Highlights
- Key Specs
- Processor Model: Apple M4 (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): 16 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 10-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.)

The New Mac Mini M4 is AMAZING! Fast and Smooth!
I have been a full-time Mac user since 2014 when I started developing iOS apps. I''ve used MacBook Pros until now. After reading the specs and reviews, I decided to get the new Mac Mini. I paired it with the blue tooth keyboard and magic mouse that are both almost 10 years old themselves. I do photo editing, so bought a ProArt monitor. Perfect combination. This "desktop" computer is amazing. I got the 16GB / 512GB SSD. Its fast and I can run all of my applications on it to include Adobe Suite, Microsoft, and XCode. They load quickly and smoothly. I highly recommend the Mac Mini. The price point beats most other desktops with the same specs and it out performs.

Mighty little one.
It was surprisingly easy to transfer my data. I just wish I would've purchased the 1tb. Oh and I love how small it is. It fits nicely and unobtrusively on my small desk.
