Apple still excels at building the best computers

Apple on Tuesday introduced a new generation of Mac mini, and it’s impressively compact — and much smaller than its predecessor. But the new Mac mini isn’t just about a new design, it’s also about incredible engineering. It shows how Apple still excels at building the best computers.

I’ve been a Mac user for a long time, and… Mac mini He’s always looked cool to me. Something ahead of its time. I’ve always been amazed at how Apple was able to fit an entire computer into a small package, given the limitations of the time.

For a while, the Mac family fell on hard times (I’m looking at you, butterfly keyboard). But things seem to be back on track, especially after switching to Apple Silicon Macs. The company promised that moving to its own chips would open up a new world of possibilities for Macs, and now we’re seeing it.

The M4 Mac mini is one of the most impressive computers Apple has ever made

The new M4 Mac mini is the culmination of many technologies that Apple has introduced in recent years. I remember years ago dreaming of a Mac mini the size of a Mac Apple TV. Now we kind of have that. Best of all: it doesn’t come without any compromises.

In the past, owning an ultra-portable machine usually meant you were giving up something in return. But the M4 Mac mini is not only the smallest desktop computer Apple has ever offered, but it’s also a very powerful machine. For example, The M4 core chip has a faster CPU than the M2 Max In the latest version of Mac Studio. The M4 Pro is more powerful.

We’re talking about a computer that’s roughly the size of a PC Apple TV Capable of displaying 8K videos and playing console-level games using ray tracing.

But I’m also happy to see Apple adding more value to the Mac and also giving users what they want. The Mac mini now comes with 16GB of RAM as standard, and it also has a range of ports, including USB-C, Thunderbolt, Ethernet and HDMI.

But that’s what makes the Mac mini an easy choice, and perhaps one of the best: the price. With all these promotions, Apple still sells it for the same price as the previous generation of $599. It’s hard not to recommend the Mac mini to anyone who already has a desktop setup at home. It’s powerful, stylish, compact, and at a great price.

To me, the new Mac mini shows the essence of Apple at its best. I really hope the company continues to follow this path for its future products. What about you? What are your thoughts on the new Mac mini? Let me know in the comments section below.
