Watch Apple introduce the M4 Mac Mini in its reveal video

The video begins with John Ternus, Apple's senior vice president of engineering, unveiling the new desktop device (literally). He says the device is “even smaller,” measuring just five inches long and wide.

The video then switches to Shloka Kini, product manager of the Mac Mini, who also says that the M4 device offers a “big performance boost in an incredibly small design.” Kini claims the Mac Mini is up to six times faster than the best-selling PC in its price range – but at just one-twentieth the size.

The smaller – and more powerful – Mac Mini offers 16GB of RAM and has a starting price of $599 with the standard M4 chip, but that price jumps to $1,399 for the M4 Pro model. According to Tim Millet, vice president of platform architecture at Apple, the M4 Pro has up to 14 CPU cores and 20 GPU cores, making it 1.6 times faster than the M2 Pro. We also get a glimpse of some of the Apple Intelligence updates that will be coming to Mac devices, such as redesigned Siri and AI-powered writing tools.

This probably won't be the last Mac-related announcement we see from Apple this week. According to rumors, the company is also launching an M4-powered MacBook Pro.
