The
Mac Mini
is a
personal computer
made by
Apple Inc.
It is small for a desktop computer, at 6.5 inches (16.5 cm) square and 2 inches (5.1 cm) tall. It was introduced on January 22, 2005. The newest model came out on Nov 2020. It weighs 2.9 pounds (1.31 kg). The Mac Mini's
power supply
is outside of the machine. It is about one third of the size of the computer itself.
The Mac Mini is the first
Macintosh
desktop to not ship with a
keyboard
or
mouse
. Also, it does not come with a display. The Mac Mini is mainly intended for buyers who are "switchers" (users moving from PC/Windows to Mac) who already own a display,
USB
keyboard and a mouse. Others could easily buy these if needed.

The newest model comes with
Apple M1
, 8 or 16 GB RAM, 256 GB, 1, 2 or 4 TB solid-state drive. It costs $699.
