There’s the aforementioned SDXC card reader as well as Gigabit Ethernet for wired network connections. For regular displays, or for connecting to a TV, there's also an HDMI port.

This gives you an additional Thunderbolt 2 over the previous Mac Mini, which will make connecting two DisplayPort (or Apple Thunderbolt) displays possible it also gives you more flexibility if you're using Thunderbolt external storage. There are four USB3 ports and two Thunderbolt 2 ports, so you’re not left wanting for high-speed transfer potential.
We have to admit that Apple's choice does maintain the system’s clean, uncluttered appearance. It's for this reason that we tend to place this computer on the edge of the desk with the rear pointing sideways so that the SD card slot is easily accessible. All of the system’s connections are tidily hidden away on the back, which you might find inconvenient if you plan on regularly connecting USB devices or reading from SD cards. A small white LED is on the front, as is an IR receiver for use with the optional remote, but other than that there isn’t anything else on the front or sides. As it’s so lovely to look at you may well want it on show.Īside from an Apple logo on its top, there’s little to distract.

It’s not as small as some compact PC systems, such as the Cyberpower Fang Mini it is small enough to easily hide away. The Mini is made from a single block of aluminium and it shows through the lack of joins and its beautiful curved edges. Encased in a 36mm thick aluminium unibody chassis, it's a sleek and elegant system. The new Mac Mini 2014 uses the same chassis as its predecessor, so it gets no complaints from us there. It may not be cheap, but in terms of design it's great.
It costs £100 less for the entry-level model, with prices starting at £399 we got sent to mid-range model to test, which costs considerably more at £569.
After a few years waiting for a new model, the 2014 Mac Mini is here. The Mac Mini has always been a popular choice for those either looking for their first OS X system, or for anyone that wanted to use their own monitors but didn't fancy the expense of the Mac Pro.
