Apple Z1UA0004C Mac mini Compact Desktop M6 32GB Unified Memory 1TB SSD in Silver

The Apple Z1UA0004C Mac mini with M6 chip is an ultracompact desktop computer featuring a 12-core CPU, 12-core GPU, Dual 16-core Neural Engine, 32GB unified memory, 170GB/s memory bandwidth and a 1TB SSD.¹ It supports up to three external displays and combines hardware-accelerated ray tracing and a dedicated Media Engine with three Thunderbolt 4 ports, HDMI, 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi 7³ and Bluetooth 6. Built for productivity, creative work, coding, data analysis, gaming and supported on-device AI workflows, this silver Mac mini brings substantial capability to a compact workspace.

macOS adds built-in apps, privacy and security features, while iPhone Mirroring⁴, AirDrop, Universal Clipboard, calls, webcam use and document scanning help Mac mini and iPhone work together. Front USB-C ports keep frequent connections within reach, and the rear port array is ready for existing displays, storage and peripherals.

Key Features

M6 Compute, Graphics, and Media Performance

The M6 chip divides its 12-core CPU among 2 super cores, 4 performance cores and 6 efficiency cores, giving everyday apps and demanding projects responsive processing resources. Its 12-core GPU adds hardware-accelerated ray tracing for detailed lighting, shadows and reflections in supported games and 3D work, while the Media Engine accelerates H.264, HEVC, ProRes, ProRes RAW and AV1 workflows for playback and content production.

Dedicated Neural Hardware for AI

Neural Accelerators and a Dual 16-core Neural Engine provide dedicated resources for supported on-device inference, generative tools, agentic workflows and intelligent features in creative apps. Apple Intelligence and Siri AI extend that assistance to writing, automation, visual tasks and more where available.²

32GB Unified Memory and 1TB SSD

High-bandwidth unified memory is shared across the chip, helping demanding apps, development tools, creative projects and local AI workloads stay fluid while multitasking. The solid-state drive provides local space for software, media, project files and data, making this configuration well suited to work that goes beyond basic desktop use.

Up to Three External Displays

Create a broad workspace with two displays at up to 6K at 60Hz or 4K at 165Hz, plus a third display at up to 5K at 60Hz over Thunderbolt or 4K at 60Hz over HDMI. Two-display combinations can include one display at up to 8K at 60Hz, 5K at 120Hz or 4K at 240Hz, with support for variable refresh rate, HDR and multichannel audio.

Front and Back Port Access

This Apple desktop places two USB-C ports with USB 3 speeds up to 10Gb/s and a high-impedance-capable headphone jack on the front for frequently connected gear. Around back, three Thunderbolt 4 ports at up to 40Gb/s join HDMI and Ethernet for displays, fast storage, peripherals and wired networks.

Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet

The Apple N1 wireless networking chip supports Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6 and Thread networking technology for compatible networks, devices and smart-home connections.³ A 100/1000/2500BASE-T Ethernet port provides an RJ-45 option for stable Multi-Gigabit wired access.

macOS and iPhone Continuity

Built-in macOS tools cover productivity, communication, media, accessibility, backup, privacy and security. With an iPhone nearby, AirDrop moves files wirelessly, Universal Clipboard carries copied content between devices, and the phone can serve as a webcam or document scanner; iPhone Mirroring brings supported phone interaction to the Mac display.⁴

Recycled Materials and Energy Efficiency

Mac mini is made with 50% recycled content by device weight, including 100% recycled aluminum in the enclosure and thermal module stage.⁵ It is ENERGY STAR certified, uses 70% less energy than the ENERGY STAR requirement and ships in 100% fiber-based packaging.⁶

Footnotes:

¹ 1TB equals 1 trillion bytes; actual formatted capacity is less.

² Apple Intelligence and Siri AI availability, supported languages, regions, beta status, server-side usage limits and feature timing apply. Some features may not be available in all regions or languages.

³ Wi-Fi 7 availability varies by country and requires compatible network equipment.

⁴ iPhone Mirroring is not available in all countries and regions; some iPhone features, including camera and microphone, are not compatible with iPhone Mirroring.

⁵ Recycled-content calculations exclude packaging and in-box accessories; less than 3.5% of claimed recycled and renewable content uses mass-balance allocation.

⁶ The fiber-based packaging calculation is based on US retail packaging by weight and excludes adhesives, inks and coatings.

Displays, keyboard, mouse, trackpad, headphones and other accessories are sold separately unless specifically listed in the box.

10Gb Ethernet is an optional configure-to-order choice and is not included with Apple Z1UA0004C.
