结论 - Mac Mini M4 是一款出色的日常电脑Apple Mac Mini 的外壳焕然一新，更符合它的名字。尽管 Mac Mini 的尺寸更加紧凑，但其连接性却得到了改善，正面终于有了端口。不过，将电源按钮放在机箱底部显然是一个设计错误。此外，仍然没有为最终用户提供任何维护/升级选项，例如紧凑型 M.2 2242 固态硬盘。
在基本版本中，新的 M4 SoC与 16GB 内存相结合，完全可以满足绝大多数日常应用的需要。这样，M4 就拥有了极高的单核性能，Mac Mini 在日常使用中通常是完全静音的。只有在高负荷情况下，风扇才会更加努力地工作，在这种情况下，新款 Mac Mini M4 的噪音明显高于上一代产品。 前代产品。与 Windows PC 相比，Mac Mini M4 附带的软件套件要丰富得多。

除了缺少升级选项外，Apple ，内存和固态硬盘的升级价格仍然是一大劣势。此外，256 GB 的固态硬盘存储空间已经不是最新的了，而 512 GB 型号的附加费（200 美元）简直太离谱了。
Pros+ 更小巧的机身
+ 非常快速高效的 M4 SoC
+ 雷电 4 和 Wi-Fi 6E
+ 支持三台外接显示器
+ 在执行简单任务时几乎始终保持静音
+ 丰富的软件功能Cons- 没有维护选项
- 内存和固态硬盘升级费用高昂
- 高负载时噪音比上一代产品大很多
- 电源按钮的位置
- 保修期只有 12 个月
价格和供应情况您可以直接通过Apple 配置和购买新款 Mac Mini M4。.此外，你还可以在亚马逊上以 574 美元的价格购买基本型号。

在上一代 Mac Mini 没有配备 M3 处理器之后，Apple ，现在又推出了全新的 M4 SoC。最重要的是，新款 Mac Mini 变得更加小巧轻便。你可以选择名为 M4 和 M4 Pro 的两款Apple SoC。 M4 Pro(两种型号）。我们测试了配备 M4 SoC、16 GB 内存和 256 GB 固态硬盘的新款基本型号，MRSP 为 599 美元。配备 M4 Pro（24 GB 内存、512 GB 固态硬盘）的 Mac Mini 售价至少为 1,399 美元。最高价格可达 4699 美元（配备 14 个 CPU 内核、64 GB 内存、8 TB 存储器和 10 Gbit/s 以太网的 M4 Pro）。

机箱 - Mac Mini 现在更小巧了Mac Mini 2024 仍采用圆角设计，但其 12.7 x 12.7 厘米的占地面积比前代产品更加紧凑。 前代产品(20 x 20 厘米）更为紧凑。现在，它实际上是 Mac Studio.与旧款相比，新款 Mac Mini 的尺寸更像一台Apple TV。不过，新款 Mac Mini 的高度为 5 厘米，比旧款（3.6 厘米）略高。与Apple 一样，它的制造质量和做工都非常出色，尽管重量只有 648 克（我们的入门级配置），但电源装置已经集成到了设备中。
电源按钮一定是在开发后期才考虑到的，因为它位于左后角的底部。这意味着不抬起 Mac Mini 就无法按下按钮。虽然很多Apple 用户很少真正关闭他们的设备，但这一位置仍然非常遗憾。你可以使用适当的工具从底部打开机箱，取下大风扇后，就能看到固态硬盘模块。该模块是专有的，但理论上可以更换，而且将来肯定会有升级套件。不过，内存无法升级。

连接性：前置 Thunderbolt 4 和 USB-C作为重新设计的一部分，Apple 还修改了 Mac Mini 的连接方式。现在，它只配备了 USB-C 端口，背面的三个端口支持 Thunderbolt 4（M4 Pro 支持 Thunderbolt 5），另外，正面终于有了两个端口（USB C 3.2 Gen 2）。这样，连接移动存储设备或其他配件就更方便了。插孔也位于正面。标配千兆以太网，可选配万兆以太网（+100 美元）。与之前的 M3 SoC 相比，Apple 修改了其显示引擎，现在可以连接多达三个外部显示器。不过，它没有读卡器。与当前的 MacBook Pro 机型一样，它的 Wi-Fi 模块支持 Wi-Fi 6E 和蓝牙 5.3，但还不支持 Wi-Fi 7。在使用华硕参考路由器进行的测试中，它的速度和稳定性都非常好。

可持续性Apple 苹果公司非常重视可持续发展问题，在其产品页面上提供了 Mac Mini 的环境报告。除了在 Mac Mini 及其包装上使用大量可回收材料外，制造商还使用环保能源，因此基本机型的二氧化碳排放量为 32 千克， ，并通过Apple 二氧化碳证书予以补偿。因此，Mac Mini 的生产不影响气候。
性能 - 配备 16GB 内存的 M4 ProMac Mini M4 的基本型号配备 16 GB 内存，你还可以选择 24 或 32 GB 内存。选择 M4 Pro可选择 24、48 或 64 GB 内存。
测试条件配备 M4 SoC 的 Mac Mini 没有任何能源配置文件，只有我们熟悉的省电模式。
处理器 - M4，10 个 CPU 内核我们已经熟悉了当前的 M4 SoC iPad Pro但在本例中，只使用了配备 10 核 CPU 的机型（6 个 E 核、4 个 P 核）。因此，核心配置与 M4 Pro/Max 机型有很大不同，后者只有四个高效核心。新款 M4 的 P 核心最高主频为 4.464 GHz（因此比 M4 Pro 低约 50 MHz），当所有核心都满载时，主频为 3.93 GHz。E 核心的最高运行频率为 2.89 GHz。
在单核测试中，该处理器的功耗约为 5.2 瓦，甚至略低于 M3 SoC。不过，其单核性能有了显著提高，新的 M4 芯片是目前市场上速度最快的单核 CPU。在本地基准测试 Cinebench 2024/R23 和 Geekbench 中，新 M4 的性能大大优于竞争对手。
在多核测试中，新款 M4 的最大功耗为 21.5 瓦，即使在连续负载的情况下，Mac Mini 也能轻松保持这一功耗。在 Cinebench 2024 测试中，新款 M4 仅略逊于 Core Ultra 9 185H(65 瓦）和 Ryzen 7 8700G(65 瓦）。在 Geekbench 测试中，M4 甚至占有优势，但在较早的 Cinebench R23 测试中，M4 却落后于 AMD/Intel 的竞争对手。不过，总的来说，M4 的性能仍然非常出色，与采用 M2 SoC 的旧款 Mac Mini 相比，M4 的优势在大多数情况下都超过了 50%。

系统性能非晶记忆标记尽管是入门级配置，新款 Mac Mini M4 仍是一台速度极快、反应灵敏的电脑。我们在测试过程中没有遇到任何问题，主观感觉上，这款小型台式电脑的速度与配备 M4 Max 的 MacBook Pro 16 不相上下。当然，M4 SoC 在处理要求非常高的任务时最终会达到极限，但对于大多数休闲用户来说，新款 Mac Mini 可以满足所有需求。测试设备在合成基准测试（尤其是浏览器测试）中表现出色。由于内置了神经引擎，它还支持Apple Intelligence，尽管新的 iPhone 同步功能在德国（本测试在德国进行）还不可用。

存储设备非晶盘标记值得庆幸的是，Apple ，存储速度极慢的时代似乎已经成为过去，但遗憾的是，有限的存储容量却并非如此。我们测试设备中的 AP0256Z 固态硬盘的传输速率为 2-3 GB/s，对于日常使用来说绝对足够了。然而，256 GB 的存储容量（其中 214 GB 在首次启动设备后可用）根本无法满足需要。Mac Mini M4 的最大存储容量为 2 TB，M4 Pro 机型的固态硬盘存储容量为 8 TB，但Apple 一如既往地对更大的存储容量收取巨额附加费。例如，从 256 GB 升级到 512 GB 需要 200 美元。在这种情况下，你应该考虑借助外部固态硬盘或NAS系统来扩展Mac Mini的存储空间，这样更经济实惠。
图形卡M4 SoC 的集成 GPU 有 10 个内核，最大功耗为 18 瓦，而旧款 M3 SoC 的功耗为 20-21 瓦。尽管如此，它的 GPU 性能提高了约 15-20%，与采用 M2 SoC 的旧款 Mac Mini 相比，优势更加明显。它明显击败了采用 Radeon 780M或 Arc Graphics 8-Core 的微型 PC 直接竞争，但为了更好地分类，我们还将两个最快的 Radeon 890M和 弧形显卡 140V进行比较。在 Steel Nomad Light 和 GFX-Bench 测试中，AMD/Intel 的两款最新 iGPU 也被证明逊色不少，只有 Radeon 890M 的 OpenCL 性能略胜一筹。最快的高通骁龙 GPU，即 Adreno X1-85(4.6 TFLOPS）的速度也明显较慢。
在游戏基准测试中，情况发生了一些变化，但需要指出的是，只有《博德之门 3》可在 Mac Mini 上原生运行。在这种情况下，M4 SoC 仅领先于 Radeon 890M 和 Arc Graphics 140V 这两个最快的变体。然而，所有其他游戏都必须通过模拟才能运行，这就牺牲了一些性能。这也带来了另一个问题，因为与 Windows 相比，可用的原生游戏（iPhone/iPad 游戏除外）实在有限。

排放与动力噪音排放无论是 M4 还是 M4 Pro，Mac Mini 的机箱底部都使用了一个大风扇。尽管如此，后者配备的散热器稍大一些。风扇始终以 1,000 rpm 的转速运转，即使在空转时也是如此，但这只能读出，无法听到或测量。在安静的房间里，只有从 ~1,200 rpm 开始才会听到轻微的噪音。因此，在玩游戏时（约 1,250 rpm），Mac 几乎听不到噪音（24.9 dB(A)）。在最大 CPU 负载情况下（约 1,800 rpm，30.3 dB(A)），尤其是在压力测试中，我们可以将 Mac Mini 的风扇转速提高到 2,950 rpm，即 45.1 dB(A)。不过，在这方面仍有很大的改进空间，因为风扇最高转速可达 4,900 rpm（59.4 dB(A)），我们只能手动触发。总体而言，新款 Mac Mini M4 在高负载情况下的噪音明显高于 Mac Mini M2。 Mac Mini M2M4 Pro 的配置可能会更高。我们的测试设备没有发出其他电子噪音。

温度对于台式电脑来说，表面温度当然是次要的，但即使在压力测试期间，Mac Mini M4 依然保持超低温，顶部最高温度约为 30 °C。我们在风扇出风口（底部后方）测得的最高温度为 39 °C。至少在压力测试期间，机身内部温度明显升高。在这种情况下，M4 SoC 很快就达到了 102 °C，并保持在这一水平。从技术上讲，风扇仍有很大的活动空间，但与Apple 一样，这些高温都能很好地承受。在 CPU/GPU 综合负载的压力测试中，M4 的功耗曾一度达到 37.5 瓦，随后稳定在 34/35 瓦左右，几乎保持不变。

耗电量空闲时，新款 Mac Mini M4 的耗电量在 2.6-2.7 瓦之间，因此与竞争对手相比非常节俭。待机模式和关机时的耗电量也无可挑剔。我们测得游戏时的功耗约为 40 瓦，压力测试开始时的最大功耗为 62.5 瓦，之后降至 57-58 瓦。此外，在 CPU 效率方面，高性能和低功耗的结合也非常明显，不过我们只能使用比较组中较早的 Cinebench R23 的数据。在较新的 Cinebench 2024 中，M4 的领先优势会更大。

Notebookcheck 总评分总的来说，新款 Mac Mini M4 是一款不错的迷你电脑。由于采用了全新的 M4 处理器，它的 CPU 性能非常出色，而且尽管机身更加小巧，但在执行简单的日常任务时仍能保持基本的静音效果。只有在高负载情况下，这款小型 Mac 的声音才会比上一代产品大得多。正面的端口非常方便，但电源按钮的位置却不尽人意。599 美元的基本型号在价格上非常吸引人，但Apple 一如既往地让升级变得非常昂贵。
