Fast and compact Mac!

I bought the i7 with 1TB SSD and 8GB RAM, and upgraded to 64GB using Samsung SoDIMMs. So far so good! I don't do video editing, but am running Docker with a Linux SQL Server container, Visual Studio for Mac, and Azure Data Studio, along with a VNS, Microsoft Remote Terminal, and several desktops with Chrome and Safari browsers on two monitors. It appears about half of the memory is used, including a fairly large disk cache, and the cpu usage is relatively low. I bought one of those Vesa wall mounts and mounted the unit on the underside of my desk, which allows me to keep it and the cords out of sight/mind. I haven't noticed any fan noise at all, and the unit has never gotten very hot (although I don't pay much attention to it under the desk.) I am currently running with Dell U2515h and U2415b monitors, but will be upgrading to U2718q 4K monitors soon. Fyi I also spent the extra $ for AppleCare+ to extend the warranty to 3 years for better peace of mind since most of the electronics are soldered onto the motherboard and are not replaceable. For the capacity, performance, and physical size ... I am very happy with my purchase :). -- John

Capable production machine

Apple finally stepped back into the mid-range upgradable computer market. For those of us that need upgradable RAM and don't require the portability of a laptop, expense and processing overkill of a Mac Pro, or the 5K monitor of an iMac this mini was welcome news. The only place it falls short is the onboard graphics controller, but with 4 (yes 4!) Thunderbolt 3 ports (plus 2 USB 3, HDI and ethernet) adding an eGPU is a simple upgrade that still keeps you over a thousand dollars cheaper than a comparable iMac. The RAM upgrade is easy enough, if you have steady hands and can follow a simple tutorial. I had mine swapped in under 30 minutes. So now I have a powerhouse for music production and a decently capable video editing machine for a fraction of what our last Mac Pro set us back. Very happy to stay within the Apple framework for a fraction of the cost.

This thing FLIES!!!

On my older Mac, one of the operations that I had to do was taking it three and a half minutes. On this, it takes 14 seconds!

Apple Mac Mini (Late 2018) Specifications

About Apple Mac Mini (Late 2018)

Mac mini
Re-engineered in no small way.

In addition to being a great desktop computer, Mac mini powers everything from home automation to giant render farms. And now with eighth-generation Intel quad-core and 6-core processors and Intel UHD Graphics 630, Mac mini has even more compute power for industrial-grade tasks. So whether you're running a live concert sound engine or testing your latest iOS app, Mac mini is the shortest distance between a great idea and a great result.

Climb in. Geek out.
Mac mini features high-performance 2666MHz DDR4 SO-DIMM memory for faster rendering, working with massive files, or running multiple virtual machines. And now you can configure even more memory to run even heavier workloads.

Haul apps.
Mac mini now includes all-flash PCIe-based storage, with up to four times the read speeds of previous flash options. So you can load giant files and launch apps faster than ever and with the available 2TB SSD, you'll have twice the space for all of them.

Next-generation security.
Mac mini features the Apple T2 Security Chip second-generation custom Mac silicon designed by Apple to make Mac mini even more secure. The T2 Security Chip consolidates several controllers into one, and includes a Secure Enclave coprocessor that provides the foundation for encrypted storage and secure boot capabilities.

I/O, I/O, it's off to work you go.
With a variety of ports, Mac mini is ready for a variety of workflow configurations. Thunderbolt 3 is our most powerful and versatile port ever and Mac mini has four of them. The new HDMI 2.0 port delivers more bandwidth than its predecessor, so you can enjoy faster frame rates. And now Mac mini can be configured with 10Gb Ethernet so it's ready to move mountainous files and monstrous data up to 10 times faster.

Thunderbolt 3 gives you some seriously productive possibilities. Transfer data at up to 40Gb/s. Charge and power external devices. Connect up to two 4K displays and even a third with HDMI 2.0 or one 5K display. Or pair Mac mini with an eGPU for desktop-class graphics performance.

To the desktop. And beyond.
Because of its size, performance, and wide array of ports, Mac mini goes where no Mac has gone before. And now with even more cores packed into its 7.7-inch-square frame, you never know where you'll find a Mac mini or dozens of them hard at work.
