The new M4 Mac Mini, powered by the latest family of Apple Silicon, is here. This year, the biggest highlight of the devices is a further reduction in the size. At just five-by-five inches, this is the smallest mini-computer ever designed by the Cupertino-based tech giant. You can choose between the M4 and the M4 Pro chips, with the latter offering better productivity performance for professionals. Just like the iMac, the base model has been upgraded to 16 GB of RAM.
The device also comes with support for Apple Intelligence out of the box, and can now support up to three displays at once. It is available for pre-order now with orders starting to ship next week.
What are the specs of the M4 Mac Mini?
The highlighted feature of the latest Mac Mini is the new chip in it. The M4 is a fair bit more powerful than the last generation, especially in the GPU and the neural processor departments. The graphics chip can now handle much more demanding workloads, including video games. According to Apple, you can expect a 220% performance uplift in demanding titles compared to the M1 Mac Mini.
