Intel Core i7 Mini Macs work as a quad-core processor, which works a little harder than the typical Core i5 dual-core models.

You can use it to surf the web, stream movies, e-mail and word processing.

Apple Mac Minis with the Core i5 and Intel Core i7 are great for the very basics of computer usage.

You can use an Apple Bluetooth keyboard and Mouse to maneuver your cursor and type.

Apple Mac Minis can be hooked up to most screens, including HDTVs.

There are many features of the Mac Mini but you should be aware of what they are before you make any decisions. They're compatible with most Macintosh extras, such as the Thunderbolt digital output and USB slots.Mac Minis are also used for extra hard-drives and can be used to backup your Apple iMac or Apple Mac mini notebooks with the Time Machine feature.

Mac Minis are a happy middle ground for people who want Macs but don't want to go for the full iMac desktop set-up.

Apple Macs are known for their high-end capabilities and features but they're often very pricey.

There are few different reasons people get Apple Mac Mini Desktops. If you're looking for an Apple desktop, check out the Apple Mac Mini. While they're not as powerful as iMac desktops, they do have some pretty impressive specs. Power draw was more impressive, though, with the system idling at just 18W and peaking at 73W.What is an Apple Mac Mini Desktop All in One Computer?Īpple Mac Minis are an alternative to the normal Apple iMac or Apple Notebooks. That's almost at the thermal envelope of this particular part and, while the system never became unstable, it's a cause for concern.

It's easy to see why Apple hasn't chosen more powerful parts than the Core i7 included here - when tested in both OS X and Windows, the quad-core chip peaked at around 100C. That's a poorer result than the last Mac mini, which had an AMD Radeon HD 6630M and scored 69fps in our Low-quality benchmark. Intel's HD 4000 graphics chip scored a mediocre 57fps in our Low-quality Crysis test, and there's now no option to included a discrete GPU. There's enough application power to handle all but the most demanding of business software, but don't expect the Mac mini to handle graphical tasks just as well. That's barely behind the 0.96 scored by the latest iMac, and it's a much more impressive score than the 0.72 result of the Core i5 chip in 2011's machine. The chip is aided by 4GB of DDR3 RAM and scored 0.93 in our benchmarks.

Its base clock of 2.6GHz is reasonable, it's got four physical cores, and its Turbo Boost stats are impressive: all four cores can hit a peak of 3.4GHz, with one core able to go an additional 200MHz faster. That's not to say the Core i7-3720QM used in this particular Mac mini is found wanting in the power department.

There's no sign of desktop chips here, though - this PC is too small, so Apple has had to turn to Intel's mobile parts.

Specification and performanceĪpple's other hardware update also follows in the iMac's footsteps, with Ivy Bridge processors replacing the Sandy Bridge technology employed in older Mac minis. The drive scored 277MB/s and 315MB/s in Xbench's sequential read and write benchmarks - much quicker than even the fastest hard disk, even if it's not able to match the 302MB/s and 364MB/s of the Fusion Drive in the latest iMac. The benefits of the Fusion Drive will only become obvious over time, but we're still able to test the raw speed of the SSD thanks to OS X benchmarking tool Xbench. Those installing Microsoft's OS via Apple's Boot Camp are only able to partition the hard disk. Windows users aren't able to access these benefits, however.

New software is automatically installed to the SSD as long as there's room. Out-of-the-box, the OS and several of Apple's key apps are installed to the SSD, and the system monitors your behaviour over time - if apps aren't used, they're moved to the hard disk. OS X manages interaction between the SSD and hard disk by itself, so there's no way for the user to intervene. That's double the amount of space supported by Intel's system, and it works in a much more advanced way: OS X and key applications are stored on the SSD for increased responsiveness, while rarely-used software is relegated to the hard disk to preserve system performance. The concept is similar to Intel's Smart Responsive Technology, but it goes one step further by strapping a 128GB SSD to a 1TB hard disk. Build quality is beyond reproach too.įusion Drive was introduced in the latest iMac, is the Fusion Drive. It's not ugly or dated: the curved corners, flat top and aluminium construction ensure it's better looking than every small-form-factor business machine.
