Apple doubles the storage in the standard Mac mini
Apple has announced that the standard configurations of its Mac mini will now come with double the amount of storage. The computer’s $799 base configuration now comes with 256GB of storage, while the $1,099 configuration has 512GB. Apple announced the change alongside its new MacBook Air and iPad Pro.

This latest update doesn’t change anything about the GPU configuration, but it will benefit people who want to buy the Mac mini for use as a media server, or other storage tasks. The new storage options are live on Apple’s site now.
