Apple’s latest Mac mini isn’t just smaller, it’s the perfect size
Really compact size, Low entry price, Can be specced up to serious power
No SD card slot, Could be unnecessary if you already have a Macbook and a monitor, Base level storage is limiting

The smallest Mac you can buy is arguably also the best. #apple #macmini #m4pro
Wonderfully compact ; Excellent performance ; Silent operation ; Support for Thunderbolt 5 ; Good connectivity ; Attractive starting price
No Wi-Fi 7 support ; No USB-A port & SD card slot ; Upgrades are pricey
The TL;DR version: The Mac mini may be Apple’s smallest and most affordable Mac, but it delivers big performance and value. Note : You can find the Mac mini on Lazada , Shopee , and the Apple Online Store .

Apple's new Mac Mini offers a big performance boost thanks to the M4 chipset, but is it enough to warrant a purchase?
Expert review by : Erlingur Einarsson (creativebloq.com)
Offering a near-perfect blend of power and value, the Mac mini is still the true People's Apple Product.
Great value for power ; Super small ; Excellent MacOS UX
No discrete graphics
Apart from the lack of high-power discrete graphics, the Apple Mac mini (M4) might be as close to the perfect computer for most people as any computer can get. It's tiny, but packs enough power for any creative task outside 3D processing or heavy video...
