This makes the new mini enclosure slightly heavier than that of the previous models, but the new enclosure also feels much more solid-this is the sturdiest-feeling computer I’ve ever used. With the exception of a black-plastic panel on the back for ports and connectors, and a circular, black-plastic door on the bottom, the body of the mini is machined from a single piece of aluminum. And instead of using a multi-piece body made of white plastic and aluminum, the new Mac mini adopts the all-aluminum Unibody design of Apple’s current While still square, the mini is now 7.7 inches to a side but only 1.4 inches tall-almost the exact same size as theĪpple TV ( ), but with rounder corners. While every previous mini sported a 6.5- by 6.5- by 2-inch case, the new model slims down, widens out, and gets a makeover. The most outwardly obvious change to the Mac mini is its new enclosure.
