The base model with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage has dropped to $499 from $599, saving you $100. The 16GB/512GB option offers an even bigger discount, dropping to $689 from $799.
Why Buy the Apple M4 Mac Mini
In our review, we praised the Apple M4 Mac Mini (review) for its solid and compact build. Apple gave it a smaller footprint, measuring 5 x 5 inches, for better portability and flexibility in any desktop setup. It features front-facing USB-C ports with Thunderbolt support, in addition to a rear-facing array of interfaces, including Ethernet and HDMI, for easier access when you need to plug in your peripherals and accessories. You can also attach up to three external monitors, depending on the chipset model.
Even with the notably smaller chassis, it has a very powerful and capable M4 chip. The non-pro model is configured with a 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU, which offers a major performance boost over the M2 SoC in the previous generation. You can also expect better graphics performance in gaming, thanks to the added ray-tracing and mesh shading.
Another great feature is the bigger 16GB of RAM as the default memory, which is a good thing since the Mac Mini is not upgradable. Another useful upgrade is a faster data transfer speed, which should save you time when handling hefty files.
With this setup, it can handle a variety of tasks, from web browsing and document editing to advanced tasks like video editing and 3D rendering. Despite its speedy performance, it draws much less power—just 65 watts—compared to a full desktop or laptop, and it barely makes any noise or exhibits heat when the fan is running.
