Our take on the Apple Mac mini M4 10-Core CPU 16GB RAM 256GB SSD

The Mac mini M4 is Apple's smallest desktop, a 5-by-5-inch square that runs the 10-core M4 chip with 16GB of unified memory and a 256GB SSD. It has front USB-C ports and a headphone jack, with Thunderbolt, HDMI and Gigabit Ethernet on the back. Reviewers call it the best value in Apple's desktop line: fast for everyday work, photo editing and coding, and quiet under load. It suits people who already own a monitor, keyboard and mouse, since none are included. Against Windows mini PCs it costs more per gigabyte of storage and RAM, but it runs macOS and Apple Intelligence and stays near-silent.

Questions and answers

Is the Mac mini M4 worth it over the M2 model?
Yes for most buyers. The M4 is noticeably faster, has front USB-C ports and a smaller body. The M2 is still fine for basic web and office work if you find it.
Do I need to buy a monitor and keyboard?
Yes. The box has the Mac mini and a power cord only. You supply a monitor, keyboard and mouse, though most USB and Bluetooth peripherals work.
Can I upgrade the RAM or storage later?
No. Memory and SSD are soldered, so choose 24GB or 32GB and a larger SSD up front if you expect heavy use.
How many ports does it have?
Two USB-C ports and a headphone jack on the front, plus Thunderbolt, HDMI and Gigabit Ethernet on the back. The M4 Pro version adds more Thunderbolt ports.
Is 256GB enough storage?
For light use with cloud storage, yes. For photo libraries, video editing or many large apps, pick a larger SSD or plan on external drives.
Does it run Windows apps?
Not natively. macOS runs Microsoft Excel, Photoshop and Zoom, but Windows-only software needs a virtual machine or a Windows PC.
