Apple Mac mini (M4 Pro)
$1,399.00
The Mac mini with M4 Pro fits workstation-class performance into Apple’s smallest-ever desktop chassis, just 5 by 5 inches, small enough to hide behind a monitor. It is the configuration for people who find the standard M4 Mac mini underpowered but don’t need the size or cost of a Mac Studio: developers, video editors and small studios.
Who it's for
- Video editors cutting and grading 4K and multi-stream HD timelines in Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve
- Developers who want a compile-and-test machine fast enough to keep pace with a MacBook Pro
- Users experimenting with smaller local AI models for on-device inference, with up to 64GB of unified memory
- Studios, agencies and IT teams equipping multiple desks, or teams that already use a MacBook Pro as their primary device
Key features
- Up to 14-core CPU: 10 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores in the top configuration, a substantial step up from the base M4.
- Up to 20-core GPU: strong, sustained graphics and compute performance from a chassis you can hold in one hand.
- Up to 64GB unified memory: configurable well beyond the base model’s ceiling, enough for demanding creative pipelines and local AI experimentation.
- 273GB/s memory bandwidth: keeps the CPU, GPU and 16-core Neural Engine fed under real workloads, not just benchmarks.
- Thunderbolt 5: three rear ports at up to 120Gb/s each, the first Mac mini generation to offer Thunderbolt 5 on the Pro chip, so fast external SSDs and high-bandwidth capture devices run at full speed. The previous generation’s Thunderbolt 4 ports couldn’t match it.
- Drives up to two displays: one at up to 8K/60Hz or 4K/240Hz, plus a second at up to 5K/60Hz.
- Compact, near-silent design: Apple’s smallest-ever Mac mini enclosure, machined from a single block of recycled aluminium, running near-silently even under sustained load.
- Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3: fast, reliable wireless connectivity out of the box.

Good to know
- Bring your own display, keyboard and mouse. The Mac mini connects to one or two displays.
- It uses the same M4 Pro silicon as the equivalent MacBook Pro configuration, with the same performance profile and macOS behaviour, and full compatibility with workflows built around Apple Silicon.
- It draws far less power than a larger desktop and takes up a fraction of the desk space.
Choose this over the base M4 Mac mini when your work needs more CPU, GPU and memory bandwidth. Choose a Mac Studio only if you need more machine than this, at a higher price.
