The Mac Mini for desktop, released in 2014, offers many of the same attributes but with an extremely portable size. There are a few different models, and features to keep an eye out for, when youre considering a Mini Mac. Rewinding the price back to 2005: Apple introduced a new $499 model, $100 less than the previous.
The Mac mini doesn't come with a monitor, but you can connect it to one using one of the ports on the back of the device. Using the right adapter, you can connect the Mac Mini to any computer screen with a VGA port. The Mac Mini ships with a HDMI-to-DVI adapter but it's only really Apple monitors which use DVI, so for a regular monitor you.

Are you wondering what goes on inside Apple's Mac mini? Perhaps you've bought one and want to see what you can do with it?
If so, read on to discover everything you need to know about the Mac mini, from what it is, to how to set it up and tons of different things you can use it for, outside of a regular PC. 
What is a Mac mini and what does it do?The Mac mini is a small desktop computer made by Apple. What makes the Mac mini different from a regular computer is that it's shipped without an accompanying screen, keyboard or mouse. As Apple likes to say, it's 'BYODKM' (Bring Your Own Display, Keyboard, and Mouse).
The reason behind the Mac mini being shipped solo, is because most of its use cases feature around using it to power up another device, as we'll discuss in more detail below. 
It also makes for more of a flexible purchase. For example, if you already have a screen, or a keyboard and mouse, you can pair these with the Mac mini rather than forking out for new ones. And if you don't, you can easily purchase them alongside the Mac mini anyway. 

The Mac mini has been around since 2005 (launched at the same time as the iPod shuffle) but its design and functionality have changed since then. 
The latest 3.6 GHz Mac mini released in 2018 comes in two types of processing speed, the 3.6 GHz Mac mini Core i3 costing about $799 and the 3.0 GHz Mac mini Core i5 costing about $1099.
