In the world of technology, small sizes often do not mean low performance, and the new Mac mini from Apple is a prime example of this.

In the world of technology, small sizes often do not mean low performance, and the new Mac mini from Apple is a prime example of this. The company has introduced its most compact desktop computer, which easily fits in the palm of your hand.

The new Mac mini measures just 5 inches by 5 inches, which is less than half the size of the previous model. Despite its modest dimensions, this little powerhouse is equipped with Apple's latest processors—the M4 and M4 Pro. These chips provide a significant performance boost compared to the M2 and M2 Pro used in previous models.

According to John Ternus, Apple's senior vice president of hardware engineering, the new Mac mini "delivers gigantic performance in an unbelievably compact design." Compared to the M1 model from 2020, the new Mac mini shows impressive statistics: "1.8 times faster CPU and 2.2 times faster GPU." This means you get a truly powerful computer in a miniature format.

The new Mac mini models come with 16GB of RAM, which is double the amount in previous generations. The Mac mini with M4 features a 10-core CPU and a 10-core GPU, while the M4 Pro model can be configured with up to 20 GPU cores and 14 CPU cores. This allows you to run demanding applications and games with maximum efficiency.

With the introduction of hardware-accelerated ray tracing, the new Mac mini has become a great option for gamers. The connectivity options have also been updated: a headphone jack for high-impedance headphones has been added, which will be appealing to musicians and producers. The device features five USB-C ports, including three on the back and two on the front, making access easier.

The new Mac mini supports up to two 6K displays and one 5K display with the M4 processor, while the M4 Pro version supports up to three 6K displays. This allows for the creation of fully functional workstations, perfect for both creativity and entertainment.
