The M4 Mac mini earned this past fall, impressing us with how much power it packs into its tiny frame. Engadget’s Devindra Hardawar wrote at the time, “The Mac mini was the fastest computer I’ve reviewed this year, at least when it comes to CPU benchmarks.” That it starts at 16GB of RAM (as is ) is a big plus, and in addition to the connections on the back, it has some useful front ports: two USB-C ports and a headphone jack.
The M4 Mac mini’s diminutive size means you won’t have to sacrifice much desk space for it, but it’ll still be powerful enough for tasks like light video editing and some gaming. Devindra wrote that “the Mac mini impressed me by running Lies of P in 1,440p with maxed out graphics settings at 60fps,” along with Resident Evil 4 and No Man’s Sky, which “also held a steady 60 fps in 1,440p.”
