The Apple Mac mini with M4 chip packs a 10-core processor and unified memory starting at 16GB into a compact desktop body with a footprint of just 5 inches, delivering high performance in a small space on your desk. Built around Apple silicon, the Mac mini M4 handles everyday and creative tasks smoothly, from running dozens of apps at once to editing video, producing music, and writing and compiling code. The chip pairs a 10-core GPU with a 16-core Neural Engine to accelerate on-device AI tasks, alongside a dedicated media engine that supports ProRes encode and decode and AV1 decode. The redesigned body brings two USB-C ports and a headphone jack to the front for the first time, while the back hosts a port array that includes Thunderbolt 4, HDMI, and Ethernet. The Mac mini runs macOS and is the first carbon neutral Mac, with quiet operation rated at 5 decibels at idle. Apple Mac mini M4 Key Features: 10-core Apple M4 chip for everyday and creative workThe chip combines a 10-core CPU (four performance cores and six efficiency cores) with a 10-core GPU and 120GB/s of memory bandwidth. This mix is enough to move between productivity apps, video editing projects, and coding without noticeable slowdown. 16-core Neural Engine ready for Apple IntelligenceThe Neural Engine accelerates AI tasks running locally on the device, supporting Apple Intelligence features for writing, expression, and getting things done while keeping your data private. Compact desktop design with a 5-inch footprintThe Mac mini comes in a sleek square body measuring 12.7 × 12.7 cm, 5 cm tall, and weighing just 0.67 kg, so it fits in any corner of your desk or behind a display. Front and back ports for easier accessFor the first time on a Mac mini, the design places two USB-C ports at up to 10Gb per second and a 3.5mm headphone jack on the front, while the back carries three Thunderbolt 4 ports at up to 40Gb per second, an HDMI port, and a Gigabit Ethernet port configurable up to 10Gb per second. Support for up to three external displaysThe Mac mini drives up to three displays at once: two at up to 6K resolution at 60Hz over Thunderbolt and a third at 5K at 60Hz, or one display over HDMI at up to 8K at 60Hz or 4K at 240Hz. Media engine for professional video editingThe media engine handles hardware-accelerated encode and decode for H.264, HEVC, ProRes, and ProRes RAW, plus AV1 decode, easing the load on the processor during video editing and playback. Unified memory starting at 16GBThe unified memory provides 16GB in the base configuration, configurable up to 24GB at purchase, and is shared across the CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine to improve efficiency. Fast wireless and wired connectivityThe Mac mini supports Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 for wireless connections, plus a wired Ethernet port for a stable, consistent network connection. Quiet operation and sustainable designThe Mac mini M4 runs at 5 decibels at idle and is the first carbon neutral Mac, using recycled materials in its enclosure and components.
