With the introduction of the iMac Pro, Apple now has more Mac desktops in its lineup than ever before. Whether you're looking for a base-level headless Mac, a basic-to-midrange all-in-one, or some pro-level power, there are some solid options here.

1. A gamer’s take on the new Mac mini. The previous-generation model couldn’t even run that game at all. I’m delighted to see Apple finally bring the Mac mini in line with the rest of.
2. 2018-12-23  My 2018 Mac Mini too has BT connectivity issues out of the box. Applecare made me go through all the software check steps - reset SMC, D startup, delete p-list, test user, malware test etc - to nought. Was told to set up a hardware check with Apple store as a last resort.

Which should you buy for your needs? Here's our breakdown.

The Mac mini

The Mac mini is Apple's least expensive desktop computer and remained so even after a price hike with its latest refresh in 2018. Now a more capable competitor in the desktop landscape, the Mac mini is a great option for those that don't mind bringing their own monitor. It might just be the best Mac desktop for everyday users while remaining a great option for a variety of pros.

Unlike the iMac, the Mac mini doesn't come with a monitor. In fact, it doesn't come with anything other than a power cord. Still as small as it's ever been, the Mac mini needs you to bring the monitor, keyboard, and mouse or trackpad into the equation. Part of the reason for this is cost: Apple doesn't include anything else to keep the base price as low as it is. But it's also about convenience and cutting down on waste. The Mac mini can be (and is built to be able to be) used as a server, connected to multiple Mac minis in a server farm. Where other Apple desktops come with a keyboard and mouse automatically, Apple knows that a lot of Mac minis are just going into a server setup, so it's best not to bother.

The Mac mini starts at $799 for the baseline low-end model with a quad-core 3.6GHz eighth-generation Intel processor. It can be configured with a six-core 3.2GHz eighth-generation Intel processor, 64GB of RAM, 2TB of storage, and 10 Gigabit Ethernet for $3,199.

Storage is all solid-state and very fast. While you can't upgrade the internal storage after you order, you can upgrade the memory on your own through a fairly simple process. Starting with 8GB of RAM, you can swap it out later for up to 64GB.

With an up to six-core processor, the Mac mini is more powerful and capable than ever for a wide variety of tasks. From music and video production to photo editing, it's a great little machine for amateurs, as well as professionals who don't need an incredibly powerful rig. Because it features four Thunderbolt 3 ports, you can expand the Mac mini to meet your needs, including adding an external GPU for faster graphics processing on those applications that take advantage of Apple's Metal graphics architecture. You can also take advantage of its Ethernet port, either 1Gbit or 10Gbit, for fast wired networking and data transfer, particularly when set up as part of a server farm. HDMI 2.0 can output at 4K at faster frame rates, perfect for anyone looking to use the Mac mini as a home theater PC.

While not as cheap as it used to be, the Mac mini is still a great low-cost investment for many people, especially those looking for an HTPC or just a general-purpose desktop computer. If you need something with more power, or you need a computer with a display and peripherals, you should instead take a look at the iMac, iMac Pro, or Mac Pro line.

Mini but mighty

Mac mini

Apple's most affordable Mac.

The tiny Mac mini was essentially reintroduced to the world in 2018. The Mac mini's powerful expansion options, from four Thunderbolt 3 ports to the option for up to 10Gbit Ethernet, mean that it's ready for almost anything you might throw at it, whether you're using it as your everyday desktop or stacking several together to build a server farm.

The iMac is Apple's all-in-one computer — literally. The iMac's processor, GPU, and other internals are hidden behind its display, giving it a remarkably thin (5mm at its edge) appearance for having so much tucked inside. It also comes with a Bluetooth-connected Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse 2 (though you can swap to the Magic Trackpad 2 if you choose) to let you start working right out of the box.

The iMac comes in two sizes and three models:

• the 21.5-inch with 1920 x 1080 sRGB display (primarily for education)
• the 21.5-inch with 4096 x 2304 Retina 4K P3 color display
• the 27-inch with 5120 x 2880 Retina 5K P3 display

All sizes and resolutions support millions of colors; additionally, the 5K Retina display supports an even billion colors, and both the 4K and 5K displays a 500-nit brightness rating.

Pricing starts at just $1,099 for the base model, though costs can exceed $4,800 if you go for a fully-loaded 27-inch 5K model. Each model of iMac differs slightly in processor power, memory, and speed:

• The standard resolution iMac sports a 2.3GHz dual-core i5 processor, with 8GB (upgradeable to 16) of memory and a 1TB hard drive (upgradeable to a 1TB Fusion Drive or 256SSD).
• The 21.5-inch 4K model starts at a 3.6Ghz quad-core i3 (upgradeable to a 3.2Ghz six-core i7), with 8GB (upgradeable to 32GB) of memory and a 1TB hard drive (upgradeable to a 1TB Fusion Drive or 256GB-1TB SSD).
• The 27-inch 5K model starts at a 3.0Ghz six-core i5 (upgradeable to a 3.6Ghz eight-core i9), with 8GB (up to 64GB) of memory and a 1TB Fusion Drive (upgradeable to a 2 or 3TB Fusion drive, or up to a 2TB SSD).

Additionally, their graphics cards differ:

• The base model ships with an integrated Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640 card.
• The 21.5-inch 4K model ships with either a Radeon Pro 555X card with 2GB video memory, or a Radeon Pro 560X with 4GB video memory at a $200.
• The 27-inch 5K model ships with a Radeon Pro 570X card with 4GB video memory standard; additionally, you can upgrade to a Radeon Pro 575X with 4GB video memory or Radeon Pro 580X with 8GB video memory for $200 and $500, respectively. The top-end iMac can also be equippd with a Radeon Pro Vega 48 GPU with 8GB of video memory for an additional $450.

The iMac is truly Apple's Swiss army knife of computers: With an all-in-one shell, it can fit in almost any environment where users don't already have external peripherals.

The base model is great for educators and household tasks, while the 4K model provides an excellent mid-size screen and horsepower for basic video editing, day-to-day work, and gaming. If your needs exceed these tasks, the 5K iMac provides a huge jump up in parallel processing power and graphics, offering VR-ready performance and room to process video, photography, and basic software development.

But even the 5K model may not be enough for you: If you work in an industry that requires heavy-duty rendering power and simultaneous processing, you may want to set your sights on the iMac Pro or Mac Pro.

All-in-on powerhouse

iMac

All-in-one for everyone.

Apple's all-in-one desktop is available in a number of different options that'll make it the perfect desktop computer for your needs. Do you need a lot of storage? What about memeory, or graphics? You can configure an iMac to be just the machine you need it to, all with a big, beautiful 21.5- or 27-inch display.

If the iMac is a Swiss army knife, the iMac Pro is a high-end chef's instrument. It serves one primary purpose: To utterly destroy any and all multithreaded tasks and rendering thrown its way.

The iMac Pro is not a computer for your average user. Though its space gray sheen may attract those who otherwise don't need the machine, its $4999 starting price tag should ward off most idle interest.

That price is out of the ordinary for an iMac, and for good reason: This iMac is packed full of hardware to make video editing, photography, VFX, software development, gaming, and base VR development, as easy as possible.

Depending on your needs (and budget), the iMac Pro offers several processor configurations:

• A 3.2Ghz (Turbo Boost up to 4.2Ghz) 8-core Intel Xeon W (the base model)
• A 3.0Ghz (Turbo Boost up to 4.5Ghz) 10-core Intel Xeon W (the optimal middle ground for both single and multithreaded processes)
• A 2.5Ghz (Turbo Boost up to 4.3Ghz) 14-core Intel Xeon W (super-charged version of the 10-core)
• A 2.3Ghz (Turbo Boost up to 4.3Ghz) 18-core Intel Xeon W (the best machine for multithreaded processes)

There are also two distinct graphics platforms built into the machine:

• The Radeon Pro Vega 56 with 8GB of HBM2 memory (great for software development)
• The Radeon Pro Vega 64 with 16GB of HBM2 memory (great for VR and VR development, and other graphics-intensive processes)
• The Radeon Pro Vega 64X with 16GB of HBM2 memory

It's also worth noting that you'll be able to hook up multiple external GPUs to the iMac Pro if you so choose, which means doubling (or tripling) your graphics processing power.

You can also get a truly ridiculous amount of on-board memory and solid-state storage: Memory ranges from 32GB to 128GB, and you can pay an additional $1,000 to upgrade your 1TB hard drive to 4TB. These configurations are installed when you purchase the machine, and can only be changed by Apple itself or its authorized service providers.

Who should get the iMac Pro? Those who truly need it: Graphics pros, video editors, VR gamers who want a higher-end Mac than the highest-end iMac without having to pay for an external GPU, software developers, and the like.

You shouldn't get an iMac Pro if you're just coveting the space gray color or the prospect of that raw power — chances are, unless you work in an industry that requires its processing power, you won't nearly put it through its paces.

You also shouldn't get an iMac Pro if you're coveting a non-all-in-one solution. While the iMac Pro can hook up to multiple external displays, RAID systems, and eGPUs, it ultimately relies on external accessories to augment its performance; if you want a computer that you can upgrade yourself, you might want to consider the upcoming Mac Pro instead.

The pro all-in-one

iMac Pro

An all-in-one for demanding professionals.

Powered by Intel Xeon W processors with up to 18 cores, up to 4TB or storage, and 256GB of DDR4 ECC memory, the iMac Pro truly is a pro-focused, all-in-one monster or a machine, ready for any task you'd care to throw at it. Radeon Pro graphics make Metal operations faster than ever, while its unique dual-vent cooling system keeps temperatures down to allow the iMac Pro to handle a much higher load than is possible in the standard iMac.

Apple introduced a new Mac Pro in 2019, and it's really a niche machine aimed at professional video editing, graphic design, music, 3D animation, and virtual reality development. This is not a Mac for people looking to edit photos or enthusiests trying to get the most power out of the Mac that they can. This is purpose-built for high-end, professional production.

Replacing the previous Mac Pro's cylindrical 'trash can' is an aluminum box. An evolution of what was affectionately called the 'cheese grater' design of older Mac Pros, this new casing comes in two parts. The metal frame that stands on your desk and holds the internals of the Mac Pro itself, as well as the aluminum outer shell. The shell, which is held in place by a locking handle mechanism, can be quickly removed so that you can inspect, modify, and clean your Mac Pro with ease.

Inside the Mac Pro, Apple is once again using Intel's Xeon processors. Starting with the 8-core Intel Xeon W, you can configure your Mac Pro with your choice of a 12-, 16-, 24-, or 28-core CPU depending on your needs. The computer supports up to 1.5TB (yes, terabytes) of DDR4 error-correcting code (ECC) memory spread out over 12 user-accessible slots. It features eight PCIe expansion slots, some of which can also serve to hold Apple's new, custom Mac Pro Expansion (MPX) modules. You can use any of the slots to hold conventional graphics cards as well. The MPX bays feature an x16 gen 3 PCIe slot for graphics bandwidth, as well as an x8 gen 3 slot for Thunderbolt.

The MPX modules are custom Apple graphics modules meant for high-end video, 3D animation, and VR production. Built with AMD graphics processors, an MPX module can hold up to two of them at a time for maximum performance. Currently, MPX modules come in three flavors: AMD Radeon Pro 580X, Radeon Pro Vega II, or Radeon Pro Vega II Duo, which comes with two Vega II GPUs. The Mac Pro is designed to hold up to two of these MPX modules at once. Apple has also created the Afterburner card, an accelerator card specifically designed to dramatically increase the performance of the ProRes and ProRes RAW codecs in Final Cut, QuickTime Player, and supported third-party apps.

When it comes to storage the Mac Pro will only be available with solid state drives. You can get it with up to 8TB of storage on board, though it was originally annoucnced with 4TB. You can, of course, also expand it externally through its Thunderbolt 3 ports.

If the iMac Pro doesn't appeal to you and you absolutely need a new pro-level Mac, you might want to consider this Mac Pro.

Unlimited power

Mac Pro (2019)

Redefining the professional workstation.

At long last, Apple has introduced a new Mac Pro. Expensive, expansive, and powerful, the new Mac Pro is able to take on any task you decide to put it to. Meant for high-end music, video, and animation production, the Mac Pro can feature a processor with up to 28 cores and up to 1.5TB of memory. The custom MPX graphics modules, with dual AMD graphics processors, can handle high-bandwidth video loads for the most demanding productions.

While the 2018 Mac mini is remarkably powerful and remarkably good value for what it does, you can't call it inexpensive. Now that it's been launched, however, there is an argument for Apple to do something to make it more affordable for education and for the now seemingly-abandoned switcher market.


No question, the new Mac mini is a tremendous machine and if we'd all like it to be cheaper, well, that's the case with nearly everything Apple has ever done. This time, though, there is a way that Apple could reduce the price of this model for some markets that it isn't serving well at present.
Those markets do include Switchers. The original Mac mini was squarely aimed at Windows users who'd yet to see the light and weren't going to while Apple computers were so expensive. By cutting down to the essentials and expecting people to provide their own keyboard, mouse and monitor, Apple served a significant market with a significant machine.
Today the Switcher market may not be key in the way in once was, but Apple still needs new users and the Mac mini is still the cheapest route in. The cheapest MacBook you can buy is an old MacBook Air for $999 but that's hardly machine enough to get people hooked on the range.
That means you have to spend $1,199 at least for a MacBook and then you're heading toward the $1,400 or so that you'd need for an iMac.
Compared to them, the Mac mini is a steal even at $799. Except new users won't be comparing it to the iMac and the MacBooks, they'll still be comparing them to Windows machines. On paper, Windows wins but even people have direct experience of Macs and know their longer-term worth, still budgets regularly force them to take the cheapest option.
Apple's already lost the education market to Chromebooks for this reason and precisely this reason alone.
Which is a shame because Apple used to have a strong grip on education —and that's the other market we think it should and could aim a $499 Mac mini at.

Education, education, education

Game On Windows With 2018 Mac Mini Download

Despite its thoroughly earned reputation for only selling the most expensive devices, you can still take your pick from half a dozen times that Apple has reduced costs for education.

Steve Jobs told the Smithsonian Institute in 1995 that 'one of the things that built Apple II was schools buying [them].'
He talked about the impact a single computer terminal had made on him and how he wanted the same thing for everybody. 'We wanted to donate a computer to every school in America,' he said. 'It turns out that there about a hundred thousand schools we couldn't afford that as a company.'
However, Apple found that there was an existing law that said if you donate a computer to a university then you get a tax deduction.
'That basically means you don't make any money, you lose some but you don't lose too much,' said Jobs. 'You lose about ten percent. We could give a hundred thousand computers away, one to each school and it would cost our company ten million dollars.'
He accepted that this was a lot of money to Apple at the time and added that 'it was less than a hundred million dollars. We decided that we were willing to do that.'

It didn't work nationally. However, it did in California —Jobs says that the state passed a bill giving this tax break and so Apple ended up giving away 10,000 computers to schools.
That's still impressive, but compare it to the original plan. Apple in the early 1980s was willing to spend 10 million dollars to help education. Now, doubtlessly there was the awareness that the computer you use in school is the computer you're going to want to buy afterwards but that's one thing that hasn't changed.
If Apple can get its machines into people's hands, they tend to like them and they tend to stay as buyers.
So here's option one: take the new 2018 Mac mini, cut down some of the premium components, and cut $300 off it. They could sell over 33,000 Mac minis at a loss and not exceed what the company was willing to spend nearly four decades ago.
With inflation, $10 million in about 1981 is worth around $27 million today so Apple could actually subsidize 90,000 Mac minis and be ahead of the game.

It won't

Scenario one isn't going to happen the way that Jobs spelled it out, and if it did, then you know there would be much greater demand for these cheaper educational Mac minis than 90,000.
However, this '80s education plan wasn't some one-off idea of Apple's, it was the start of what the company continued with the eMac in 2002.
Or then there's the way Apple presented a cheaper version of the Apple Pencil for education. It wasn't an Apple product, it was the Logitech Crayon, but it was front-and-center in an Apple presentation just this March and it was exclusively for education.

Or in that same presentation, Apple gave education users an iCloud storage boost. Instead of the 5GB we all get as owners of Apple devices, students and teachers were to get 200GB free.

Imac Cpu

Whisky bottle economics

Or say Apple does not take a hit for selling a lower-cost Mac mini with the same specs into education. Say it produces a new one that is specifically for this market and which it can afford to release for $499 without discounts. As much as we like the processors options, the RAM and the storage in the new Mac mini, Apple could reduce each of them. If it did that, you can bet that a cheaper Mac mini would go the same route as the eMac and the eMate and the Logitech Crayon —it would start as an education-only product and soon become available to all.
This is where the cost of manufacturing is an issue, though, and that's one point we can't realistically begin to guess about. That doesn't stop anybody from trying, though, and especially so when there are key areas that we know are potential cost savings.
Such as Thunderbolt 3. There might well be K-12 schools that would like Thunderbolt 3, but there's surely none that need it on every unit in the building. Similarly, PCI-e NVMe storage could still be replaced by slower options —like the flash cells in the sixth generation iPad we mentioned before.
There's not a compelling need for a ton of storage per machine, because networking and user spaces on that network are prevalent, and easy to access. Or, they can even use Google services, if need be.
The trouble with this argument is that it assumes parts can easily be removed from a whole with a 50 percent reduction in capacity also reducing cost by 50 percent. Nonetheless, the reverse is true: each of these parts costs money.
So there is surely a sweet spot somewhere between options for expandability and essentials for running. We might be underselling what schools want but we think we're right about what they need and Apple could provide it —which is another way of saying that Apple isn't providing it now.
Again and probably forever, we like this new Mac mini and it's great that Apple has made it.

There is just scope to do more for education and specifically to do more with a lower-priced version right now.

If not now

Game On Windows With 2018 Mac Mini To Edit Video

We're not going to say that if Apple fails to produce a cheaper Mac mini now that it's going to cede control of more than the education market. We'd like to see it bring out such a Mac and we can see that delays hurt, but there is something else that waiting could bring Apple.
It could bring the end of Intel. More than that, it's looking increasingly likely that Intel will exit stage left the same way that the PowerPC did before it. So many signs point to Apple replacing Intel processors with ones of its own design that it seems as close to certain as anything ever is with this company.
If Apple swaps to its own ARM-based processors, all the discussion so far has been about the technological advantage it would give the company. There's an economic one too —leaving Intel obviously means no longer paying an outside firm. In theory, that could lead to lower prices for consumers.
Apple will not cut its profit margin on any device unless it has to. However, if a move away from Intel significantly reduces the cost of manufacture, it could keep the same margin but substantially reduce the retail price.
It's impossible to estimate by how much it could lower that price but consider the Apple TV. That's an ARM-based Apple computer with 32GB of storage and it costs $169.

Mac Mini Windows 10

Could, would, should

In the future, Apple will probably have this opportunity to reduce costs by dropping Intel. Today it could reduce costs by saving on parts and cutting options to make a more bare-bones and non-upgradeable Mac mini for education or for the switcher audience it seems to have mostly abandoned with the new Mac mini.
The market appears to be there for a $499 Mac mini, so the the only two questions left is whether Apple wants to enter that price-point again, or is capable of manufacturing a machine for that price. It certainly managed to build them right up to about last Tuesday when it finally replaced the $499 Mac mini with this new design.
