Amazon Hits Mini PCs Hard, Apple's Newest Mac Mini at Record Low Price Makes Mid-Range Options Obsolete - Kotaku
"The latest Mac mini with M4 chip and 256GB SSD storage currently sells for $479 on Amazon, reduced from its $599 list price, and hits a record low that eclipses the competition just before Christmas. This newest generation shrinks the already-compact form factor down to five by five inches while packing a 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU that outperforms most desktop computers twice its size."
"The M4 chip is Apple's fourth-generation custom silicon and it has a 10-core CPU that is split into performance and efficiency cores which handle demanding tasks and background processes in a smart way. This architecture gives the Mac mini performance that is on par with Intel and AMD desktop processors, but it uses much less power. This means that the Mac mini can run quietly without the loud fan noise that comes with most desktop towers."
Mini PCs are assembled by lesser-known brands into compact, space-saving machines that prioritize form factor over brand recognition. Apple's Mac mini faces virtually no real competition in this segment and pairs iconic industrial aluminum design with robust performance and connectivity. The latest model uses the M4 chip with a 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU, 256GB SSD, and shared unified memory, delivering desktop-class performance with lower power draw and quieter operation. The compact five-by-five-inch chassis supports tasks from photo editing and 4K video work to moderate gaming, and suits minimalist desks, small apartments, and multi-monitor workstations.
