It’s Apple’s first carbon-neutral Mac and can easily handle the demands of the most intensive workflows and power the very best of Apple Intelligence.
A MINIATURE MARVEL
The new Mac mini’s drastic size reduction showcases Apple’s engineering prowess. This iteration is smaller than previous models and boasts remarkable energy efficiency, thanks to the all-new M4 and M4 Pro chips. Compared to the M1 model, the M4 offers up to 1.8x faster CPU performance and 2.2x faster GPU performance. The M4 Pro, on the other hand, delivers double the performance of the M4, scaling up capabilities for heavyduty applications and demanding workflows. Imagine a desktop that fits in the palm of your hand but supports complex video editing, rapid AI processing, and immersive gaming.
The Mac mini now merges these possibilities into a compact device. It’s a dream come true for anyone needing top-tier functionality without the bulk. Apple’s clever thermal architecture enables impressive performance without the risk of overheating, managing airflow with a foot vent at the device’s base. Apple has outdone itself with the launch video for the new Mac mini, showcasing the device in an entirely new light. The video leans into the “humanization” of this tiny powerhouse, blending creative storytelling with state-of-the-art technology.
The design is so appealing that you could envision it as a style statement; the “cube” aesthetic lends itself to the level of mainstream desirability once seen with Beats headphones and Apple might just be counting on that.
The Mac mini’s look and feel also make it an attractive addition to any workspace, with an aesthetic that is as refined as it is functional.
