In the Apple presentation that has just ended, a device that we did not expect has been "cast". It had been leaked that the first Macs of the new Apple Silicon era would surely be some MacBook, and perhaps a new iMac with a new design, but no one had talked about a Mac mini.
Well, we already have here an interesting new Mac mini with M1 processor, with very good performance, and above a hundred Euros cheaper than the existing model until today. And on top of that, it is already available with delivery next week. Without a doubt, we are in luck. Let's see the features of this new device.
The new Mac mini along with the M1 processor without a doubt they have surprised all of us who have followed the event «One more thing»That ended a while ago. Apple can certainly be satisfied with the team working on the Apple Silicon project for its secrecy.
They already surprised us in the June WWDC keynote by showing us how advanced the Apple Silicon project was, about which almost nothing was known until that presentation. And now, when we have spent days speculating with a non-existent processor A14X, Apple presents its brand new M1 chip, and also mounted on a Mac mini of which we had no idea of its development.
