The use of TSMC’s second-generation 3nm process for the M4 series has made Apple’s latest chipsets more thermally efficient, but that does not mean that a capable cooling solution should be ignored from the rest of the hardware configuration. In fact, depending on how robust that solution is, we can actually get more performance from the M4, as demonstrated in the latest Premiere Pro 4K Export test, where the redesigned Mac mini is faster than Apple’s updated 14-inch MacBook

Also, given how the headset’s production has reportedly slowed down, and with the device no longer being made by the

Apple’s Mac Mini hasn't received a meaningful design upgrade since 2010, when the first Intel systems with a unibody design were released. But after many, many iterative designs, the new Mac Mini built around Apple Silicon is impressively small and extremely powerful.

Starting at $599 with the M4 system on a chip, 16GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage, this could be a value family computer for
