Processor type: Intel Core i7 (I7-3720QM M “Ivy Bridge”).Mac mini (2.6GHz Intel Core i7, Late/Server 2012) 1 Mac mini (2.6GHz Intel Core i7, Late/Server 2012).The Mac mini Core i7 / 2.3 (late 2012) is shipped without a display, a keyboard and a mouse. As for the wireless, the Mac mini Core i7 / 2.3 (late 2012) has standard AirPort Extreme (802.11a/b/g/n) and Bluetooth 4.0. The net top has an HDMI video out and a Thunderbolt port, four USB 3.0 ports and one Firewire 800 port, a built-in mono-speaker, an audio-out mini-jack and an audio line-in/digital audio input. The Mac mini Core i7 / 2.6 (late 2012) features a top-class quad-core 2.6 GHz Intel “Core i7 ” (3720QM) processor, 4GB of RAM (PC2-10600), two 1 TB Ultra ATA/100 hard drive (5400 RPM) and Intel HD Graphics 4000 graphics with 512MB of integrated memory. The line-up of late 2012 got the faster and more elaborate Intel Ivy Bridge processor and up-to-date USB 3.0 ports. The design is the same: it is a cuboid aluminum casing with an internal power unit, a Thunderbolt port, a removable panel on the bottom to provide an access to upgradeable RAM and no internal optical drive. Plus, Apple doesn't make the quad-cores anymore.Mac Mini (2.6GHz Intel Core i7, Late/Server 2012) is the build-to-order server iteration of the Mac mini Core i5 / 2.5 (late 2012) but with a faster top-class Intel processor and two 1 TB hard drives. Highly recommend! You'll save at least $5 00 or more over buying a high end new one that you can't upgrade. Plus, I can upgrade the HD in the Mac Mini if I need more space in the future. My configuration is a quad-core i7 2.6 Ghz Mac Mini with 16GB RAM and 1TB Samsung SSD and it's blazing fast and handles my large iPhoto and iTunes libraries like a champ and doesn't hesitate one bit. I have a huge iPhoto library with over 15 years of pictures and 65000+ photos and the Intel Core Duo, 4GB of RAM and slower hard drive just couldn't keep up. I bought this to replace an aging 24' 2007 iMac Intel Core Duo that was at max capacity with only 4GB of RAM and still has the original 5400RPM HD. The Mac Mini is the most bang for your buck if you want a Mac and these late 2012 models are the last of the models that are user-upgradable. Great product! Last of the user-upgradable Mac minis.
