Apple said at its iPad Pro + Mac media event in Brooklyn, New York City today that the just-announced Mac mini with pro-level hardware features is available to pre-order today ahead of in-store availability starting November 7.
The new Mac mini has five times the performance of the previous generation featuring 6-core desktop-class Intel processors, up to 64 GB of faster memory (this is more memory capacity than ever before), fast all-flash storage and much more.
The entry-level configuration starts at $799.
By comparison, the previous generation Mac mini configurations which compromised on features by using mobile versions of Intel chips/graphics cost $499, with more powerful $699 and $999 configurations available as well.
