Apple updates the Mac mini with a much smaller design, M4 or M4 Pro, two front-facing USB-C ports, up to 64GB of RAM, and more, shipping November 8 for $599+

As part of the company's week of Mac-focused announcements, Apple has just introduced a smaller, yet even more powerful Mac Mini.

    @MaxWinebach Mac mini with M4 is priced at $479 in 5-pack configurations for EDU customers — again incredible!

    In case people were wondering why Apple keeps bringing up performance comparisons to Intel Macs, it is because roughly ~50% of the Macs still in use (Mac installed base) are Intel based Macs. I know, shocking.

    The new Mac Mini may be one of the more interesing Macs this go around. It's not an accident it looks like a mini Mac Studio. Also, M4 Pro is a significant step up from prior years going to 10 P cores and 4 E cores. M4 Pro: - Features a 14-core CPU for increased [image]

    Want to trade in your PC—any PC—to get a new Mac mini? Apple is offering awesome trade-in values. Cough. [image]

    Day 2 of Apple's Mac week. A completely redesigned (and much smaller) Mac mini. Remains at $599 ($499 for education). And a M4 Pro chip. [image]

    Interesting choice. The power button is on the bottom of the new Mac mini. And if you place it on the right side of your monitor, the stand will block access. Granted, you'll likely only press that button 5 times or less over its lifetime, but still [image]

    There it is! Apple just announced new redesigned 5" x 5" Mac Mini with M4/M4 Pro chips. Here's how the two compare... FEATURES ✨Mac Mini with M4 chip • 10-core CPU, up to 1.8x faster than M1 • 10-core, GPU up to 2.2 faster than M1 • 16GB RAM • Up to 8TB SSD (base is 256GB) [image…

    As predicted last night, the M4 Pro Mac mini starts with 24GB of RAM!!! This confirms that it uses 4 Memory chips. 6GB x 4 chips = 24GB of RAM at a minimum. They DID increase the price by $100, but I think the upgrades are WELL worth it! [image]

    The new Mac mini has quite the pricing swing. $599 to $4499. Pretty hefty specs for a Mac mini too [image]
  • @zollotech Aaron Zollo on x
    The new Mac mini has Thunderbolt 5. Yesterday's iMac M4 said it had 4K 120, but then they changed it. However with Thunderbolt 5 we should be able to do 8K 120. New 8K Pro Display next?
  • @aaronp613 Aaron on x
    The M4 Mac mini has Thunderbolt 5! [image]
  • @maxwinebach Max Weinbach on x
    Also M4 Pro! • 14-core CPU (10 performance/4 efficiency) • 20-core GPU (2x M4) • 75% more memory bandwidth vs last gen • 2x bandwidth of latest AI PCs • Neural engine 3x faster (38 TOPS)

    Apple's teardown of the M4 Mac mini showing the cooling system. DANG that's impressive! No wonder it can be so small and cool the M4 Pro chip SO well! [video]

    blows my mind that so many people are still using Intel Macs, I guess I can understand it in corporate environments with tight budgets, but personal use is mind boggling - the last few Intel Macs felt slow when they were new!

    2,199.00 for the m4 pro mac mini with 64gb of unified memory thunderbolt data transfer rate is 40gbps between them, that would be the limiting factor right? so 256 gb with 40gbps between each node, and each node has 273GB/s. 8.8k
  • @yacinemtb Kache on x
    “M4 Pro supports up to 64GB of unified memory and 273GB/s of memory bandwidth”
  • @vadimyuryev Vadim Yuryev on x
    BET: The 14-core M4 Pro chip is going to outperform the 16-core M3 Max. This Mac mini update is BLOWING my Mind!
  • @vadimyuryev Vadim Yuryev on x
    HOLY SMOKES!!!! All of my performance predictions for the M4 Pro chip in the new Mac mini are SO WRONG! I was expecting a 14-core chip with 8 Performance cores and 6 Efficiency cores, but it's actually 10 Performance cores, so it's gonna be SO MUCH FASTER than I expected!! 🤯 [ima…

    The new M4 Pro Mac mini supports Thunderbolt 5 but Apple doesn't list a Thunderbolt 5 cable on their site. What gives Apple? [image]
