apple is going to shrink the next Mac
0:02
Mini when it adds an M4 processor
0:05
according to an often reliable source of
0:07
information it's Mark Gman the D could
0:11
be the size of an Apple TV Apple has
0:15
redesign Mac many sense Griffin I'm
0:17
sorry to interrupt you your your your
0:18
levels is your levels are really low for
0:20
some reason can you turn it up in anyway
0:22
I can do it manually here
0:24
but then I have to turn up Lewis as well
0:27
yeah is that better now oh yeah much
0:30
better okay I I'll keep this window open
0:32
okay anyways Apple hasn't redesigned the
0:35
Mac Mini since 2010 the Mac Mini has
0:37
actually only had two ever designs the
0:40
like white polycarbonate one and their
0:42
current aluminum one it's kind of crazy
0:44
but Apple has finally found a way to
0:46
improve on the tiny desktop it'll get
0:49
much smaller according to information
0:50
leaked by Mark Gman the the computer
0:53
could end up about the size of an Apple
0:55
TV a 3.7 in square for reference the
0:59
current Mac Mini is a 7.8 in
1:02
square um a question I have is how
1:04
they're going to fit all of the ports on
1:06
the back of it because like you know the
1:08
Mac Mini is currently about as wide as
1:10
all of the ports that are plugged into
1:12
it um put them on the
1:14
top Apple has tested modals with at
1:17
least three USBC ports on the back of
1:19
the mini in addition to an area for
1:21
plugging in the power cable and an HDMI
1:23
port for connecting the device to TV
1:25
sets and monitors but you know there the
1:28
Mac Mini also comes with two us a ports
1:30
and it comes with an Ethernet Jack and a
1:32
headphone jack he doesn't mention those
1:34
so maybe they'll be cutting some of
1:36
those well what Apple consider as Legacy
1:38
ports but what I consider kind of
1:39
essential ports for a computer um the
1:44
Mac Mini will keep its aluminum casing
1:45
it won't switch to plastic so that's
1:47
good at least um and they will continue
1:50
to offer M4 and M4 pro versions it's not
1:53
like when they switch to the tiny case
1:55
that they're going to drop that sort of
1:57
a mid-tier model that I think is a
1:59
pretty good balance of power and price
2:02
so uh sounds like mostly good news
2:04
although I'm a little little hesitant
2:07
that they're going to butcher my
2:09
favorite machine butcher it always the
2:12
case I don't want them to take ports out
2:15
I don't I don't either and and I don't
2:17
want something as big as a Mac Studio
2:19
the Mac Mini you know it's it's it's
2:21
it's a perfect little nugget of a
2:22
computer for me yeah but they're going
2:24
to make it way more powerful I mean it's
2:27
essentially a Mac Studio mini with the
2:30
M4 Pro in there I mean to a degree is
2:33
and that's what I like about it but you
2:34
know I I almost I almost every day plug
2:37
something into my Mac or unplug
2:38
something like every single port on the
2:40
back of my Mac Mini is
2:42
filled yeah but that's nothing that a
2:44
dongle can't fix and you know we're
2:46
heading back that's why you get a
2:47
desktop computer so you don't have to
2:49
ever deal with like this this dongle
2:51
problem I skipped over the dongle
2:53
generation for this very reason oh you
2:55
never had any dongles huh well no those
2:57
were tough times man let me tell you
2:59
those I suffered in other ways because I
3:01
still had a 2015 MacBook Pro in early
3:04
2023 but that's beside the point yeah
3:07
but at least you had some usba ports
3:09
yeah yeah I don't know man I mean I
3:11
could see them pulling some ports out of
3:13
here but in which case I think the
3:14
trade-off with more power smaller size
3:17
so that you could just have it on your
3:19
desk and then you have a dock I I don't
3:21
want that Solution by any by any means I
3:24
think I like docs but when you have to
3:26
have a dock it's super annoying I think
3:28
that it should have enough port for
3:30
regular people but if they're going to
3:32
make it smaller they could put ports on
3:34
the side I don't love that
3:35
implementation cuz it's way less clean
3:37
and now you have cables that are pulling
3:39
on your Mac from the side which kind of
3:42
makes it like skew and not sit on your
3:45
desk like facing forward because you
3:47
have like the like the pressure for it
3:49
being pulled from its side but for that
3:52
chip I think that might be a pretty good
3:54
trade-off and you could do crazy video
3:56
editing with an M4 Pro you could
4:00
that that would be powerful enough for I
4:03
would say 95% of people's video editing
4:06
especially for Content creators there's
4:08
no way you would need anything more
4:10
powerful than that now they haven't
4:12
released it yet but I mean you can
4:14
do to MacBook Pro is already more than
4:17
powerful enough for that I do 4K video
4:18
eding all the time and it's and it it it
4:20
handles it absolutely swimmingly yeah
4:23
the m1's the same like I was arguing
4:25
with myself last night cuz I'm thinking
4:28
about getting the M4 Max MacBook Pro
4:30
when they release it and I was like dude
4:32
you do not need this you do not need
4:34
this the the M1 is is perfectly good
4:38
enough for anything that I'm going to be
4:40
doing and not to mention I haven't even
4:41
put out a YouTube video in like seven
4:45
then I think it's not about need loose
4:49
it's about the it's about having the
4:51
best you know got to have the best there
4:54
is you got to be able to you got to be
4:55
able to shave you know 10 seconds off
5:00
export for that one export that you do
5:02
every six months of video it's about
5:05
that I'm not even editing the C
5:08
Cast Grim's doing it so like for me it's
5:12
really pointless to have such a powerful
5:14
machine because I could probably get
5:17
away with a 15-inch MacBook Air at this
5:18
point and in a lot of ways that machine
5:21
would would would be I think a better
5:25
allaround Computing machine because it's
5:26
not as heavy it's easier to carry and
5:29
I've thought about doing that
5:30
implementation like getting a MacBook
5:31
Air and then a Mac Studio or something
5:34
just to have because I I really do I
5:37
know I say this all the time I actually
5:39
really do want to get back into YouTube
5:40
I should have never left it was a huge
5:42
mistake it was a huge mistake I'm
5:43
telling you I think even a MacBook Air
5:45
would be more than enough to handle the
5:46
cultcast live streams because an M4
5:49
MacBook Air would probably be more
5:50
powerful than that PC you have right now
5:53
I don't think so man I mean the video
5:56
card that I have in here is a um a 4080
5:59
and its encoders its video encoders I
6:02
think are unparalleled unless you get a
6:04
4090 but it's able to uh to encode in in
6:07
YouTube's um highest quality codec which
6:10
I'm not sure a Matt could even do I
6:12
think you actually have to have Nvidia
6:13
to do that I forget what codec it's
6:15
called it's like the a something1 AV av1
6:18
yeah so we we broadcast an av1 which I
6:20
will say when we upgraded to av1 it made
6:23
a huge difference in quality
