Apple has introduced the new Mac mini, now powered by M4 and M4 Pro chips, featuring a redesign that maximizes performance in a more compact, 5×5-inch form factor. The M4 chip provides up to 1.8x faster CPU performance and 2.2x faster GPU performance compared to the M1 model, while the M4 Pro extends these capabilities for handling more intensive tasks.
For enhanced connectivity, the Mac mini includes both front and back ports, and, on the M4 Pro model, adds Thunderbolt 5 for faster data transfers. The new Mac mini is also designed to integrate with Apple Intelligence, a feature that redefines work, communication, and creative expression, while prioritizing user privacy.
This model marks a significant environmental achievement as Apple’s first carbon-neutral Mac, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by over 80% through sustainable materials, manufacturing, transportation, and energy-efficient use.
Starting at $599 with 16GB of memory, the new Mac mini is available for pre-order today, October 29, on apple.com/store and in the Apple Store app across 28 countries, including the U.S. It will arrive in stores and reach customers by November 8. The M4 model is priced at $599 ($499 for education), while the M4 Pro starts at $1,399 ($1,299 for education).
