About This Mac

The 2018 Mac mini returned after a four-year gap with a space-grey finish and a much more capable Intel platform. Quad-core and six-core processors, all-flash storage and four Thunderbolt 3 ports expanded its usefulness for development, audio and desktop work. Socketed memory allowed service upgrades, although reaching it required dismantling the computer rather than simply removing the base. Compared with the Late 2014 Mac mini, it offered far more processing and connection headroom, but integrated graphics and non-upgradeable internal storage still shaped its limits.
