So as you may already know there is a new mac mini on its way
however what will be powering it will it have an m1x or m2 inside the 2021 mac mini
well today we will cover what chips that we expect to see inside this new mac when it
comes available we'll also cover its release date and price and other expected features as well.
Hi it's Matt here, so apple updated the baseline mac mini in 2020 with the m1 chipset inside
however apple still continued to sell the top range mac mini and i'll explain why this is
later on in this video however for design wise we haven't actually seen a true redesign to this mac
since 2010 when we went from the kind of plastic design to the full-on unibody metal design that we
can see here shortly after we had changes like the loss of the cd dvd drive then in 2018 we also got
a space gray version however overall the design has remained the same for about 10 years now
the great news is apple are looking to make a whole new design for the mac mini based on
the renders that you're seeing right here and also apple be putting in a more powerful apple
silicon chip than the m1 that we currently have right now so going forwards for all the new mac
mini videos like this one i'm going to be first of all talking about specific features and also maybe
talking about some of the latest leaks about those features then afterwards i'll talk about the plan
release date time and then also we'll also discuss the prices and we'll be doing this by doing a
summary of everything we know about the mac mini and also everything else that we've learned in
previous leaks afterwards i'll be revealing my wish list for the next mac mini and also put in
the comments below of what features you'd love to see in the latest mac mini and in my next video
i may feature your comment and also discuss my thoughts around it so let's start them with the
expected chipset to be put inside the new mac mini well first of all we have to understand that apple
still sell the intel more expensive mac mini right now now the reason behind this is when everything
was still intel base max this more expensive mac mini was considered to be in the next tier
of apple devices in performance what i mean by this is with the 13 inch macbook pro for example
only the lower tier pro model has got the upgrades to m1 then the higher tier macbook pro is still on
sale right now but that does have an intel chipset inside it but also does have four times usb-c
ports and is more regarded as the more powerful 13-inch macbook pro but this will be replaced
by the new 14-inch macbook pro but the current m1 pro 13-inch will still be on sale after this the
same as already mentioned with the mac mini the higher tier mac mini is still for sale and will
be boosted up in performance with the newer chipset but the m1 mac mini will still stay
that new chipset expected to go inside the more powerful macbook pro 14 inch and also the mac mini
is the m1x chipset from a report by mark german he has reported the new m1x is to be a 10 core cpu
and a 16 core to 32 core gpu compared to the 8 core cpu and 8 core gpu that we have in m1
it could feature 256 execution units rather than the m 128 and may be able to drive three monitors
at the same time it's been rumored that the 10 core cpu would have two efficiency cores and eight
performance cores on top at the end of the day by buying this next tier of mac mini
it's more designed for professional creators and developers so to have less efficiency cause
it would be better to be like this due to the type of users who will be using this mac mini
so a quick note with any of these leaks even up to the new mac mini release date that all
reports and leaks are not 100 proof that they will come true and that with the new mac mini
i can only present you what i've been told and shown however if you are watching this video
then you're as curious as i am in knowing what is going to be said about the next mac mini anyway
with that out of the way here's a quick word from our sponsor for just one minute then after we're
going to be talking about the release date the summary of everything we know so far and also the
price of the mac mini so right now this channel is doing a giveaway at the moment and it is for this
it is for a macbook pro m1 and i'm going to be giving this away to one lucky subscriber

we get over that 200 000 mark you'll want to get the notification of that video of when i announce
who the winner is and it could be you at the same time as well you're feeling good and generous hit
that like button at the same time for this video so release day now follow me with this we've been
told that the macbook pro 14 and 16 inch models are planned for release by the end of 2021. it's
expected that the new mac mini would launch near the same time as the chipset inside at the moment
referred to as the m1x will be launching alongside these macbooks we've also had leaks to say the
new macbook air is likely to come out in 2022 and have next generation m2 inside with a similar core
count to m1 based on the m1x is an advancement of m1 we believe apple would not want to launch
an m1x mac mini alongside an m2 model early next year so logically it's assumed that the m1x mac
mini will come out before the end of 2021 at one of apple's mac events however the moment we hear
any more news about this of the release date i'll be updating these videos with everything we know
but moving on let's do a summary of what the 2021 mac mini is expected to give us and the price so
as i've already said a lot of these features and specs are subject to change but one thing we do
know most likely what is going to happen with the new mac mini m1x is we're going to be getting a
brand new design as you've been watching in these renders here it's going to be a slimmer mac mini
and also one of the big top features is it's going to have that new magsafe power connector on the
back similar to the 24 inch imac that we have right now we'll just pop straight out so that is
really really cool on top of that as well inside this mac mini we're going to have the ability
to choose from 512 to 8 terabytes of ssd storage so just make that clear that's 512 gigabytes one
terabyte two terabytes four terabytes and eight terabytes of storage then on top of that as well
it will have that brand new m1x chipset inside it and this will come with two efficiency cores
and eight performance cores we're also expecting this chipset to appear in the likes of the new
macbook pros and also that brand new 32 inch imac or imac pro then also for gpu we're expecting
either 16 or a 32 core gpu option built right into the m1x and that will reflect on the amount
of ram that you pick for the mac mini and talk about ram there's going to be a choice between
16 gigabytes to 64 gigabytes of ram it's most likely if you choose the bottom range you'll
get that 16 core gpu but if you pick the higher range you'll probably get that 32 core gpu but
this hasn't been 100 confirmed yet but the second it will be we will update the sheet accordingly
also with that design what i talked about we're going to be getting aluminium body frame around
the edges what's going to look really really cool again just like we have with the current mac mini
and then for ports on the back we're going to be getting four times thunderbolt 4 ports
and we're also going to be getting two times usb 3.2 ports the usual sort of usb a design that we
get right now or the usual usb type of port and then also there will be a 10 gigabyte ethernet
and then there will also be a hdmi port that will support hdmi 2.1 the starting price for this mac
mini m1x will start at 1099 usd and that will give you a 512 gigabyte storage option and also 16 gigs
of ram because you can flick and change the amount of storage and ram and everything else like that i
can't put all the different prices down here just basically the starting price but moving on let's
talk about my wishes for the mac mini and my wish is to do with the price right now the m1 mac mini
starts at 699 us dollars but the intel version the more higher spec one starts at 1099 us dollars
my fear is apple may raise the price of this mac mini due to the power you get inside the
potential m1x however i'm hoping that apple retain the price or even better drop the mac mini down to
999 us dollars as the m1 mac mini was actually 100 cheaper than its older intel brother than
the last generation however with a new design and everything i do not believe this will happen with
the higher spec mac mini but those are my thoughts and it is also my current wish for this new
mini however let me know your thoughts if you agree with this and also write in the comments
below what your wishes would be for the new machine well guys it's time to wrap up this
