Amazon rewards the smaller Mac Mini with the M4 Pro

One small image of the new silver Mac Mini shows what appears to be a headphone jack and two front-facing USB-C ports, presumably with support for at least Thunderbolt 4. It’s available with a base or Pro version of the new M4 chipset. , with 14 CPU cores, 20 GPUs, 64GB of memory, and 8TB of storage. The back boats will remain a mystery for now.

The M4 will be a significant jump from the M2 found in the current Mac Minis, last updated in January 2023. That power boost should help with current and future Apple Intelligence processing, jumping from 15.8 TOPS to 38 TOPS according to the previous report Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.

Gurman also notes that the new mini Mini is approaching the size of an Apple TV streamer. And when you look side by side with the Mac Studio, it certainly looks smaller which should make it a more compelling Mac in terms of size and power.

The Mac Mini is rumored to get an official announcement later today with full details and pricing so stay tuned.
