Mac mini
Mighty.Mini.M4.
Serious desktop performance in a 12.7cm square. Apple's M4 and M4 Pro Mac mini is built for South African creators, developers, and professionals who want a fast, quiet Mac that fits anywhere.
Form factor
Smaller than you think.Ready for anything.
The 2024 redesign shrank the Mac mini to a 12.7cm (5-inch) square, roughly 5cm tall. It slides under a monitor or tucks behind a display, with two USB-C ports and a headphone jack now on the front for easy access.
12.7cm
Width & depth
A 5-inch square footprint that fits on the smallest desk.
5cm
Height
Compact and quiet, with a redesigned thermal system that keeps it cool under load.

Displays
Drive up to three external displays at once on M4 Pro (two on M4 plus HDMI).
The smallest Mac. A genuine desktop.
Apple silicon and its unified memory architecture put the CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine on one chip with shared high-bandwidth memory. That is how the Mac mini delivers desktop-class performance for editing, coding, and design from a footprint smaller than a hardcover book.
Apple silicon
M4 and M4 Pro.Real power.
Built on a second-generation 3-nanometre process, the M4 family is engineered for demanding creative and development workflows.
The M4 Mac mini pairs a 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU with 16GB of unified memory as standard, configurable to 32GB. Step up to M4 Pro for up to a 14-core CPU, a 20-core GPU, up to 64GB of unified memory, and Thunderbolt 5.

Apple Intelligence
On-device intelligence.Private by design.
The 16-core Neural Engine runs Apple Intelligence features locally on the Mac mini. Generate text, summarise documents, and create images while your data stays on the machine wherever possible.
On-device
Many models run locally on M4, so your data stays with you.
Writing Tools
Rewrite, summarise, and proofread wherever you type.
Smarter Siri
More natural conversation with deeper on-screen context.
Image Playground
Generate original imagery on demand, on device.
Why Mac mini
Built for the wayyou actually work.
The reasons the Mac mini earns a permanent place on the desk of creators, developers, and professionals.
Quiet under load.
Apple silicon runs efficiently, so the Mac mini stays quiet during exports and long builds instead of spinning up loud fans.
Low power draw.
The Mac mini uses a fraction of the power of a comparable tower PC. That means lower running costs and far more runtime from a UPS or inverter during load-shedding.
Years of free macOS upgrades.
Apple supports its Macs with new macOS versions for years, with no licence fees and no pre-installed bloatware.
It works with your Apple devices.
Hand off from iPhone, AirDrop from iPad, use your iPhone as a Continuity Camera, and extend to an iPad with Sidecar.
Security is built in.
Apple silicon's Secure Enclave, FileVault encryption, and Gatekeeper are part of the platform, protecting your work and data.
A recycled aluminium build.
A precision-machined enclosure made with 100% recycled aluminium, built to last and to hold its resale value.
Bring your own peripherals.
Connect the displays, keyboard, and mouse you already own. M4 Pro drives up to three external displays at once.
Two tiers, one desktop.
Start with the M4 for everyday and creative work, or choose M4 Pro when heavier editing, 3D, and compilation demand more cores and memory.
