A first look at Apple’s redesigned Mac Mini and its other new Macs

Now that Apple has finished announcing its slate of new M4-equipped Mac computers, we’ve finally been able to see them in person. The Verge’s Vjeran Pavic got some hands-on time with the new products and took some gorgeous photos that you can peruse below.

I’m blown away by how small the new Mac Mini is; the old Mac Mini, which was already small, seems giant in comparison. Vjeran tells me that, in person, the smaller Mac Mini is cute but that it’s “more like a mini Mac Studio than a mini Mac Mini.” He also says that there’s no way to reach the power button, which is on the underside of the computer, without lifting it up.

As for the other computers, the new colors on the iMac really pop when they’re lined up together in these photos, if you ask me. And while the space black color for the MacBook Pros isn’t totally new, seeing it in these photos makes me really wish that Apple would bring it to the MacBook Air.

The new Macs are all available to preorder now ahead of their official release next week.
