interesting 6.1-inch iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro will go on sale first Now officially: announcement of iPhone 12 will take place in a week
This is why Apple equipped the Mac mini with two advanced processors: the intel Core i5 and i7. Already the first tests gave extremely positive ratings. For example, 15 to 20 tabs were turned on, music played and video started, but no 'brakes' or freezes were detected. And the time of copying to external media is less than 5 seconds even for 5 GB.
The increase in performance brought about a solution to cooling problems. The compact case dictates its own rules for equipping, in order to fit the fan, we had to change the design of the power source, change special holes. As a result, the element received a 70% increase in power and a 2-fold increase in air flow.
Intel Turbo Boost has been around in computers for a long time and has already justified its creation. The technology increases the performance of various types of applications, that is, data processing in the processor is much faster. Turbo Boost is enabled by default and works automatically. The technology is also used when there is a lack of RAM. In fact, Turbo Boost boosts processor performance up to 4.1 GHz.
RAM
High performance 2666MHz DDR4 memory up to 64GB. In the previous version, this figure did not exceed 16 GB. Simultaneously with the increase in RAM, the memory speed has also increased, now it is 266 Hz.
HDD
The internal memory of the base model was 128 GB, the older one – 256 GB, expandable up to 2 TB. We recommend that you use the CleanMyMac utility to clean up your hard drive, which will erase unnecessary information, and provides detailed information on the status of your computer's memory, battery, and other options.
Capacity
2TB SSD storage with twice the speed of previous models. Now all information is stored on one device. Users have the opportunity to independently supplement the internal memory. It is planned that people will buy a basic Mac mini device and upgrade it themselves.
Another plus: such an intervention will not entail a waiver of warranty intervention. True, maintenance technicians recommend saving the standard folders of RAM, otherwise problems arise in the service.
Reading speed
The new Mac mini is equipped only with SSD drives with a maximum capacity of 2TB, which is 3-4 times faster and supports 3.4GB sequential read technology.
New Apple T2 chip for data security
Special attention is paid to the protection of information in devices from Apple. 2018 desktop systems received the Apple T2 Security Chip, an advanced data retention chip. A number of functions are assigned to this microcircuit:
key protection;
fingerprint verification;
secure boot function.
The Apple T2 chip is enabled at the hardware level, so no third-party malware can influence it. The new chip will protect Mac mini from viruses, Trojans and hacker attacks. The latest threat is no longer a myth or an invention of especially suspicious bloggers. Hundreds of pirated connections to computers, webcams or passwords are recorded every day. The new Mac mini Apple provides an unprecedented security system that cannot be bypassed.
GPU
Modern digital devices are hard to imagine without an advanced device for processing and reproducing computer graphics. The new Mac Mini received an improved graphics processor that increased the performance of the laptop by 60%.
Price, release date in Russia
The new Mac mini is a small but powerful monster. Device advantages:
Classic and familiar design, enhanced by the new 'Space Silver' color.
The ability to update or upgrade the RAM, depending on the tasks.
Four 3rd generation hardware interface ports Thunderbolt.
Connects to 4-K displays with cinematic resolution.
The productivity has increased 5 times.
Of the obvious disadvantages, we can only name the restriction on the upgrade of the internal memory, as well as the already familiar high price. And although there are plenty of devices on the market with similar or even superior parameters, the Mac mini takes on its compactness and undeniable power.
Two variants of Mac mini will be available in Russia: with a quad-core Intel Core i3 (RAM – 8 GB and internal memory – 128 GB) and a six-core processor Intel Core i5 with 256 GB of memory. The updated Mac mini rose in price by an average of $ 300, which, alas, alienated the lion's share of buyers. In the basic configuration, the Mac mini costs 68 thousand rubles, with the internal memory increased to 110 thousand rubles.
