This is the brand’s desktop model, but without a screen, allowing us to attach the peripherals that we want, whether they are from Apple or not, thus getting all the power of the Apple chip, but without having to pay so much for it.
Mac Mini M4: features
This product is based on a mini PC, as we have mentioned, without any extras, however, it has interesting hardware, and more so this year, adapted to Apple Intelligence, so they have had to increase its specifications. Among the highlights, in the economical version, since there are other superior ones, we have the following:
- New M4 chip with 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU
- 16GB RAM
- 256GB SSD
- Rear: Three Thunderbolt 4 ports, one HDMI port, and one Gigabit Ethernet port
- Front: Two USB-C ports, headphone jack
This sums up the equipment in a much more powerful computer than the previous one, since we went from an M2 to an M4, from 8 GB of RAM to 16 GB of RAM, and all this while maintaining the price of 719 euros in Spain.
It is difficult to find a mini PC with these characteristics for the price that Apple offers us, counting on the synchronization of its entire ecosystem, and with a macOS and Apple Intelligence above its rivals.
As for the size, it is the most compact model ever seen. Since the first version of the Mac Mini, it had taken the same dimensions, generation after generation, until now, seeing a marvel in the smallest space ever seen.
The new Mac mini is cute but it has scary power. In its 12.7 cm width there is no room for more technology or respect for the planet. It includes Apple’s innovative M4 and M4 Pro chips, with speed and performance to give and take, as well as a wide range of ports, now also on the front. Mac mini not only redefines efficiency, it’s also the first carbon-neutral Mac. A prodigy squared.
It can be ordered now, with November 8th being the moment in which we will release it, because like the iMac, it will not come out before, and shipping and collections are scheduled for that day.
He top of the range of the product will be the Mac Mini M4 Prowith the following:
- 12-core CPU 16-core GPU
- 24 GB of unified memory
- 512 GB SSD storage
Of course, the price is also doubled, the most interesting being the economical version, since it is not that far from the higher ones, and only people with specific needs such as more space or power (for certain jobs) will go for one of these.
And you, what did you expect from the Mac Mini? Has it surprised you, or was it what you thought it was going to have? There were doubts between 12 and 16GB RAMand it seems that Apple has opted to please its audience, and make most of us want to have it in our home in these 10 days left to see it in action.
