Guest /u/sutabi Posted November 12, 2024 Posted November 12, 2024 I came from the M1 Mac Mini and this is not available on it but the M4 Mac Mini has low power mode like on the laptops. You might wonder why anyone would want this. I live in a place where power outages are common so I have battery and gas backups. The M4 will drop down to a max of 25 watts versus the 65 watts. The M1 Mac Mini max watts is 39 watts. Effectively the M4 becomes the M1 with lower single core but same multi core, and 1.5x gpu just with 25 watts (35% less power). The fan never gets above 1000 RPM. Typical usage is around 13 watts so with low power monitor I can hit around 18 watts versus the typical 35 watts on my M1 mini with monitor. submitted by /u/sutabi [link] [comments]
