At 7.7*7.7*1.4 inches, the Mac mini is a tiny desktop. When the form factor debuted in 2010, it was pretty impressive. But 12 years later, with mini PCs like the Intel NUC measuring 4.6*4.4*1.5 inches, the Mac mini doesn't feel all that mini anymore.

As it turns out, the PC is packing some extra baggage, and by getting rid of some of those parts-like an overly powerful internal power supply unit (PSU)-an enthusiast has been able to rebuild the system with a 28 percent reduction in volume while allegedly keeping the same performance as the original machine.

Since I'm no archeologist who specialises in prehistoric measurement systems", I have no idea what those weird, alien measurements mean, but the pictures and video are clear: this is a really tiny M1 Mac Mini now.

And the enthusiast" is Quinn Nelson, all-around good guy.
