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.

iPhone 12 to Have 5nm Processor, Qualcomm’s X55 5G Modem: Report

Apple is all set to launch its first 5G iPhones next year, and a new report out of Japan now claims that they will ship with Qualcomm’s X55 5G modem under-the-hood. According to multiple sources quoted by the Nikkei Asian Review , at least three of the devices the company will launch next year, will ship with 5G connectivity. “It will be the first time Apple introduces 5G iPhones … There will be three of them and the company has set an aggressive sales target” , said one of them. As per the report, the next-gen iPhone lineup will be powered by the A14 chip that will use the 5nm technology, making it significantly more power efficient than its predecessor, the A13 Bionic, found on the current-gen iPhone 11 lineup. At least two of the three new phones will also have what the report called ‘flexible’ OLED displays, although it’s not immediately clear what it meant by that term. In addition, Apple is also developing a new ‘3D-sensing rear-camera’ that is said to be able to “sense t...
