Unibody Mac Mini
Structure
Starting from the mid 2010 revision, a removable panel on the bottom of the unit is featured and the user can upgrade the RAM. In addition, the new Mac Mini features an aluminium enclosure called the unibody. The unibody manufacturing process was originally developed for the MacBook Air [38] and later also used in the MacBook Pro. The power supply is also built in already without the need of an adapter. Another change is that this version has no Kensington Security Slot.[39] The fifth USB 2.0 port was removed for an SD card slot. Like the 2009 version, a mini DisplayPort (allowing for VGA with non-included cable) is also included. Lastly, an HDMI port replaces the mini-DVI port on the previous models as the main video connection. An HDMI to DVI adapter is included for those using a DVI interface. The HDMI port supports up to 1080p on HDMI connections and 8 channel 24-bit audio at 192 kHz, Dolby Surround 5.1 and stereo output. With the HDMI to DVI adapter, the HDMI port will work with resolutions up to 1920 × 1200 while the mini DisplayPort concurrently supports up to 2560 × 1600.
