Nov 8, 2024 · The 2024 version of the Mac mini is much smaller than the previous M2 model, so it takes up less space on a desktop. It's 5 by 5 inches, down from 7.75 by 7.75 inches, and you can really see a difference when they're side-by-side. There were rumors that the Mac mini could be as small as the Apple TV, but it's not that small.

Apr 3, 2017 · Yes I plan on getting the new Mini. I see they call the audio output a headphone jack. No I do not plan on using headphones this way, but my intention is to feed external, amplified speakers. Not really thinking about a 5.1 or similar type of system.

Feb 11, 2023 · EDIT: 4k @120HZ is working with M4/M4 Pro. This thread is about running at a scaled/downsampled "looks like" 3840x2160 resolution, which is not currently supported on M4.

Nov 12, 2024 · Mini M4 Pro. 12/16 is good; 14/20 is more horsepower for the future. Mini M4 Pro starts with 24 GB RAM. Mini M4 is faster than MBP under load due to thermals (this is the only explanation). Mini requires you buy a monitor for it, but this …

Nov 5, 2021 · 2024 Mac Mini M4 Pro has the highest max power consumption of any previous Mac Mini at 140W and in a smaller chassis so high fan noise is not surprising. Wonder what decisions drove them to a smaller chassis when it makes more common sense to go with larger heat sink in a larger chassis to keep fan noise minimal.

Jan 8, 2014 · Considering using a Mac mini instead of an Apple TV 4K as a media player for my TV. Any pros/cons of using one over the other? I use Netflix, Disney Plus, Amazon Prime and Plex.
