    PRICE From £1,666 (£1,999 inc VAT) from apple.com/uk

    Ahead of Apple’s March Event there had been rumours about a new Mac mini (see issue 318, p54), but no-one was expecting the company to introduce an entirely new Mac. Yet that’s what we’ve got: a compact desktop computer that’s designed for heavy-duty workloads.

    The design owes a lot to the mini. It’s built from a single aluminium extrusion, and has the same 197mm square footprint. It’s also sold in a similarly minimal package, with no keyboard or mouse, nor even any cables save for a power lead. At 95mm it’s more than twice as tall as the mini – to the point where some people think it looks ugly and boxy – but it’s still tiny compared to a typical desktop workstation. That’s partly thanks to how Apple’s M1 architecture integrates CPU, GPU and memory on to a single chip.
