Amongst the new MacBooks and iMacs we've seen over the last few years, there's one Apple Mac that's starting to look a little left behind. But if new reports are to be believed, the good old Mac mini could finally be in for some design love this year.

Rumour has it the Mac mini is set to take design cues from the 2021 iMac and the original Apple TV. This could mean a much smaller device, and a move away from the current unibody aluminium design. Don't fancy waiting? Check out the best Mac mini deals available now.
