Up to 2x faster processors.Done and done.With third‐generation Intel Core processors, Mac mini keeps up with computers twice its size. You can choose a 2.5GHz dual‐core Intel Core i5. Or go for an even more powerful 2.6GHz quad‐core Intel Core i7 for up to two times the performance of the previous‐generation dual‐core Mac mini.1When you’re using processor‐intensive applications, Turbo Boost 2.0 increases the clock speed up to 3.6GHz. Hyper‐Threading lets each core run two threads, so OS X multitasks even more efficiently. And an integrated memory controller connects fast 1600MHz memory directly to the processor, so it gets right to work on your data. In short, Mac mini is a little box of vroom.


Intel HD Graphics 4000.It’ll really get things moving.Intel HD Graphics 4000 delivers up to 65 percent more pixel‐pushing performance than the previous generation of integrated graphics.2 So the video you watch and the games you play are smoother and more responsive. Flipping through photo albums is a breeze. And you’ve got all the power you need to edit your HD video into a film worthy of a red carpet premiere.


Up to 2x faster processors.Done and done.Up to 1TB hard drive.Mac mini comes standard with either a 500GB or 1TB 5400‐rpm hard drive. So you can pack in your photo libraries, movies, music, files, and more, more, more.

Up to 256GB of flash storage.You can configure your Mac mini with up to 256GB of flash storage in a solid‐state drive instead of a traditional hard drive. Flash storage delivers nearly five times the performance of a disk drive — speed you’ll notice when you boot your Mac mini, launch an app, or browse your photo library.


Up to 2x faster processors.Done and done.Introducing Fusion Drive.Mac mini also offers a breakthrough storage option, called Fusion Drive, which combines a 1TB hard drive with high‐performance flash storage —128GB worth. Fusion Drive automatically and intelligently manages your data so that frequently used apps, documents, photos, and other files stay on the faster flash storage, while infrequently used items move to the hard drive. You’ll enjoy shorter boot times, and as the system learns how you work, you’ll see faster application launches and quicker file access. Best of all, you don’t have to do a thing to make it happen.

Add memory with a twist.Mac mini comes with 4GB of fast 1600MHz DDR3 memory. And thanks to a removable bottom panel, it’s easy to add more. Just give it a twist, and you’re in. Pop your new memory into the SO‐DIMM slot, and you’re out. Or you can configure your Mac mini with up to 16GB of memory from the start at the Apple Online Store.


Thunderbolt. The fastest, most versatile I/O in any desktop. Of any size.Thunderbolt technology in Mac mini is phenomenally fast. It features two 10‐Gbps channels for data transfer. That’s up to 12 times faster than FireWire 800 and up to 20 times faster than USB 2. But beyond speed, Thunderbolt gives you unprecedented expansion capabilities. You can daisy‐chain as many as six Thunderbolt devices — including two Apple Thunderbolt Displays — to a single port. And since Thunderbolt is based on DisplayPort technology, Mini DisplayPort devices like the Apple LED Cinema Display plug right in, too.


USB3, WiFi and Bluetooth. You’re very well connected.

Plenty of ports make it ready for anything.

As powerful as Thunderbolt is, it’s just one of your options. If you have a third‐party display, for instance, you can use the HDMI port and the HDMI to DVI Adapter that comes with Mac mini to connect it. You can even connect two displays to see more of your photos, movies, and documents at the same time. A built‐in SDXC card slot makes it easy to import those photos and videos from your digital camera, and the FireWire 800 port works with a wide array of storage, audio, and video devices.

USB3.

With USB 3 built into Mac mini, you can connect your external hard drive and transfer large files in seconds instead of minutes. Every Mac mini comes with four USB 3 ports —with speeds up to 10 times faster than USB 2 — and you can connect all your USB‐compatible devices, including your iPhone, iPad, iPod, or digital camera.

Wi‐Fi and Bluetooth.

The latest 802.11n wireless technology is built into every Mac mini. It automatically locates your Wi‐Fi network, so you can connect and start surfing the web, printing, and streaming your music wirelessly. Bluetooth wireless technology is also built in, so you can connect accessories such as a wireless keyboard and mouse.


No screen is too big.

It’s easy to connect Mac mini to the biggest screen in the house — your HDTV — courtesy of a built‐in HDMI port. All it takes is one HDMI cable to start enjoying movies and TV shows from iTunes, surfing the web, and flipping through your photo library, all in brilliant HD. There’s also a handy control that lets you adjust the output on Mac mini to fill even the biggest HDTV screen. And when you just want to listen to music, you can play your entire iTunes collection through your home entertainment center, or stream it to a set of speakers in any room via an AirPort Express Base Station.


Bring your own display, keyboard, and mouse.Use what you’ve got.Plug your own display, keyboard, and mouse into Mac mini. Turn it on. And just like that, everything works together. That’s one of the great things about Mac mini. You can mix and match it with almost anything.

Sleek aluminum design. Easy access to memory. A built‐in power supply.Mac mini makes the most of every square inch.


Forged ahead. Way ahead.

Mac mini features a 1.4‐inch‐thin seamless unibody enclosure carved from a single, solid block of aluminum. It’s created using computer numerical control, or CNC, machines — the same kind used by the aerospace industry to build mission‐critical spacecraft components. This ensures absolute precision of every component of the Mac mini enclosure. Not to mention a stunning aluminum fit and finish that will make any desk proud.

No detail is too mini.

The power supply is built right into Mac mini. So there’s no bulky brick, and there are fewer cables to connect. A removable panel on the bottom makes upgrading the memory completely painless. And once you’re inside, you’ll see how clean and organized Mac mini is. With attention paid to the tiniest details. Like the air intake vent. It’s practically invisible. And when the fan is running, you’ll barely hear it. Mac mini is full of big ideas. Goodbye, power brick.

The Mac mini power supply is built in. All you see is a single power cord.


Many ports. Major possibilities.

Built‐in Thunderbolt technology lets you daisy‐chain up to six Thunderbolt peripherals, including the Apple Thunderbolt Display, to a single port. It also supports Mini DisplayPort peripherals you might already have, like the Apple LED Cinema Display. The HDMI port lets you connect Mac mini to your HDTV with a single cable. And a built‐in SDXC card slot makes speedy work of transferring photos and videos from your digital cameras.

Exactly what you need. And nothing you don’t.

The iTunes Store and the Mac App Store have made it so easy to download music, movies, and apps that you probably won’t need an optical disc drive. So we designed Mac mini without one and used that extra space to squeeze in more powerful processors, advanced graphics, and Thunderbolt technology.


Built on a rock‐solid UNIX foundation, OS X is engineered to take full advantage of the technologies in every new Mac. And to deliver the most intuitive and integrated computer experience.


Hardware and software made for each other.Since the software built into every Mac is created by the same company that makes the Mac, you get a fully integrated system in which everything works together perfectly. OS X works with the processor in your Mac to deliver the best possible performance. It works with the Multi‐Touch trackpad in Mac notebooks so they feel natural to use. Power Nap takes advantage of the Mac hardware to keep the entire system up to date while it sleeps.1 And OS X gives you long battery life by working with the computer’s built‐in sensors to dim the screen in low‐light conditions and even regulating processor activity between keystrokes.


Multi‐Touch, Mac style.Use your fingers to tap, scroll, pinch, and swipe your way around the Mac. Because Apple makes both the hardware and software, Multi‐Touch gestures are remarkably precise. This precision makes Multi‐Touch the most natural and intuitive way to use a computer. When you scroll down on your trackpad or Magic Mouse, your document scrolls down. When you scroll up, your web page scrolls up. When you swipe left, your photos move left. These and many more gestures make all you do on your Mac easier, intuitive, and fun.


It’s remarkably simple.From the desktop you see when you start up your Mac to the applications you use every day, everything is designed to be easy and intuitive. And it all makes perfect sense, especially if you have an iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch. The desktop is clean and simple. It takes one click to open an app and a few more to buy, download, and install new apps from the Mac App Store. On a Mac, it’s easy to find, share, and do just about everything. And a Mac does so many things automatically, sometimes you don’t have to do anything at all.


It’s incredibly powerful.Making powerful things simple requires some seriously advanced technologies. OS X is loaded with them. It’s built on a rock‐solid, time‐tested UNIX foundation that provides unparalleled stability and industry‐leading support for Internet standards. And the incredible graphics performance in OS X allows applications like Aperture and Final Cut Pro to give you unprecedented photo and video editing capabilities. OS X is engineered to take advantage of the latest technologies in every Mac.


It’s easy to get around.On the Mac, everything is right at your fingertips, right where you need it. The Dock is a handy place for all your favorite apps. From the Dock, you can launch apps quickly and switch between them easily. If an app isn’t on the Dock, you’ll find it in Launchpad. Go there to see all the apps on your Mac full screen and organize them however you like. And Mission Control gives you a bird’s‐eye view of all your open windows, so you can keep track of everything you’re working on. OS X offers systemwide support for gorgeous, full‐screen apps that use every inch of your Mac display. You can have multiple full‐screen apps open at once — along with multiple apps in windows. And it’s easy to switch between full‐screen and desktop views.

Find, organize, and share files fast.The Finder helps you find, organize, and access practically everything on your Mac. And features like Spotlight and Quick Look make locating the file you’re looking for effortless — even if you don’t know what it’s called. Say you’re searching for a document, and the only thing you recall about it is the phrase “surrealist painters.” Open Spotlight, start typing “surrealist painters,” and your Mac generates a list of files that contain those words. And with Quick Look, you don’t need to open an application to know you’ve found the right file —just hit the space bar and you’ll see a full‐size preview. Want to share a file with someone nearby? Just drag and drop to send it wirelessly with AirDrop.

iCloud. It’s how Mac, iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch work even better together.Sign in once with your Apple ID on your new Mac, and iCloud is automatically set up in all the apps that use it. So if you have iCloud set up on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch, whatever you do on your Mac happens on those devices, too. And it works the other way around. Update something on another device, and the same update will be made on your Mac. So your mail, contacts, calendars, messages, documents, data, and more go wherever you go. From your Mac to your iPhone to your iPad and back to your Mac.


Safety. Built right in. Windows compatibility.

Safety. Built right in. Built‐in appsyou’ll use every day.

Every Mac is designed with powerful, advanced technologies that work together to constantly scrutinize, encrypt, update —and ultimately keep your Mac safer. For starters, OS X is built on a proven, secure UNIX foundation. It also includes a host of features designed to protect your Mac and the information on it. Gatekeeper makes it safer to download and install apps. FileVault safeguards data using powerful encryption. Find My Mac helps you locate your missing Mac on a map, set a passcode remotely, and more. Customizable privacy settings keep your personal information under your control. And the best way to keep your Mac up to date with the latest security features? Just install software updates with a click.

OS X comes standard with a wide range of assistive technologies that help people with disabilities experience what the Mac has to offer, including many features you won’t find in other operating systems — at any price. For example, built‐in VoiceOver screen‐reading technology, available in over 20 languages, makes it possible for those who are blind or have low vision to control their computers using key commands or gestures on a Multi‐Touch trackpad. OS X also offers out‐of‐the‐box support for more than 40 braille displays (including Bluetooth displays) and many other accessibility features, such as dynamic full‐screen magnification, playback of closed captions, and a scalable screen.

The versatility and power of OS X help a Mac fit in just about anywhere — including Windows networks. Want to transfer your files, photos, and other data from a Windows PC? OS X lets you do that easily. If you want to run Windows on your Mac, you can do that, too.3 OS X has built‐in support for the latest version of Microsoft Exchange Server, so you can use your Mac at home and at work and keep all your messages, meetings, and contacts in one place. OS X works with virtually all of today’s digital cameras, printers, and other peripherals without the need to manually download separate drivers. And it opens popular file types such as JPG, MP3, and PDF, as well as Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents.

OS X comes in a single version that includes a collection of Apple‐designed applications. Not only do they let you surf the web, make FaceTime video calls, send messages, manage your contacts, and accomplish other day‐to‐day tasks, they also work together to make you more productive — and let you have more fun.


It comes with apps for sending email, managing your schedule, making video calls, and backing up your Mac automatically. It even comes with an app for shopping for new apps. With OS X

Mountain Lion, your Mac is more than full‐featured, it’s fully loaded.

Messages EverywhereOverview

Messages on the Mac replaces iChat. It does everything iChat does, and so much more. For starters, it comes with iMessage. So you can send unlimited messages to anyone on a Mac — and on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch running iOS 5 or later, too. You can even start a conversation on your Mac and pick it up on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Send photos, videos, documents, and contacts. And send messages to a group. You can see when your message has been delivered and when someone’s typing a reply. Turn on read receipts, and friends can see when you’ve read their messages. With end‐to‐end encryption, your messages stay safe and private.

Send unlimited iMessages to anyone on a Mac or an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch running iOS 5 or later.

Keep track of your busy schedule and share it with others using Calendar. Create separate calendars —one for home, another for school, a third for work, and so on. See all your calendars in a single window or choose to see only the calendars you want. Calendar lets you create invitations using information from Contacts, update your guest list, keep track of responses, and receive the latest status information. When you or another Mac user receives a Calendar invitation via Mail, it’s automatically added. Calendar also works with iCloud, Yahoo!, and Google. And when you use iCloud, every Calendar edit you make on your Mac automatically appears on your iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. So no dinner dates are missed, no meeting goes unattended, and no anniversary is forgotten.

Contacts is a flexible and convenient place to store information for everyone you know. It’s easy to import names, numbers, addresses, and photos from other applications. And it’s designed for Facebook, too. Contacts automatically includes your friends’ profile photos and information. And when friends update their information, Contacts updates your Mac. You can create smart groups for clubs, activities, and business purposes; print address labels and envelopes; and more. iCloud updates your contacts on your iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, and Mac — so when you enter someone’s contact info once, you have it everywhere. And since Contacts is built on vCard, an industry standard for storing contact information, your friends can send you cards that you can add simply by dropping them into your contacts list — no typing required.

When you add, delete, or edit a contact, iCloud updates your iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, and Mac.
