Mac mini M4 2024 CTO
The smallest and best Mac mini in history – meet the Mac mini with the Apple M4 chip. The M4 chip, with its 10-core CPU, 10-core GPU, and 16-core Neural Engine for AI acceleration, delivers performance that just a few years ago was exclusive to premium desktop computers. Now, it fits under your monitor and uses less power than a lightbulb. The 16GB of unified memory with 120GB/s bandwidth and a lightning-fast 2TB SSD ensure that applications like Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Excel, or Final Cut Pro respond instantly – no waiting, no stuttering, no compromises. For the first time in Mac mini history, it adds front-facing USB-C ports and an audio jack right where you need them, while three Thunderbolt 4 ports on the back open up the possibility of connecting up to three independent displays simultaneously, including 8K output via HDMI. All of this is packed into a 12.7×12.7×5.0cm body, running macOS with Apple Intelligence – an operating system that thinks along with you.

Apple M4 rewrites the rules of compact computer performance
The Apple M4 chip isn't just an evolution; it's a fundamental rewrite of what a compact computer can do. The ten-core CPU, with its combination of 4 performance and 6 efficiency cores, intelligently allocates workload based on current needs. The performance cores fully engage for demanding rendering or video editing, while the efficiency cores quietly handle web browsing or document work. The ten-core GPU with hardware-accelerated ray tracing ensures smooth visuals even when working with graphically intensive content, and the sixteen-core Neural Engine, with 120GB/s unified memory bandwidth, powers Apple Intelligence features from smart writing and summarisation to image generation directly on the device, without sending data to the cloud.
Three independent displays and a limitless workspace
The Mac mini M4 supports connecting up to three independent displays at once, each with exceptional resolution. Two displays at up to 6K resolution at 60Hz via Thunderbolt 4 and one display via HDMI at up to 8K resolution at 60Hz or 4K at 240Hz open up a workspace that adapts to any professional scenario, from video editing and graphic design to software development with many windows open at once.
macOS and Apple Intelligence as a whole that just works
macOS provides a sophisticated environment that naturally adapts to any workflow. From smart window arrangement and the powerful Safari browser to deep integration with other Apple devices. Apple Intelligence adds a layer of personal AI directly into the system, assisting with writing, summarising, generating images, or replying to messages, all with a focus on the privacy that Apple puts first. Copy text on your iPhone and instantly paste it on your Mac, take FaceTime calls, or send messages via iMessage. The Apple ecosystem works as a single entity without needing any setup.
Connectors front and back, right where you need them
For the first time, the Mac mini M4 brings ports directly to the front, where they're truly within reach. Two USB-C ports with speeds up to 10Gb/s and a 3.5mm audio jack ensure instant accessory connection without reaching behind the monitor or twisting cables. On the back, you'll find three Thunderbolt 4 ports with speeds up to 40Gb/s for connecting displays, external storage, or docking stations, an HDMI port supporting up to 8K at 60Hz or 4K at 240Hz, and Gigabit Ethernet.
Build the perfect setup around the Mac mini M4
The Mac mini is supplied without a display, keyboard, or mouse, giving you the freedom to build a workspace that perfectly suits your needs and taste. For the ultimate visual experience, a 4K or 5K monitor is a natural match for the M4 chip, making full use of the ten-core GPU's graphics performance. An Apple Studio Display or Pro Display XDR are the natural choices for demanding creatives, but high-quality 4K monitors will also serve you brilliantly. For control, we recommend the Magic Keyboard with Touch ID for convenient and secure login via fingerprint, and the Magic Mouse or Magic Trackpad for intuitive control of macOS gestures, which are truly exceptional on the trackpad. If you plan on making video calls, a webcam is not included, so it's worth investing in a quality external Full HD or 4K camera.
