Our take on the Apple Mac mini, M4 Chip, Built for Apple Intelligence, 10-core CPU, 10-core GPU, 16GB Unified Memory, 256GB SSD Storage

The 2024 Mac mini with the M4 chip is Apple's smallest desktop, a 5-inch square block that needs only a monitor, keyboard and mouse. The 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU with 16GB of unified memory handle everyday work, photo editing and light video work without a fan spinning up much. Its real edge over rivals is size and quiet: it beats most small Windows desktops on efficiency and macOS integration, though it trails them on upgradeability and ports. Reviewers rate it highly as the best value entry into Apple's desktop line.

Questions and answers

Is the M4 Mac mini good for video editing?
Yes for 1080p and moderate 4K editing in Final Cut Pro or Premiere. Heavy multicam or effects work will want more memory and external storage.
Can I upgrade the memory or storage later?
No. Memory is soldered and storage is not user-replaceable, so choose 24GB or 32GB and a larger SSD at purchase if you need them. External Thunderbolt drives can add storage.
What comes in the box?
The Mac mini, a power cord and Apple documentation. No monitor, keyboard or mouse is included.
How does it compare with the M2 Mac mini?
The M4 model is faster, starts with 16GB of memory instead of 8GB, and adds Thunderbolt 4 and Wi-Fi 6E. It is the better buy for most people.
How many monitors can it drive?
Up to three displays: two over Thunderbolt and one over HDMI, depending on resolution and refresh rate. Check Apple's support page for exact combinations.
Is it good for gaming?
It handles casual and Apple-optimized games, but most Windows titles run poorly or not at all. A Windows PC or console is better for serious gaming.
