Yes, it could. It didn’t reinvent the wheel, but numerous small changes make Apple’s all-in-one even better at the same price. The chip is even faster, the rear port configuration is smarter, it makes you look even better on video calls, and it ...

If you were looking for something like a USB-A port or an HDMI port for connecting an external monitor, you'll need to get an adapter first.

The design remains the same, but you get a new processor and a more generous RAM offering without a price increase. Sadly, Apple is still miserly with the iMac's storage.

You can also configure the Mac Mini M4 with up to 32GB of memory and a 2TB SSD, which will cost you $1,799 or $1,899 if you add a gigabit Ethernet port. You can trick out the Mac Mini M4 Pro with a 14-core CPU, up to 64GB of unified memory, an 8TB SSD, and a gigabit Ethernet port. However, it will set you back a whopping $4,699.

With a new chip and a handful of quality of life improvements, the M4 MacBook Pro has reached new heights.The Latest Tech News, Delivered to Your Inbox
