Why we recommend this

The 5x5-inch Mac mini M4 integrates a 10-core CPU and GPU M4 chip, 16GB memory, and 256GB SSD for fluid performance in a tiny footprint. First-ever front-facing USB-C ports and a headphone jack, plus rear Thunderbolt and HDMI, make connections far more convenient. Best suited for business users and home office workers needing a capable macOS desktop for multitasking and light creative work, not gaming, reflected by an 80.7 business score.
