* **Enhanced Connectivity:** With three Thunderbolt ports, HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet at the back, and two USB-C ports and a 3.5MM headphone jack at the front, the new Mac Mini offers ample connectivity options. The Thunderbolt ports vary depending on the chosen processor: M4 gets Thunderbolt 4, while the M4 Pro boasts Thunderbolt 5.
* **Compact Design:** Measuring just 5 inches wide, 5 inches deep, and 1.96 inches high, the new Mac Mini is incredibly compact. Its raised platform-esque base allows for efficient airflow, ensuring optimal thermal performance.

The new Mac Mini starts at ₹59,900 in India and comes with a base spec of 16GB RAM. It’s also the first carbon neutral Mac, further enhancing its environmental appeal.
