Apple‘s latest Mac mini, powered by the impressive M4 and M4 Pro chips, has finally landed in the Philippines. This compact powerhouse is set to redefine desktop computing with its impressive performance and sleek design.

Starting at P36,990 (around $631 converted), the base model boasts an M4 chip with 10 CPU cores, 10 GPU cores, 16GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD. For those seeking even more power, the top-of-the-line M4 Pro model, priced at P84,990 ($1,450), offers 14 CPU cores, 20 GPU cores, 24GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD.

You can grab the M4 Mac mini right now from Apple’s official online store. But if you prefer the brick-and-mortar experience — and a nice freebie — authorized reseller Beyond the Box has you covered.

Beyond the Box is kicking off preorders today, November 29, running until December 5. Preorder at one of its retail locations, and you’ll get a gift. Choose between a Marshall Willen Bluetooth speaker (worth P6,590 or $112) or Marshall Major IV wireless headphones (valued at P8,690 or $148). That’s a pretty compelling reason to ditch the online cart and head to a physical store.

This new iteration of the Apple Mac mini is a significant upgrade from its predecessor, the M2-based Mac mini. The ultracompact design, inspired by the Mac Studio, is surprisingly small, measuring just 12.7cm per side. Impressively, the overall footprint is less than half the size of the previous generation, which is roughly the same size of the original mini built around the M1 silicon.

And despite its diminutive size, the M4 Mac mini doesn’t skimp on ports. You’ll find three Thunderbolt ports (Thunderbolt 5 on the M4 Pro, Thunderbolt 4 on the M4), HDMI 2.1, Gigabit Ethernet, and two front-facing USB-C ports for added convenience.
