The Good Apple wrests excellent performance out of even the low-end Core i3 processor in the base configuration. The small system remains unobtrusive.

The four USB-C/Thunderbolt ports and 10Gb Ethernet option provide for more storage with fast external data transfers. The Bad You're stuck with integrated graphics unless you fork over the bucks and desk space for an eGPU. Relatively high entry price once you spring for the accessories and a display. It no longer serves as a budget option despite being the most affordable Mac. The Bottom Line The Apple Mac Mini 2018 continues to serve as a satisfying, gets-the-job-done desktop system that delivers surprising value when you want something designed to be seen and not heard. But like most Apple products, you can't upgrade it at home. Instead you'll have to take This undercuts one of upgradeable memory's perks: The option to buy less expensive memory elsewhere.

But if it's going to be another four years until Apple updates the again, then every little bit of upgradability helps. We tested the 'cheap' entry-level model, equipped with an Core i3-8100B, 8GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD. There isn't much to say about how it feels to use. It's similar to the old model. It drove a display via Thunderbolt without any unexpected issues (and at the monitor's maximum 75Hz refresh rate).

The speakers are still kind of tinny, but the system still has the quaint 3.5mm headphone jack that Apple's dropped from its other products. The B series of the Core are recent low-profile, thermally capped versions of their desktop counterparts designed for embedded systems and mini PCs. This is how Apple was able to switch from the last generation's mobile processors while keeping essentially the same design and without increasing its fan noise or noticeable heat.

The i3 wouldn't really stress the small box's cooling system so we can't speak to how it would handle a more demanding processor. But the new generation of the Core i3 delivers performance almost on par with the previous generation's i5. This Mini's processor fares well against last year's, though that uses a mobile version of the processor with very low power. Apple will probably switch the to the new generation of CPUs for the iMac in 2019, so the Mini won't necessarily remain comparable. (We didn't retest the 2014 Mac Mini for comparison, but Apple would have had to actively try to slow it down in order to deliver worse performance than those four-year-old components.).

On a PC, if you have a keyboard with a number pad to the right (see below for help with PC laptops). First, make sure that the 'Num Lock' key is selected (a light should come on at the top right of the keyboard to indicate that it is on). Once 'Num Lock' is on, you can insert special characters using the ALT key and various codes on the right number pad. For each special character, you hold down the ALT key and then key in the 3-digit code.

You must use the right number pad to key in the code; this is why this system doesn't work with laptops. The codes for the most common Spanish characters are.
