Apple Mac mini 2024 M4

When you need a desktop computer for everyday work, but the budget is tight and desk space is scarce, the new Mac mini 2024 with the M4 processor becomes an optimal solution. The 10-core M4 processor delivers performance comparable to the popular Ryzen 7 7700 and easily handles most moderately complex tasks — from video editing to application development. The base configuration starts with 16 GB of unified memory instead of the previous 8 GB.

Its 10-core GPU system ensures smooth operation of graphic applications and supports up to four external monitors simultaneously. Such capability is not available in many competitors in a similar price category. Apple positions the Mac mini 2024 as an affordable solution for video editors, coders, musicians, designers, and other creative industry workers who do not need the more powerful systems with M2 Pro and M4 Max processors.

Besides the processor, the connectivity scheme has also changed. Users now have access to three USB4 ports with Thunderbolt 4 support and two additional USB-C ports on the front. This configuration allows for connecting multiple devices simultaneously without the use of hubs, including external drives, peripherals, monitors (up to 4 at once), sound cards, and other professional equipment.

In terms of networking capabilities, they are the same as in the previous generation, featuring a gigabit LAN port and wireless receiver with Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth. Also noteworthy are the radically reduced dimensions (127x127x50 mm at a weight of 0.67 kg), which simplify PC placement: in fact, the Mac mini 2024 M4 fits in the palm of your hand and can be positioned vertically behind the monitor, horizontally under the keyboard, or even mounted on the wall.
