Steve Jobs referred to it as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GJpZGeihy0s\">a \u201cBYODKM\u201d system<\/a>: you\u2019d bring your own display, keyboard, and mouse, and the Mini would provide a dependable computing experience with all the benefits of macOS. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">The Mac Mini has carried on ever since. There have been periods where the Mini has been sidelined and ignored by Apple for long stretches of time. But the debut of Apple Silicon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2020\/11\/17\/21570046\/apple-mac-mini-2020-m1-review\">gave it a new lease on life<\/a>. Even if the overall design didn\u2019t change much in the transition from Intel to Apple\u2019s in-house chips, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/23566070\/apple-mac-mini-m2-pro-2023-review\">the Mini\u2019s potential soared<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">But now that design <em>is<\/em> about to change. And if the rumors prove accurate, it\u2019s going to be a radical makeover. <em>Bloomberg\u2019s<\/em> Mark Gurman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2024-08-08\/mac-mini-m4-apple-plans-to-release-smallest-desktop-computer-yet\">has reported<\/a> that the M4-powered Mac Mini will shrink down in size so significantly that its footprint will resemble that of an Apple TV. The new Mac Mini will be anything <em>but<\/em> a stripped down Mac. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"my-9\">\n<p><figcaption class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup inline text-gray-13 dark:text-gray-e9 [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-black [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-e9 dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-gray-63 [&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-13 dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-63\"><em>Steve Jobs shows off the original Mac Mini\u2019s box at Macworld 2005.<\/em><\/figcaption><cite class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup inline not-italic text-gray-63 dark:text-gray-bd [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-63 [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-bd dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-gray [&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-63 dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:text-gray-bd dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray\">Photo by Justin Sullivan\/Getty Images<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">Instead, it\u2019ll likely be the most visually impressive example yet of what Apple is capable of in this new era, where the incredible efficiency of its chips allows for all sorts of hardware designs that were technically unfeasible a handful of years ago. I haven\u2019t been this excited about a new Mac since the phenomenal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/22751921\/apple-macbook-pro-14-16-inch-2021-m1-pro-max-review\">M1 Pro and M1 Max MacBook Pros<\/a> were released in 2021.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">Gurman has said the 2024 Mac Mini \u2014 at least the M4 Pro variant \u2014 will include a total of five USB-C ports, with two on the front of the machine. I consider that frontside I\/O to be a godsend after years of having to turn the Mini around to plug anything in \u2014 or just guessing at it. It\u2019ll still have an HDMI port for those of you who\u2019ve integrated Apple\u2019s smallest Mac into their home theater setup. USB-A is said to be a goner, but&#8230; it\u2019s time. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">Within the Mac family, the Mini still holds an important spot. The iMac is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/22440059\/apple-imac-m1-2021-24-review\">visual stunner<\/a>; the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/23949207\/apple-macbook-pro-16-m3-max-review-price-specs\">MacBook Pro<\/a> delivers tremendous power on the go; and the Mac Pro and Mac Studio are both geared at professionals and creatives. But the Mini remains the line\u2019s unassuming over-performer at a compelling price for anyone who wants a Mac that \u201cjust works.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">No matter its size, the Mini\u2019s BYODKM is remains one of its best attributes. Apple might not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2023\/11\/6\/23947196\/apple-no-27-inch-apple-silicon-imac\">be planning a 27-inch iMac<\/a>, but we\u2019re about to have an astonishingly-compact desktop that can be paired with any screen you want. And the software outlook is also excellent: the revamped Mini arrives shortly after macOS Sequoia, which added useful features like iPhone Mirroring and (long overdue) window tiling.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">It\u2019ll take some kind of colossal, unforeseen dealbreaker for me not to immediate preorder the M4 Mac Mini as my new at-home machine. If I\u2019ve got one concern, it\u2019s that Apple will find some way of artificially holding the Mini back so as not to steal too much thunder from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/23762570\/apple-mac-studio-m2-ultra-2023-review\">the Mac Studio<\/a>. But I don\u2019t think that\u2019ll be the case \u2014 at least not to an egregious degree, anyway. As of now, the Studio easily wins out in CPU and GPU performance, and it has other bonuses like an SD card slot and faster ethernet. I\u2019d expect those advantages to remain true whenever the M4 model arrives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">Apple\u2019s Mac portfolio has never been on a better path. And for those who\u2019ve stuck with the company\u2019s products for decades, that can <em>still<\/em> be hard to believe \u2014 even this deep into the age of Apple Silicon. We\u2019ve been through some dark days. But with a new Mac Mini that looks equal parts streaming box and miniature PC, Apple seems poised for another M-series marvel and feather in its cap.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2024\/10\/27\/24278827\/apple-mac-mini-m4-redesign-preview\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When the Mac Mini was first introduced in early 2005, it was pitched as a compact, \u201cstripped down\u201d desktop \u2014 and the most affordable Mac in Apple\u2019s lineup.
