As with any Apple product, a lot of time and effort goes into the design of the Mac mini. Since 2010 the Mac mini has implemented the unibody design found on the iMac and MacBook Pro. Whilst the mini is considered at the bottom end of the Mac desktop spectrum, with the Pro at the top and the iMac in the middle, the mini is designed as more of a compact system that can be used for most everyday tasks and the occasional medium performance task.
The Mac mini itself has an aluminium casing with just a power LED and an infrared window on the front whilst the top of the Mac mini features the prominent Apple logo in black plastic.
The rear of the Mac mini features all of the ports and it has a black strip of plastic surrounding them.
Internally, the Mac mini has easy access to the memory and the hard drive is not too difficult
