The M1-powered Mac Mini can presently be configured to comprised 10-gigabit networking, an alternative 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 & 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 anyone who required fast 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 faster than the 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 — Apple 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.
