The M4 Pro Mac mini is a ‘victory’
To maintain impartiality, let me declare upfront that I adore the new Mac mini. It’s a triumph – an embodiment of all the aspirations of the original Mac mini, elevated to new heights.
To maintain impartiality, let me declare upfront that I adore the new Mac mini. It’s a triumph – an embodiment of all the aspirations of the original Mac mini, elevated to new heights. Launched alongside the equally remarkable MacBook Pro, Apple’s Mac series demonstrates that, equipped with Apple Silicon internally, the corporation is excelling in its field.
What to anticipate beneath the surface
The impressive M-series processor embedded by Apple is responsible for all these capabilities, embodying the device’s extensive processor legacy spanning the company’s PowerPC chips during its initial release, the Intel era, and today’s highly efficient, low-power chips that position Apple at the forefront of the industry. There are numerous things to admire, commencing at $599 (although the M4 Pro model with a 14-core CPU, 20-core GPU, 48GB, and 1TB SSD, which was tested, commands a significantly higher price of $2,199.) While this price tag may slightly diminish the accolades, it’s unlikely to undermine them entirely.
Renowned for its exquisite design quality, the Mac mini you encounter today does not deviate significantly from its predecessors, save for its compact nature. This third major redesign stays true to its lineage – a petite all-in-one metallic enclosure crafted to complement the mouse, keyboard, and monitor you currently possess. Now standing at a mere 2 inches in height, the 5-inch-by-5-inch (100% carbon-neutral aluminum) casing remains, without question, a Mac mini.
