If you need an optical drive, you can add the external Apple USB SuperDrive for $79. System memory can no longer be upgraded after purchase.įireWire 800 is gone, but it has two Thunderbolt 2 ports, four USB 3.0, Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11ac WiFi, and Bluetooth 4.0. Apple last updated the Mac mini in Late 2014, moving to a 1.4 GHz dual-core low-power Intel i5 CPU that can Turbo Boost to 2.6 GHz on the entry-level model and a very powerful 2.6 GHz i5 on the “better” Mini (power hungry users can upgrade that to a 2.8 GHz i5 or 3.0 GHz i7).
