The M1 chip is the present and the future of Apple devices. You're going to see it used a whole lot more as time goes on, but right now you can find it in just the latest generation of Apple devices. It's a giant leap forward in performance and it combines the CPU, GPU, and a Neural Engine designed for advanced machine learning. The CPU has eight cores and delivers 2.8x faster performance, and the 8-core GPU also steps up the graphics performance for intensive apps and games. The 16-core neural engine advances machine learning in a way that greatly improves performance.

If you've been using anything else, even an older generation of the Mac Mini, speed is going to be the one thing you notice with this new device.

You'll also get enhanced speed through the Wi-Fi 6, which gives you super fast internet connectivity. The Mac Mini includes two Thunderbolt 4 USB ports, one HDMI 2 port, two more USB-A ports, and a Gigabit Ethernet port if you need an even more stable connection. It's also loaded with MacOS Big Sur with a new design and major app updates for Safari, Messages, and Maps.
