The Apple Mac mini 'Core 2 Duo' 2.4 (Mid-2010/Aluminum Unibody) features a 2.4 GHz Intel 'Core 2 Duo' (P8600) processor, a 3 MB on-chip level 2 cache, a 1066 MHz frontside bus, 2 GB of 1066 MHz DDR3 SDRAM (PC3-8500) memory, a 320 GB 3 Gb/s Serial ATA hard drive, a slot-loading 8X double-layer 'SuperDrive', and a NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics processor with 256 MB of memory shared with the system.
Connectivity includes an HDMI and a Mini DisplayPort, 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, built-in AirPort Extreme (802.11a/b/g/n), and Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, in addition to an SD (SDXC) card slot.
Unlike earlier Mac mini models, which use a polycarbonate case, the 'Mid-2010' line uses a 'Unibody' case -- milled from a single block of aluminum -- with a 'spin off' black plastic base on the underside that makes it easy to upgrade the RAM. The power supply is integrated as well. All Mac mini systems ship without a display, keyboard, or mouse, but numerous Apple and third-party options are available.
