage.
You can configure your Mac mini with up to 256GB of flash
storage in a solid‐state drive instead of a traditional hard
drive. Flash storage delivers nearly five times the
performance of a disk drive — speed you’ll notice when you
boot your Mac mini, launch an app, or browse your photo
library.


Done and done.
Introducing Fusion Drive.
Mac mini also offers a breakthrough
storage option, called Fusion Drive,
which combines a 1TB hard drive with
high‐performance flash storage —
128GB worth. Fusion Drive
automatically and intelligently manages your data so that
frequently used apps, documents, photos, and other files
stay on the faster flash storage, while infrequently used
items move to the hard drive. You’ll enjoy shorter boot
times, and as the system learns how you work, you’ll see
faster application launches and quicker file access. Best of all,
you don’t have to do a thing to make it happen.

Add memory with a twist.
Mac mini comes with 4GB of fast 1600MHz DDR3 memory.
And thanks to a removable bottom panel, it’s easy to add
more. Just give it a twist, and you’re in. Pop your new
memory into the SO‐DIMM slot, and you’re out. Or you can
configure your Mac mini with up to 16GB of memory from
the start at the Apple Online Store.


Thunderbolt. The fastest, most versatile I/O
in any desktop. Of any size.
Thunderbolt technology in Mac mini is phenomenally fast. It features two 10‐Gbps channels for data transfer.
That’s up to 12 times faster than FireWire 800 and up to 20 times faster than USB 2. But beyond speed,
Thunderbolt gives you unprecedented expansion capabilities. You can daisy‐chain as many as six Thunderbolt
devices — including two Apple Thunderbolt Displays — to a single port. And since Thunderbolt is based on
DisplayPort technology, Mini DisplayPort devices like the Apple LED Cinema Display plug right in, too.


USB3, WiFi and Bluetooth. You’re very well connected.
Plenty of ports make it USB3. Wi‐Fi and Bluetooth.

array of storage, audio, and

No screen is too big.
It’s easy to connect Mac mini to the biggest screen in
the house — your HDTV — courtesy of a built‐in
HDMI port. All it takes is one HDMI cable to start
enjoying movies and TV shows from iTunes, surfing the
web, and flipping through your photo library, all in
brilliant HD. There’s also a handy control that lets you
adjust the output on Mac mini to fill even the biggest
HDTV screen. And when you just want to listen to
music, you can play your entire iTunes collection
through your home entertainment center, or stream it
to a set of speakers in any room via an AirPort Express
Base Station.

Use what you’ve got.
Plug your own display, keyboard, and mouse
into Mac mini. Turn it on. And just like that,
everything works together. That’s one of the
great things about Mac mini. You can mix

Sleek aluminum design. Easy access to memory. A built‐in power supply.
Mac mini makes the most of every square inch.


Forged ahead. Way ahead.
Mac mini features a 1.4‐inch‐thin seamless unibody enclosure carved from a single, solid block of aluminum. It’s
created using computer numerical control, or CNC, machines — the same kind used by the aerospace industry to
build mission‐critical spacecraft components. This ensures absolute precision of every component of the Mac
mini enclosure. Not to mention a stunning aluminum fit and finish that will make any desk proud.

Removable panel on Removable panel off


No detail is too mini.
The power supply is built right into Mac mini. So there’s no bulky brick, and
there are fewer cables to connect. A removable panel on the bottom makes
upgrading the memory completely painless. And once you’re inside, you’ll see
how clean and organized Mac mini is. With attention paid to the tiniest details.
Like the air intake vent. It’s practically invisible. And when the fan is running,
you’ll barely hear it. Mac mini is full of big ideas. Goodbye, power brick.
The Mac mini power supply
is built in. All you see is a
single power cord.


Many ports. Major possibilities.
Built‐in Thunderbolt technology lets you daisy‐chain up to
six Thunderbolt peripherals, including the Apple
Thunderbolt Display, to a single port. It also supports Mini
DisplayPort peripherals you might already have, like
the Apple LED Cinema Display. The HDMI port lets you
connect Mac mini to your HDTV with a single cable. And a built‐
in SDXC card slot makes speedy work of transferring photos and
videos from your digital cameras.

Exactly what you need. And nothing you don’t.
The iTunes Store and the Mac App Store have made it so easy to download
music, movies, and apps that you probably won’t need an optical disc drive.
So we designed Mac mini without one and used that extra space to squeeze in
more powerful processors, advanced graphics, and Thunderbolt technology.


Built on a rock‐solid UNIX foundation, OS X is engineered to take full advantage of the technologies
in every new Mac. And to deliver the most intuitive and integrated computer experience.


Hardware and software made for each other.
Since the software built into every Mac is created by the same company that makes the Mac, you get a
fully integrated system in which everything works together perfectly. OS X works with the processor in
your Mac to deliver the best possible performance. It works with the Multi‐Touch trackpad in Mac
notebooks so they feel natural to use. Power Nap takes advantage of the Mac hardware to keep the
entire system up to date while it sleeps.1 And OS X gives you long battery life by working with the
computer’s built‐in sensors to dim the screen in low‐light conditions and even regulating processor
activity between keystrokes.


Multi‐Touch, Mac style.
Use your fingers to tap, scroll, pinch, and swipe your way around the Mac. Because Apple makes both the
hardware and software, Multi‐Touch gestures are remarkably precise. This precision makes Multi‐Touch the
most natural and intuitive way to use a computer. When you scroll down on your trackpad or Magic Mouse, your
document scrolls down. When you scroll up, your web page scrolls up. When you swipe left, your photos move
left. These and many more gestures make all you do on your Mac easier, intuitive, and fun.


It’s remarkably simple.
From the desktop you see when you start up your Mac to the applications you use every day, everything is
designed to be easy and intuitive. And it all makes perfect sense, especially if you have an iPad, iPhone, or iPod
touch. The desktop is clean and simple. It takes one click to open an app and a few more to buy, download, and
install new apps from the Mac App Store. On a Mac, it’s easy to find, share, and do just about everything. And a
Mac does so many things automatically, sometimes you don’t have to do anything at all.


It’s incredibly powerful.
Making powerful things simple requires some seriously advanced technologies. OS X is loaded with them. It’s
built on a rock‐solid, time‐tested UNIX foundation that provides unparalleled stability and industry‐leading
support for Internet standards. And the incredible graphics performance in OS X allows applications like Aperture
and Final Cut Pro to give you unprecedented photo and video editing capabilities. OS X is engineered to take
advantage of the latest technologies in every Mac.


It’s easy to get around.
On the Mac, everything is right at your fingertips, right where you need it. The Dock is a handy place for all your
favorite apps. From the Dock, you can launch apps quickly and switch between them easily. If an app isn’t on the
Dock, you’ll find it in Launchpad. Go there to see all the apps on your Mac full screen and organize them however
you like. And Mission Control gives you a bird’s‐eye view of all your open windows, so you can keep track of
everything you’re working on. OS X offers systemwide support for gorgeous, full‐screen apps that use every inch
of your Mac display. You can have multiple full‐screen apps open at once — along with multiple apps in windows.
And it’s easy to switch between full‐screen and desktop views.

Find, organize, and share files fast.
The Finder helps you find, organize, and access practically everything on your Mac. And features like
Spotlight and Quick Look make locating the file you’re looking for effortless — even if you don’t know what it’s
called. Say you’re searching for a document, and the only thing you recall about it is the phrase “surrealist
painters.” Open Spotlight, start typing “surrealist painters,” and your Mac generates a list of files that contain
those words. And with Quick Look, you don’t need to open an application to know you’ve found the right file —
just hit the space bar and you’ll see a full‐size preview. Want to share a file with someone nearby? Just drag and
drop to send it wirelessly with AirDrop.

iCloud. It’s how Mac, iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch work even better together.
Sign in once with your Apple ID on your new Mac, and iCloud is automatically set up in all the apps that use it. So
if you have iCloud set up on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch, whatever you do on your Mac happens on those
devices, too. And it works the other way around. Update something on another device, and the same update will
be made on your Mac. So your mail, contacts, calendars, messages, documents, data, and more go wherever you
go. From your Mac to your iPhone to your iPad and back to your Mac.

Keep track of your busy schedule and share it with others using Calendar. Create separate calendars —
one for home, another for school, a third for work, and so on. See all your calendars in a single window or
choose to see only the calendars you want. Calendar lets you create invitations using information from
Contacts, update your guest list, keep track of responses, and receive the latest status information. When
you or another Mac user receives a Calendar invitation via Mail, it’s automatically added. Calendar also
works with iCloud, Yahoo!, and Google. And when you use iCloud, every Calendar edit you make on your
Mac automatically appears on your iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. So no dinner dates are missed, no
meeting goes unattended, and no anniversary is forgotten.

See all your calendars in a single window. Or choose to see only the calendars you want.


Contacts is a flexible and convenient place to store information for everyone you know. It’s easy to import
names, numbers, addresses, and photos from other applications. And it’s designed for Facebook, too.
Contacts automatically includes your friends’ profile photos and information. And when friends update their
information, Contacts updates your Mac. You can create smart groups for clubs, activities, and business
purposes; print address labels and envelopes; and more. iCloud updates your contacts on your iPad, iPhone,
iPod touch, and Mac — so when you enter someone’s contact info once, you have it everywhere. And since
Contacts is built on vCard, an industry standard for storing contact information, your friends can send you
cards that you can add simply by dropping them into your contacts list — no typing required.

When you add, delete, or edit a contact, iCloud updates your iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, and Mac.


Reminders helps you get all your to‐dos done — on the Mac and on your iOS devices. Make as many to‐do lists
as you need and easily add to them. Set due dates and you’ll get alerts as deadlines approach. Check items off
your lists as you go and keep track of what you’ve completed. And to be sure you don’t forget anything, iCloud
keeps your reminders up to date on your Mac, iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch.
