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 continues 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
silicone 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 then 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 usbc 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 m128 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

far please make sure to press the like button well let's get back to the 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 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 will 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 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
