The desktop that fits in your palm—but runs like a beast!

The 2024 Mac mini is Apple’s boldest redesign of its tiny desktop yet—smaller, faster, and greener than ever. Measuring just 5 × 5 inches, it’s less than half the footprint of the last model but packs desktop-class performance that rivals much larger machines.

At the heart of the new Mac mini are Apple’s M4 and M4 Pro chips. The standard M4 features a 10-core CPU, 10-core GPU with hardware-accelerated ray tracing, and a 16-core Neural Engine, making it perfect for creators, gamers, and professionals. Step up to the M4 Pro, and you get up to a 14-core CPU, 20-core GPU, and support for up to 64 GB of unified memory—ideal for those with heavier workloads.

Performance benchmarks speak for themselves: music producers can run 2.8× more plugins in Logic Pro, gamers see over 13× faster graphics performance in titles like WoW: The War Within, and image upscaling tasks complete 33× faster than on older Intel-based models.

Connectivity has also leveled up. The Mac mini includes front USB-C ports, Thunderbolt 4 or 5 (depending on the chip), HDMI, Ethernet (with a 10Gb upgrade option), and support for up to three external displays. For a machine this small, that’s impressive flexibility.

And all this power doesn’t come at a premium price. Starting at just 55,990 RS, the Mac mini is the most affordable way to experience Apple Silicon, with 16 GB of unified memory included as standard.

It’s also Apple’s first carbon-neutral Mac, reducing greenhouse gas emissions across its lifecycle by more than 80%.

Final Word

If you’re looking for a compact, future-proof desktop that blends raw performance with energy efficiency, the 2024 Mac mini is easily one of the best value computers you can buy today.
