The Apple Mac mini "Core i5" 2.3 (Mid-2011/Aluminum Unibody) features a
32-nm "Sandy Bridge" 2.3 GHz Intel "Core i5" (2415M) processor with two
independent processor "cores" on a single chip, a 3 MB shared level 3
cache, 2 GB of 1333 MHz DDR3 SDRAM (PC3-10600) memory, a 500 GB hard
drive, and Intel HD Graphics 3000 with 288 MB of memory shared with the
system.
Connectivity includes a Firewire "800" port, four USB 2.0 ports,
combined "audio line in (digital/analog)" and combined "audio line
out/headphone (digital/analog)" minijacks, a 10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit
Ethernet port, 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, an SDXC card slot and
an HDMI port as well as a new "Thunderbolt" port that is backwards
compatible with Mini DisplayPort and likewise supports an external
display at 2560x1600 and passes an audio signal as well. Thunderbolt
also supports other peripherals that use the Thunderbolt standard which
provides up to 10 Gbps of bandwidth in both directions.
Compared to its non-server predecessor, the most obvious external difference is that this model lacks an optical drive,
but it also has the aforementioned Thunderbolt port and is a bit
lighter. Internally, it also has a faster processor, architecture, RAM
and graphics as well as improved wireless capabilities.
All Mac
mini systems are configured by default without a display, keyboard, or
mouse, but numerous Apple and third-party options are available.
