Apple’s first Mac mini redesign in 14 years looks like a big aluminum Apple TV
The new Mac mini is larger than the Apple TV by a bit—5×5 inches, instead of 3.66×3.66 inches—but its proportions are roughly similar. That makes its footprint significantly smaller than the old mini (and the current Studio), which was 7.75×7.75 inches, but it's also a fair bit taller.
