Apple’s Mac Mini Could Get Its Biggest Design Upgrade With M4 Chipset This Year

Apple is going to push the levels of the Mac Mini for the first since Tim Cook has been at the helm of the company. Reports this week claim that the new M4-powered Mac Mini will be its smallest portable PC in the market that will also offer the new Apple Intelligence (AI) features.

The last Mac Mini design overhaul was done in 2010 and it seems Apple has been happy for the last 14 years with its looks. But we are glad to hear that the Mini is getting a refresh, a much-needed one, and doubled up with the latest AI tech and hardware to run them. The size of the Mac Mini coming down is likely because of the new M4 architecture that seems to have shrunk further from the M3 series of silicone.

So, how small can the Mac Mini get with its rumoured launch this year? The report claims Apple wants to make it as small as the Apple TV set-top-box. The new model is expected to come with an aluminium shell, have three USB C ports along with the power point and the HDMI port which lets you connect the Mini to the external display.
