Cupertino (California): Apple on Tuesday introduced the all-new Mac mini, powered by the M4 and new M4 Pro chips and redesigned around Apple silicon. The mini packs an incredible amount of performance into an even smaller form, just 5 by 5 inches.
With M4, Mac mini delivers up to 1.8x faster CPU performance and 2.2x faster GPU performance over the M1 model.
With M4 Pro, the advanced technologies in M4 are scaled up to tackle even more demanding workloads.
According to Apple, it features front and back ports for more convenient connectivity, and for the first time, includes Thunderbolt 5 for faster data transfer speeds on the M4 Pro model.
The new Mac mini is also built for Apple Intelligence, the personal intelligence system that transforms how users work, communicate, and express themselves while protecting their privacy.
The new Mac mini, with 16GB of memory and starting at Rs 59,900, is available to pre-order now and will be available beginning November 8.

“The new Mac mini delivers gigantic performance in an unbelievably small design thanks to the power efficiency of Apple silicon and an innovative new thermal architecture,” said John Ternus, Apple’s senior vice president of Hardware Engineering.
“Combined with the performance of M4 and the new M4 Pro chip, enhanced connectivity on both the front and back, and the arrival of Apple Intelligence, the Mac mini is more capable and versatile than ever, and there is nothing else like it,” Ternus added.
When compared to the best-selling PC desktop in its price range, the Mac mini is up to 6x faster at one-twentieth the size.
The Mac mini with M4 is a tiny powerhouse for a wide range of users, from students to aspiring creatives and small business owners. It features a 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU and now starts with 16GB of unified memory.
“Users will feel the performance of M4 in everything they do, from multitasking across everyday productivity apps to creative projects like video editing, music production, or writing and compiling code,” said Apple.
For users who want pro-level performance, the Mac mini with M4 Pro features the world’s fastest CPU core with lightning-fast single-threaded performance.
The Neural Engine in M4 Pro is also over 3x faster than in Mac mini with M1, so on-device Apple Intelligence models run at blazing speed. M4 Pro supports up to 64GB of unified memory and 273GB/s of memory bandwidth — twice as much bandwidth as any AI PC chip — for accelerating AI workloads.
