Two days ago, Apple introduced the vibrant new iMac with M4 and Apple Intelligence. Today, Apple delights us again with another launch: the new Mac mini. This compact device, featuring the new M4 and M4 Pro chips, redefines efficiency in its category and also marks an important environmental milestone: the first carbon-neutral Mac. Let’s take a closer look at the new features.
2024 Mac mini: M4 and M4 Pro Chips at the Heart of Performance
The new Mac mini is a small masterpiece. Equipped with Apple's M4 and M4 Pro chips, designed to maximize efficiency and performance, and with an impressively compact size of just 5 inches on each side, this device can deliver up to 1.8 times more CPU performance and 2.2 times more GPU performance than its predecessor.
The incorporation of the M4 Pro chip allows the Mac mini to handle even more demanding workloads, thanks to its CPU of up to 14 cores and a GPU of up to 20 cores that supports hardware-accelerated ray tracing.
Versatility in Connectivity and Display
Beyond its internal power in an extremely small body, the new Apple Mac mini stands out for its versatility in connectivity options. All models feature ports on both the front and back. The M4 Pro model includes up to three Thunderbolt 5 ports, offering data transfer speeds of up to 120 Gb/s. This translates to greater efficiency for the use of external storage and the simultaneous connection of multiple accessories.
Additionally, the entry-level models with the M4 chip can support up to two 6K displays and up to one 5K display. And the new Mac mini with M4 Pro can support up to three 6K displays at 60 Hz for a total of over 60 million pixels.
A Renewed Commitment to the Environment
Apple has not only improved the performance of its iconic Mac mini but has also reinforced its commitment to sustainability. Establishing itself as the first carbon-neutral Mac, this new model uses recycled materials and is manufactured with 100% renewable electricity. Additionally, Apple has offset the remaining emissions through high-quality carbon credits, as it has already achieved with the Apple Watch Series 10.
2024 Mac mini: Pricing and Availability
The new Mac mini is available for pre-order starting today and will be available in stores from Friday, November 8. Prices start at $599 and go up to $ 1,399 for the most powerful version.
With its compact design, exceptional performance, and environmental responsibility, the Mac mini positions itself as an excellent desktop option for a wide range of users. The smallest of the Macs is now even better: 20 times more compact but 6 times faster.
