On previous generation models, the power button was located on the back of the machine with the other ports. On the new Mac mini, however, the power button is located on the bottom of the device.<\/p>\n<p>This means you\u2019ll have to flip your Mac mini over (or reach underneath it) should you need turn it on or off. Not a big deal whatsoever, but worth keeping in mind.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1574\" height=\"1322\" src=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/mac-mini-power-button.jpeg?quality=82&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-975908\" srcset=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/mac-mini-power-button.jpeg 1574w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/mac-mini-power-button.jpeg?resize=155,130 155w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/mac-mini-power-button.jpeg?resize=655,550 655w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/mac-mini-power-button.jpeg?resize=768,645 768w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/mac-mini-power-button.jpeg?resize=1024,860 1024w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/mac-mini-power-button.jpeg?resize=1536,1290 1536w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/mac-mini-power-button.jpeg?resize=350,294 350w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/mac-mini-power-button.jpeg?resize=140,118 140w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/mac-mini-power-button.jpeg?resize=1191,1000 1191w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/mac-mini-power-button.jpeg?resize=150,126 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1574px) 100vw, 1574px\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-external-display-support\">External display support<\/h2>\n<p>Apple has also made an improvement to the Mac mini\u2019s support for external display connectivity. Specifically, the M4 Pro version of the Mac mini supports up to three external 6K displays with a 60Hz refresh rate. The previous generation M2 Pro Mac mini supported two external 6K displays at 60Hz and one 4K 60Hz display.<\/p>\n<p><strong>M4 Mac mini:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Up to three displays: Two displays with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz over Thunderbolt and one display with up to 5K resolution at 60Hz over Thunderbolt or 4K resolution at 60Hz over HDMI<\/li>\n<li>Up to two displays: One display with up to 5K resolution at 60Hz over Thunderbolt and one display with up to 8K resolution at 60Hz or 4K resolution at 240Hz over Thunderbolt or HDMI<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>M4 Pro Mac mini:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Up to three displays: Three displays with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz over Thunderbolt or HDMI<\/li>\n<li>Up to two displays: One display with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz over Thunderbolt and one display with up to 8K resolution at 60Hz or 4K resolution at 240Hz over Thunderbolt or HDMI<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dimensions\">Dimensions<\/h2>\n<p>One of the big changes with the M4 Mac mini is its all-new design, which is drastically smaller than before.
