Apple’s M4 Mac mini sports all-new thermal design for maximum performance
Apple has unveiled a significantly redesigned Mac mini, featuring a compact form factor that’s over two inches smaller than its predecessor. Despite its reduced size, the new Mac mini boasts Apple’s powerful M-series chips, including the latest M4 Pro.

The foot of the ‌Mac mini‌ allows it to pull in air from the surrounding environment, and the air is able to circulate throughout before being vented back out through the bottom foot.
Apple says that air is guided to each level of the system, and that combined with the power efficiency of the M4 chips, the ‌Mac mini‌ can “breeze through intensive workloads at outrageous speeds.”
The M4 Pro hasn’t been benchmarked yet, but it has a 14-core CPU and up to a 20-core GPU, which is up to twice as powerful as the M4 GPU.
