So today let's do a gathering of facts of what we know about the new
apple mac mini m1x or just the 2021 mac mini that's expected to be coming this fall
today we will cover what chipset is expected to be inside this new mac when it comes available
as well we'll also cover its release date and price and also other expected features.
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 models 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 a quick word from our sponsor today so with the euros football tournament coming up do you

comparisons you come and watch matt talks tech for everything football related including the euros
this summer what you need to do is download one football and i'm putting the link right below here
and also at the same time as well i'll be putting it in my description as well so release day now
follow me with this we have 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 that the new macbook air is likely to come out in 2022 and up 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 mag safe power connector on the back
similar to the 24 inch imac that we have right now or 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 1 terabyte 2 terabytes
4 terabytes and 8 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 us dollars 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 and 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 video so if you have enjoyed watching it
