The Mac mini is the most affordable option for users who want a Mac computer. Since the debut of Apple's silicon chipset, and the subsequent release of the M1 Mac mini in late 2020, the Mac mini has also been an incredibly affordable option to those looking for a powerful computer.

As rumored, the Mini has been shrunken down considerably — and it was already a relatively small desktop machine to begin with. Now it’s downright tiny, measuring five inches in both length and width.

Apple has launched the new Mac Mini with the M4 chip, starting at $599. Pre-orders are open now, with a release date of November 8.
