The 13-inch MacBook Pro is, again a familiar design for anyone who's looked at Apple laptops in the last few years. It's also worth noting here that the M1 version officially supports two displays maximum (one up to 6K and one up to 4K), while the Intel version supports three displays maximum (4K max – two displays if one is 5K. The Intel version expands on this, adding two more USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 ports. The M1 version includes two USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 ports, two USB-A ports, an HDMI 2.0 connector, 3.5mm jack, and a Gigabit ethernet port (which you upgrade to 10Gb). The Mac mini has a great suite of built-in connectivity. This is the same whether you get it with an Apple-made processor or an Intel option – though the Apple version is silver and the Intel is dark grey. Specifically, a block 7.7 inches wide and deep, and 1.4 inches high.

The Mac mini has exactly the same design as it has for several years, which is a small aluminium block. Look! The MacBook Pro has ports now! (Image credit: Apple) Mac mini vs MacBook Pro: Design & connectivity
