But the new Mac mini isn\u2019t just about a new design, it\u2019s also about incredible engineering. It shows how Apple still excels at building the best computers.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-975902\"\/><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been a Mac user for a long time, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4e5Y5D2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mac mini<\/a> has always seemed remarkable to me. Something ahead of its time. I was always amazed at how Apple managed to fit a full computer into a small package, given the limitations at the time.<\/p>\n<p>For a while, the Mac family had troubled times (I\u2019m looking at you, Butterfly keyboard). But things seem to be back on track, especially after the transition to Apple Silicon Macs. The company promised that the move to its own chips would open up a new world of possibilities for the Mac, and we\u2019re seeing it now.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-m4-mac-mini-is-one-of-the-most-impressive-computers-apple-has-ever-built\">The M4 Mac mini is one of the most impressive computers Apple has ever built<\/h2>\n<p>The new M4 Mac mini is the culmination of many of the technologies that Apple has introduced in recent years. I remember dreaming for years of a Mac mini that was the size of an <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3UssrsD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Apple TV<\/a>. Now we kind of have it. And the best part is: it comes with no compromises.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2738\" height=\"1612\" src=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/m4-mac-mini-vs-m2-dimensions.jpg?quality=82&amp;strip=all\" alt=\"M4 Mac mini vs M2 dimensions\" class=\"wp-image-975845\" srcset=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/m4-mac-mini-vs-m2-dimensions.jpg 2738w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/m4-mac-mini-vs-m2-dimensions.jpg?resize=155,91 155w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/m4-mac-mini-vs-m2-dimensions.jpg?resize=655,386 655w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/m4-mac-mini-vs-m2-dimensions.jpg?resize=768,452 768w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/m4-mac-mini-vs-m2-dimensions.jpg?resize=1024,603 1024w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/m4-mac-mini-vs-m2-dimensions.jpg?resize=1536,904 1536w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/m4-mac-mini-vs-m2-dimensions.jpg?resize=2048,1206 2048w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/m4-mac-mini-vs-m2-dimensions.jpg?resize=350,206 350w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/m4-mac-mini-vs-m2-dimensions.jpg?resize=130,78 130w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/m4-mac-mini-vs-m2-dimensions.jpg?resize=140,82 140w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/m4-mac-mini-vs-m2-dimensions.jpg?resize=1600,942 1600w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/m4-mac-mini-vs-m2-dimensions.jpg?resize=150,88 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2738px) 100vw, 2738px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>In the past, having a super-portable machine usually meant that you were giving up something in exchange. But the M4 Mac mini is not only the most compact desktop computer Apple has ever introduced, it\u2019s also a pretty powerful one. For instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/browser.geekbench.com\/v6\/cpu\/8171874\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the base M4 chip has a faster CPU than the M2 Max<\/a> in the latest Mac Studio. <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2024\/10\/29\/m4-pro-chip-boosts-cpu-and-gpu-performance-up-to-64-gb-ram-and-thunderbolt-5-support\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">And the M4 Pro is even more powerful<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re talking about a computer almost the size of an <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3UssrsD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Apple TV<\/a> that is capable of rendering 8K videos and running console-level games with ray-tracing.<\/p>\n<p>But I\u2019m also glad to see Apple adding more value to the Mac and also giving users what they want. The Mac mini now comes with 16GB of RAM as standard, and it also has a bunch of ports, including USB-C, Thunderbolt, Ethernet, and HDMI.<\/p>\n<p>But here\u2019s what really makes the Mac mini an easy choice, perhaps one of the best: the price. With all these upgrades, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4hmCPff\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Apple is still selling it for the same $599 as the previous generation<\/a>. It\u2019s hard not to recommend the Mac mini to anyone who already has a desktop setup at home. It\u2019s powerful, sleek, compact, and it\u2019s at a great price.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2478\" height=\"1388\" src=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/m4-mac-mini-vs-m2-external-displays.jpeg?quality=82&amp;strip=all\" alt=\"M4 Mac mini\" class=\"wp-image-975851\" srcset=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/m4-mac-mini-vs-m2-external-displays.jpeg 2478w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/m4-mac-mini-vs-m2-external-displays.jpeg?resize=155,87 155w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/m4-mac-mini-vs-m2-external-displays.jpeg?resize=655,367 655w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/m4-mac-mini-vs-m2-external-displays.jpeg?resize=768,430 768w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/m4-mac-mini-vs-m2-external-displays.jpeg?resize=1024,574 1024w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/m4-mac-mini-vs-m2-external-displays.jpeg?resize=1536,860 1536w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/m4-mac-mini-vs-m2-external-displays.jpeg?resize=2048,1147 2048w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/m4-mac-mini-vs-m2-external-displays.jpeg?resize=350,196 350w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/m4-mac-mini-vs-m2-external-displays.jpeg?resize=140,78 140w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/m4-mac-mini-vs-m2-external-displays.jpeg?resize=1600,896 1600w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/m4-mac-mini-vs-m2-external-displays.jpeg?resize=150,84 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2478px) 100vw, 2478px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>For me, the new Mac mini shows the essence of Apple at its best.
