The M4 Pro variant of Apple's redesigned Mac Mini upgrades to three Thunderbolt 5 ports on the rear, tripling bandwidth to 120 Gb/s compared to the standard M4 model's Thunderbolt 4. Two front USB-C ports at 10 Gb/s handle peripherals and quick file transfers alongside a headphone jack. HDMI 2.1 drives a display up to 8K at 60Hz or 4K at 240Hz directly from the rear panel. Gigabit Ethernet comes via the power adapter, with a configurable 10GbE upgrade for network-intensive workflows.
