I suspect M stands for Mac, but it's fair to note that the Mini (and iMac) were using mobile (laptop) hardware previously, so it's certainly plausible that M stands for mobile.

The Intel Mac Mini and iMac both use Intel's desktop chip line, with 65 watt TDP.

Huh, I stand corrected, thanks. Did that change at some point or have I been consistently wrong?

That I don't know! Except the original Bondi iMac definitely was laptop parts.
