4 Tons of Connectivity Options
The new Mac mini may feature a design and footprint largely unchanged from that of its predecessor, but the really big changes have taken place under the hood.
One of them is a major upgrade to the Mac mini’s connectivity options. While the previous model shipped with a standard Ethernet port, two Display Ports, an HDMI 1.0 port, four USB 2.0 ports, a headphone jack and an SD card slot, the new Mac mini upgrades those inputs across the board, replacing them with a new and improved 10Gb Ethernet port, four Thunderbolt 3 ports (USB-C), an HDMI 2.0 port and two USB 3.0 ports along with a headphone jack.
