Key Features

M6 Chip
Everything you do on Mac mini feels more responsive with the M6 chip and its next-generation CPU. Fly through AI workflows with up to 4.8x faster AI performance[2], thanks to a Neural Accelerator in each GPU core, faster unified memory and a dual 16-core Neural Engine.

Connect It All
Features three Thunderbolt 4 ports, an HDMI port and a 2.5Gb Ethernet port in the back, and two USB-C ports and a headphone jack in front. Supports up to three external displays. With the Apple-designed N1 wireless chip for Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.[1]

A Powerful Platform for AI
Apple silicon is optimised to speed up AI workflows like using your own agents or multitasking across apps with AI features.

Memory and Storage
M6 brings up to 32GB of unified memory, up to 170GB/s memory bandwidth and up to 2x faster storage.[3] So you can quickly access large media files or accelerate tasks for AI workloads.

Looks Small. Lives Large
The ultracompact Mac mini fits perfectly under a monitor or is mini enough to set up just about anywhere.

Robust macOS
 macOS runs apps lightning-fast with its advanced operating system. It features Siri AI[4], a capable assistant with personal context understanding and broad world knowledge, and Apple Intelligence[5] seamlessly integrated into everyday apps and experiences. And with window tiling, Sidecar and more, you can stay productive.

[2]Testing conducted by Apple in July 2026 using preproduction Mac mini systems with Apple M6, 12-core CPU and 12-core GPU, and production Mac mini systems with Apple M4, 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU, both configured with 32GB of unified memory and 2TB SSD. Time to first token measured with an 8K-token prompt using a 14-billion parameter model with 4-bit quantisation, and LM Studio 0.4.18+1. Mac mini systems tested with an attached 5K display. Performance tests are conducted using specific computer systems and reflect the approximate performance of Mac mini.
