# M1 Mac Mini with 10-gigabit networking: New Apple Purchase

The M1-powered [Mac Mini](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/49931/we-just-got-mac-mini-s-at-work-it-has-two-thunderbolt-ports-can-i-hook-up-two-monitors) can presently be configured to comprised 10-gigabit networking, an [alternative](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/2324/what-is-the-alternative-to-the-mvc) that the computer was notably incomplete related to its Intel-powered counterpart (via 9to5Mac). An update to the computer of 2020 appears to have come during Apple’s store update that arrives with the massive product announcements today, comprising a modern [iMac](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMac) & iPad Pros. Expanding the rapidly networking will enlarge $100 to the cost of the computer — the similar payment as if you existed to enhance 10Gbps to the Intel edition.

When Apple included the 10Gbps port as a choice to the Mac Mini in 2018, it was cheered by those operating home and skilled servers, [as well as](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/2481/can-you-write-a-java-class-that-could-be-used-both-as-an-applet-as-well-as-an-application) anyone who [required](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/160269/what-is-required-data-annotation-how-does-it-affect-model-validation) fast [network access](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/102574/what-are-the-features-of-google-s-beyondcorp-for-secure-network-access) from a reasonable Mac (like video professionals using network-attached storage).

But when Apple introduced a rapid edition of the computer with its custom chip, the potential to [enhance networking](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/113582/how-to-use-linkedin-to-enhance-networking) faster than the [standard](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/23223/naming-convention-or-coding-standard) Gigabit Ethernet existed no longer there. If the absence of 10Gb networking seized the (as of now) tiny valuable M1 computer out of the running for you, it’s now a choice again.

You can sanction the Apple Silicon Mac Mini with rapidly networking today, but it may be a bit of a delay for the [configuration](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/13112/setting-up-the-perfect-configuration-for-your-work-computer) — [Apple](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Inc.) calculates that I could possess a stock M1 Mac Mini ferried to me in 2 days, but enlarging the 10Gb ethernet spins that into 2 weeks.
