Not a lot of ports on the back, but to be expected with the form factor.
Wifi7 would have increased the cost as the tech is still quite expensive to incorporate. Considering the amount of people with Wifi7 routers, it seems like a smart business decision to keep the $599 price and go with 6E
This looks like a great option. But anyone else notice that the M4 mini still only supports 2 external displays when the M4 iMac clearly has 3 display controllers (one for the built in display plus 2 external displays). Why the difference?
I was hoping they would give the M4 Pro 4 total display out options but I guess not (or maybe they are artificially limiting the mini but that doesn’t make much sense).
Edit: never mind. The tech spec page states 3 external displays for the M4. The press release was less clear on that. I still wish the M4 Pro got 4 but oh well.

$800 to go from 256gb to 2TB
That's about a 5x markup
Just incredible that they won't relent on that in the slightest

Judging by the postiive comments here, there are a lot of fans for this new Mac mini.
Ergonomically thats much better than the back
Bit weird having the headphone jack on the front. As someone who often has their mini plugged in to my amp, and likes their setup to look wire free, it's a bit off putting
You didn't know that the majority of users of a $600 Mac needs 80Gbps to connect their...Hmmm...not sure why they need that.
I have a 4TB high speed NVME SSD hooked up to my current Mac mini with thunderbolt 4 and I store everything on it as far as my personal files go yet somehow the internal 256 has filled up completely in a single years use from whatever apps store on it... incredibly frustrating.
While I agree... finding a comparable monitor, keyboard and trackpad for $900 is NOT an easy feat.
The Mini computer will be ruled by Apple! Geekom, Minisforum, bee-link, etc are now taking note! Apple will conquer this segment. I see these selling like hotcakes! I can see an increase of market share over the next two years. Price points are incredible!
Simultaneously supports up to three displays:
- Up to three displays: Two displays with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz over Thunderbolt and one display with up to 5K resolution at 60Hz over Thunderbolt or 4K resolution at 60Hz over HDMI
- Up to two displays: One display with up to 5K resolution at 60Hz over Thunderbolt and one display with up to 8K resolution at 60Hz or 4K resolution at 240Hz over Thunderbolt or HDMI
They were always going to announce the MBP last .... hypetrain!
I know what you mean! The Apple tax on upgrades is frusting. An 8GB NVME chip cost pennies on the dollar.
Hopefully we see some nice matching TB docks that slot under or on top and have an NVMe slot(s)
Hard reset, for one.
To answer the original post, the power button is tucked under one of the corners:
Convenience. Most people don't use headphone amps or DAC's.
yes but was the base storage upgraded to 512 instead of the ridiculous 256??
