In January 2005, the original Mac Mini was introduced with the PowerPC G4 CPU. The machine was initially branded as "BYODKM" (Bring Your Own Display, Keyboard, and Mouse) as a strategic pitch to encourage users to switch from Windows and Linux computers. Since launch, it has shipped without a display, keyboard, and mouse.

As of 2022, it is positioned between the consumer all-in-one iMac and the professional Mac Studio and Mac Pro as one of four current Mac desktop computers. Mac Mini (stylized as Mac mini) is a small form factor desktop computer developed and marketed by Apple Inc. IMac, Mac Pro, iMac Pro, Developer Transition Kit, Mac Studio
