The latest Mac Mini release could get a power boost from a host of new processor options, such as Intel's Kaby Lake or Coffee Lake chips, a decided upgrade from some of the older models running Haswell processors. The current Mac Mini is available with a 1.4GHz, 2.6GHz, or 2.8GHz Intel core i5 processor (configurable up to a Core i7 in some instances).

"The Mac Mini has always been a great product to offer to businesses beginning to explore the switch from PC to Mac because of the attractive price point, a concise form factor that was easy to upgrade, and compatibility with existing accessories like racks, displays, printers, keyboards and mice," said Raiye Rosado, Apple business development manager for PCM. And since the device hasn't been updated for four years, users are suspecting a new Mac Mini to be on the lineup at an Apple event in October, especially since a new lineup of iPhone models was recently unveiled.
