Apple Mac Mini (2018) Specifications, Launch Date and Price in India

As we had anticipated, Apple also launched its tiny Mac Mini computer alongside the new iPad Pro models and the refreshed MacBook Air at its hardware event in Brooklyn. Apple has refreshed this tiny machine after a good four years, and it’s a great big upgrade too.

So, without further ado, here’s a quick look at the specs sheet, pricing, and availability details of the new Mac Mini:

Specifications

The new Mac Mini now comes in a Space Gray finish on the outside – with a similar design to its predecessor. It’s still the same flattened cube with rounded corners, an LED on the front, and a myriad of ports on the rear.

The Mac Mini now boasts of the latest internals, starting with quad-core 8th-gen Intel Core processors and going up to hexa-core processors from the same family. It is the first time Apple has offered the latter on the Mac Mini.

The 8th-gen processors are coupled with up to 64GB of 2666MHz DDR4 RAM and 2TB of SSD storage. There’s no hard drive or Fusion storage options this time around as Apple decided to go with all-flash storage.

Packing this much power into the same enclosure required an all-new thermal architecture — including all-flash storage, a bigger fan, expanded vents, and a redesigned power supply, says Apple.

Apple has also packed inside the Mac Mini its second-gen T2 security chip that includes a Secure Enclave co-processor and useful for secure boot and encrypted storage capabilities. There’s also a plethora of I/O ports including 4 Thunderbolt 3 USB-C ports, one HDMI 2.0, two USB-A ports, Ethernet, and the 3.5 mm headphone jack.

To sum everything up, you can check out the key specs of the Mac Mini in the table attached below:

Dimensions	19.7 x 19.7 x 3.6 cm
Weight	1.3 kgs
Processor	up to 6-core Intel Core i7 processor, clocked at 3.0 GHz
Graphics Memory	Intel UHD Graphics 630
RAM	up to 64GB
Internal Storage	up to 2TB
I/O ports	4 Thunderbolt 3 USB-C ports, one HDMI 2.0, two USB-A ports, Ethernet, and 3.5mm headphone jack
Connectivity	802.11a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 5.0, Gigabit Ethernet

Pricing

As we’ve already learned, the base variant of the Mac Mini (8GB RAM + 128GB SSD) has been priced at Rs. 75,900 but you’ll have to pay a lot more as you upgrade the internals. Apple hasn’t talked about the availability details for India, so make sure to return back to Beebom.com for more updates.

Twitter Wants to Build an ‘Open and Decentralized’ Social Media Platform

In an attempt to create a Facebook competitor, which everyone flocks to, Twitter became increasingly centralized over the years. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey believes that’s the case and has now tweeted a lengthy plan to fund research to build an open and decentralized standard for social media platforms. It will “ultimately become a standard” that Twitter’s client will be based upon. Dubbed Bluesky, this project will see a team of up to five researchers , which could include open-source architects, engineers, and designers, being on-boarded in the near future. Currently, Bluesky has no team members but Dorsey tweeted that Twitter’s CTO Parag Agrawal has been tasked with finding a lead. The folks over at Firefox have already extended a helping hand, saying how the non-profit has contributed to decentralization. Enough jibber-jabber, but what exactly is Bluesky? And what does it intend to achieve? Dorsey, in his tweetstorm , states that the challenges being faced by centralized social

Mysterious Drones Spotted in Colorado and Nebraska; Sources Unknown

A group of drones was reportedly been spotted in the sky at night last week in Colorado and Nebraska that made the residents anxious and worried. The police officials in charge have no idea regarding where these drones are from. “They’ve been doing a grid search, a grid pattern. They fly one square and then they fly another square,” Colorado’s Phillips County Sheriff Thomas Elliot told the Denver Post. The drones have an approximate six-foot wingspan and stay 200 to 300 feet away from buildings. At least 17 drones have been spotted till now. They appear at around 7 PM at night and disappear at around 10 PM . Until now, the drones have not been caught doing any illegal or unofficial activities. “They do not seem to be malicious. They don’t seem to be doing anything that would indicate criminal activity,” Sheriff Elliott added. The Federal Aviation Agency, the Air Force, Drug Enforcement Administration, and US Army Forces Command confirmed that the drones did not belong to them.
