Apple shows off brand new Mac mini design in announcement video

Apple today unveiled the new smaller Mac mini, with M4 and M4 Pro chip options. The new Mini measures 5×5 inches square, significantly smaller than the generation it replaces.

Like with the iMac yesterday, Apple has shared an announcement video for the new machine, led by Apple SVP John Ternus. Watch it after the break …

In addition to the new chassis design, the new Mac mini is significantly faster than the previous generation. Apple skipped M3 for the Mac mini, so the previous most powerful model was powered by a M2 Pro chip.

Compared to M2 Pro, Apple says the M4 Mac mini is up to 1.6x faster on CPU and 1.5x faster on GPU.

Here’s the don’t-call-it-an-event video for the Mac mini announcement:
