Highlights
- Key Specs
- Processor Model: Apple M4 Pro (Your computer's processor is like its brain. Working in combination with system memory, the power of the processor determines the complexity of software you can run, how many programs you can have open at the same time, and how fast those programs will run. Most computers feature an AMD, Intel or Snapdragon processor.)
- Storage Type: SSD
- Total Storage Capacity: 512 gigabytes
- System Memory (RAM): 24 gigabytes (Random-access memory (RAM) is a computing device's short-term data storage, which allows active information to be accessed quickly. The size and type of RAM determines how efficiently the device can handle large amounts of information at one time. For example, gaming or video editing requires more RAM for optimal performance.)
- Graphics Type: Integrated (Dedicated graphics uses a separate graphics card for processing video images. Because it does not use memory from the system's RAM, there is no extra burden on the CPU and graphics are processed more efficiently. Integrated graphics shares system RAM to process video images.)
- Graphics: Apple M4 Pro 16-core (Often referred to as a "graphics processing unit" (GPU), this device is responsible for displaying image content and decoding/encoding video content in programs and games.)

A: This Mac mini has 3 Thunderbolt ports.
Q: What kind of wireless connectivity does this Mac mini offer?
A: This Mac mini comes with Wi-Fi connectivity.
Q: Does this have wireless WiFi can I hook up 2 monitors to it?
A: Yes, you can hoop up 2 monitors. I had 2 monitors set up - horizontal (landscape) and side by side. with my old Mac Mini so it was an easy move to do it with the new M4. I've seen some set ups where there is a mix of portrait and landscape. I've not tried that. This does have wireless WiFi. It also is capable of using 6 and 6E WiFi if you have routers that support that. I just ordered an Ethernet splitter (for VOIP phone lines I have) so that I can use one Ethernet port on my modem for the Mac Mini M4 to take full advantage of the speed boost possible with 6 and 6E WiFi. These are optional. The M4 chip can support up to THREE monitors, if that's what you want. Not Depending on which peripherals you want to add, you may need an expansion hub. Since the M4 only has one HDMI port, you will need an expansion hub to have two or three monitors. I just picked the photo of the 3 monitor set up from the internet for illustration purposes. Best of luck with whatever you decide!

A Little Powerhouse!
The M4 Pro is an upgrade from my previous M2 Pro and so far I can say that I'm very impressed with the new model. The size is tiny compared to the M2 model but very quick and is in fact more powerful than the M2 Pro. That's not to say there aren't some challenges in getting it. First, there are no USB-A ports, they're gone. If you have legacy equipment that use USB-A ports then you will either have to use a hub or use an adapter. I bought an adapter for my Apple SuperDrive so that it can connect directly to the Mini which is the only way it'll work. Second, I have a HD, a webcam and a printer that need USB-A ports. I have 2 HUBs that have internal storage made for the M2 Mac Mini but are still usable with the M4 Mac Mini. Everything works just as it should. All in all I'm very pleased with the new M4 Mac mini. For my needs it is overkill but that also means I won't feel the need to upgrade for a very long time, if ever.

Quiet Beast for Creative Work
The Mac Mini M4 Pro is straight-up a sleeper powerhouse. As a comedian who also edits video, records podcasts, and manages a bunch of projects, this thing handles it all without breaking a sweat. Final Cut Pro runs like a dream — even with multiple camera angles, effects, and audio tweaks happening at once. It chews through exports like it’s bored. The best part? It’s dead silent. No fans kicking in, no heat pumping out — just smooth, quiet performance. That matters when I’m recording voiceovers or working late at night and don’t want a jet engine on my desk. I pair it with my Sony ZV-1 and an ATEM Mini or use OBS with a plug-in that records each source separately, and it handles all that without flinching. No hiccups, no lag, just clean workflow from start to finish. If you want desktop-level power without the bulk or the Mac Studio price tag, the M4 Mac Mini is a no-brainer. It’s compact, cool, and crazy fast — perfect for content creators, performers, or anyone who needs pro tools in a clean setup.

For music production
Switched from using a Windows based (Core I9/RTX 3080) to this for music production. Absolutely awesome machine. No noise at all. Handles everything perfectly.
