Compact dimensions are the first thing you notice about the new product. Last year’s Mac mini had a footprint of 19.7 x 19.7 cm, but this year’s generation managed to squeeze all the components into a body measuring only 12.7 x 12.7 cm.
In one breath, it is appropriate to add that the set has grown slightly in height – from last year’s 3.58 cm to 5 cm, but even so the more compact dimensions of the new product are evident. It is also noticeable when looking at the weight. While the predecessor weighed 1.28 kg, in the case of this year’s model it is only 0.67 kg (for the basic version).

Artificial intelligence, high performance
The compactness of the new product is truly breathtaking, especially considering how powerful components have been squeezed into the inside of the device. The Mac mini can be equipped with the latest M4 and M4 Pro chips, which is essentially the fastest computer architecture that Apple currently offers.
“Mac mini with M4 has up to 1.8 times faster CPU and up to 2.2 times faster GPU than the model with M1 chip. M4 Pro is based on the advanced technologies of the M4 chip and scales them for even more demanding tasks and tasks,” representatives of the American technology giant presented the news.
Despite the more compact dimensions, unlike its predecessor, it was possible to fit connectors on the front, namely two USB-C ports and a headphone jack (3.5 mm jack). At the same time, last year’s version had all the connectors only at the back, which was not always convenient. For the design with the M4 Pro chip, we also encounter the Thunderbolt 5 interface for faster data transfers for the first time.

Delightfully Compact: The New Apple Mac Mini
Well, hold onto your hats, folks! If you thought last year’s Mac mini was mini, wait till you see this year’s model! It’s like the product went on a diet and got a little too skinny, but don’t worry—it still packs quite a punch! With dimensions dropping from 19.7 x 19.7 cm to a mere 12.7 x 12.7 cm, it’s practically lost half its weight in gossip!
Compact and Full of Power
Now, we’ve upped the height a smidge, from 3.58 cm to 5 cm, which is like wearing a high haircut—still compact but with a puff of attitude. And speaking of weight, it’s gone from 1.28 kg to just 0.67 kg! Hold on, are we sure that’s a computer and not an elaborate paperweight?
Dare I say, this compactness is more than a superficial glow-up. Inside, it’s a tech powerhouse! The new Mac mini boasts either the latest M4 or M4 Pro chips, allowing users to zip through tasks at mind-boggling speeds. It’s like giving a cheetah a double espresso—up to 1.8 times faster CPU and 2.2 times faster GPU compared to its former self! Talk about speed!
Connect with Ease
And here’s a plot twist! Now you can actually reach those ports without flipping the machine over like a pancake! Two shiny USB-C ports and a classic 3.5 mm headphone jack are strategically placed on the front, a move that screams “I care about your convenience!” Because let’s face it, we’ll all be tangled in wires anyway—might as well make it easier to plug in!
And just when you thought it couldn’t get better, the Thunderbolt 5 interface is jumping in for faster transfers. Think of it as a freeway for data—no speed limits here!
Eco-Friendly Brilliance
With all that horsepower, you’d think it might be a gas guzzler, but no! Apple claims this Mac mini is the first desktop with a bitten apple logo that is carbon neutral. Yes, folks, it’s not just a pretty face; it’s saving Mother Earth one pixel at a time, slashing greenhouse gas emissions by more than 80%! Someone call Greta Thunberg!
The Price of Progress
Now, let’s talk dollars and sense. The base model kicks off at CZK 17,490, which gives you an M4 chip, 16GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. Pre-orders are up and running, so don’t just sit there like a stunned mullet; get in line and claim yours before they disappear faster than the last biscuit at a tea party!
A Flood of Exciting News
But wait, there’s more! Apple isn’t stopping at the Mac mini. The all-new iMac is also setting sail with the coveted M4 chip, and the price starts at CZK 39,990. They’ve rolled out the red carpet and the tech community is bustling with excitement.
As part of what they call the “week of announcements,” we’re in for a treat with new reveals every weekday. Will we be graced with a new MacBook Pro? Or perhaps a device that makes toast? Who knows! But one thing’s for sure: Apple seems to be on a roll, and we’re all here for the ride.
So, stay tuned folks! The tech world moves fast, and I can only imagine what Apple will cook up next. In the meantime, keep your eyes peeled on Novinky.cz for all the juicy updates!
The most striking aspect of the new Apple Mac mini is its remarkably compact dimensions. In contrast to last year’s model, which had a square footprint of 19.7 x 19.7 cm, the latest generation has reduced its size significantly to just 12.7 x 12.7 cm, making it an impressively small yet powerful device.
In related details, while the overall footprint has decreased, the new Mac mini is slightly taller than its predecessor, increasing from 3.58 cm to 5 cm. Nonetheless, the efficiency in design is evident in its proportionately lighter weight; last year’s model tipped the scales at 1.28 kg, whereas this year’s variant weighs a mere 0.67 kg in its base configuration.
