**New Delhi, India -** Apple has released its latest iteration of the Mac mini, featuring the powerful new M4 and M4 Pro chips. This compact and efficient desktop boasts significant performance upgrades, including up to 1.8 times faster CPU and 2.2 times faster GPU performance compared to its predecessor. The new Mac mini also marks a significant milestone as Apple’s first carbon-neutral product, achieving over 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

The M4 chip delivers a noticeable boost in everyday tasks, while the M4 Pro model excels in handling demanding workloads such as 3D rendering and audio processing. Both chips feature advanced multi-threading capabilities, allowing for seamless multitasking and creative workflows.

The new Mac mini offers improved connectivity with front and back ports, including Thunderbolt 4 and Thunderbolt 5 for lightning-fast data transfers. The device supports multiple high-resolution displays, allowing users to connect up to three 6K monitors with the M4 Pro model.

Apple’s commitment to environmental sustainability is evident in the Mac mini’s design and manufacturing processes. Built with recycled aluminum, gold, and rare earth elements, the device utilizes environmentally-friendly shipping practices and features fully fiber-based packaging, eliminating plastic use.

The Mac mini also introduces “Apple Intelligence,” a system that leverages AI capabilities for tasks like on-device speech-to-text and image generation through tools like Image Playground and Genmoji. Starting in December, Apple Intelligence will integrate with ChatGPT, providing users with a smarter Siri experience without requiring a separate app.

The new Mac mini runs on macOS Sequoia, which introduces iPhone Mirroring, allowing users to access their iPhone apps and notifications directly on the Mac. The OS update also includes upgrades to Safari, new gaming features, improved window management, and the new Passwords app.

The Mac mini with the M4 chip is priced at Rs 59,900, with a special education price of Rs 49,900.
