Mac mini(M1, 2020)

Background

On November 10, 2020, Apple announced an updated Mac mini with an Apple-designed M1 processor, launched alongside an updated MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro as the first Macs with Apple's new line of custom ARM-based Apple silicon processors. The Apple silicon Mac Mini also adds support for Wi-Fi 6, USB4, and 6K output to run the Pro Display XDR. Externally, it is similar to the 2018 Mac Mini but returns to a lighter, silver finish similar to the third-generation (2010–2014) models. Options for over 16 GB of RAM are no longer available. External display support is also reduced to one display over USB-C/Thunderbolt, though a second display is supported over HDMI; the previous Intel-based model could drive two 4K displays over USB-C/Thunderbolt. On April 20, 2021, 10 Gigabit Ethernet was added as a built-to-order option.
