The iMac is pretty much the same as the one Apple released last October, which is pretty much the same as the one the company released in 2021. This one just comes with an M4 instead of an M3. That’s not to say it isn’t going to be a very good computer.

Hardware may have been the main factor holding Apple back in gaming before it launched its M-series chips, but that's no longer the case. M-series chips are capable of ray tracing and plenty powerful enough to run most of the same games Windows PCs can run.

The new Mac mini is larger than the Apple TV by a bit—5×5 inches instead of 3.66×3.66 inches—but its proportions are roughly similar. That makes its footprint significantly smaller than the old mini (and the current Studio), which was 7.75×7.75 inches. But it's also a fair bit taller: 2 inches, up from 1.4 inches.

The new M4 Mac mini is an incredible opportunity for Intel Mac owners to finally move to Apple Silicon. Here's what has changed in the six years since the last Intel Mac mini's release.
