Gigabyte has announced its latest mini PC, the BRIX GB-BRU7-255H, which measures 119.4 x 112.6 x 34.4mm with a total volume of 0.5L, making it smaller than Apple’s Mac Mini M4.
It supports up to 96GB of DDR5 memory and offers two PCIe Gen 4×4 slots that allow up to 16TB of NVME SSD storage.
In comparison, the Mac Mini M4 offers a maximum of 32GB of RAM plus less storage capacity at a higher price.
Groundbreaking performance

The open nature of Gigabyte’s platform gives users more choice in where to get their memory upgrades compared to Apple’s own ecosystem.
