Now it’s time for Apple’s big guns, and by “big” we mean incredibly tiny. The rumors were true on a redesigned M4 Mac mini, and the size is shocking — announced during Apple's Mac Week. A 5-inch square packs either M4 or M4 Pro power, and makes one of my personal favorite mini PCs even smaller and better than ever.
