Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought the base model with 256GB memory, simply because you can add a 2TB external drive with USB-C for less than $100 and it's portable / replaceable. I got a TotalTech deal for $549, and $25 back in rewards, so realistically I only paid $525 for it. DEAL... It's super small, fast, and I love all the USB-C ports. Instead of trading in my old M1 Mac mini ($200 trade), I kept it and connected it to my 70" 4K TV in the main room. It's nice to have it as a backup computer. Simply connect a wireless keyboard and ,ouse, and it's like having a huge computer in your family room. Connect the Apple CD/DVD drive to it and you can watch movies on it, replacing the old DVD player on your shelf. The fact that this has 16GB RAM as a base model at that price really is amazing. Nice job, Apple and N Canton, OH BestBuy!!

This is my first non laptop Apple computer. I used a Macbook for years, it was all I needed at the time. I never considered the older Mini, either the Intel based or M1/2 based ones, they were ok for what they were but they lacked normal priced upgrade options...seriously $200 for 256GB of additional storage is nuts! This new one still suffers from Apples delusional upgrade pricing, but they at least start you off with more ram (16GB) instead of a measly 8GB, and the M4 chip in the base model is plenty powerful enough for even heavy editing work. I got around the idiotic upgrade pricing for the storage by adding a Thunderbolt 4 external enclosure (around $50) and added my own 4TB NVMe ssd from Crucial. It's VERY fast storage, you wont miss having overpaid for it internally at all. The size is truly tiny, like palm of your hand tiny, and it's not getting too hot in my pretty hard usage of it today, I'm really impressed with that last part. All told, if you are in the Apple ecosystem, or even if you want to break into it, this is the lowest cost device they sell to allow you to have a truly powerful desktop at your disposal. Apple hit it out of the park with this one, if you're on the fence, hop over to the dark side and give this puppy a try out, you will not be disappointed!

I purchased the Apple Mac mini Desktop (Latest Model, M4 Chip, 16GB Memory, 256GB SSD) from Best Buy for $698, and I couldn’t be happier with this incredible little machine. First off, the size and design are mind-blowing. It’s incredibly small and sleek, fitting seamlessly into my office workspace without taking up much room. Despite its compact form, this device is a true powerhouse. The M4 chip ensures lightning-fast performance, whether I’m multitasking, editing videos, or running other high performance applications. The 16GB of memory and 256GB SSD provide ample speed and storage for my daily tasks. I was pleasantly surprised by how effortlessly it handles everything I throw at it, all while staying whisper-quiet. At $698, this Mac mini offers phenomenal value for the performance and build quality it delivers. It’s perfect for anyone looking for a high-performing desktop that doesn’t break the bank or take up too much space. Highly recommended for those in need of a powerful, efficient, and beautifully designed computer!

I decided to replace my MacBook Air with this and a 13" iPad and I'm really glad that I did. I've been a Mac Mini fan for years, but grew tired of the old design. When I saw this new one, I immediately snapped one up. I love the small footprint, the plethora of USB-C and Thunderbolt ports and the power of the M4 and 16 gigs of RAM. At this price point, the Mac Mini is an absolute bargain. It's super quiet, blazing fast, and will last for years. I do not care that the power button is on bottom, I put mine to sleep and rarely turn it on anyway.

As an owner of the 2018 Mac mini i5, I wanted to upgrade to Apple's new technology. The Mac mini M4 is very small. See the picture showing the size difference. Not all software has been compiled to run natively on the M4 RISC processor. But, the mini is super fast and interpreting doesn't slow it down. A reboot takes about 2 seconds. I'm glad I got it, I like the thing. If I were to do it again, I'd get the top of the line (i.e. most cores, most RAM.) If you don't already have something like this, the Insignia 7-Port USB-C Hub is recommended to purchase with this M4 Mac mini.

Its fast and small offering great performance for the price. The built in speakers are pretty good despite the size. You need to use an HDMI to thunderbolt (USB type C) for most monitors as a thunderbolt to thunderbolt created issues for me. The monitor would randomly flicker. This problem was solved by getting the correct cable. Not the computers fault. Only comes with power cable no display cable whatsoever. No USB ports only thunderbolt so be sure to buy adapter cable if your not intending to use an apple mouse and keyboard or USB type c mouse and keyboard. You can also play lower end/ older games decently well. This is a great computer. I would recommend it to someone who enjoys the mac OS over windows but doesnt want to pay macbook prices.

The Mac Mini (M4) is a compact powerhouse that fits perfectly into my workflow as a data analyst and business owner. Its performance with the M4 chip is outstanding, handling multitasking, analytics, and light video editing effortlessly. The design is sleek, setup was quick, and the variety of ports makes it incredibly versatile. Buying from Best Buy made the experience even better. Their knowledgeable staff, price match guarantee, and same-day delivery were fantastic. The Mac Mini (M4) delivers unmatched value, and I’m thrilled with my purchase.

I love the mac mini M4 because its compact and essy to use. Had a macbook pro that i gave my daughter and now am hapoy woth the mini. Very powerful dmall machine.

The new Apple-Mini Mac-M4 was a good purchase for the power and the price. I have no negative remarks so far. I am running Adobe Light Room and Photo Shop with no problems. I bought the basic model because I have a number of external drives to take care of any additional disk space issues.

Absolutely love this little box. For the price, nothing comes close to beating it either for light workflow, gaming, or media production. It’s the first ever mac product I have ever boughten and I think they’ve got a recurring customer. The base $599 model is the best value in electronics.

I was waiting and waiting for the new M4 Mac Mini. I pre-ordered it from Apple but something kept going wrong with the order. I went on Best Buy’s website and it said that my local Best Buy had one in stock the day after it was released. I placed my order and picked it up soon after. This Mac is awesome. Small form factor and lighting fast. Not a ton of cables to worry about either. Thank you Best Buy.

My daily driver for music production, work, and photo and video editing. I still find it insane that there’s so much power packed into a computer that fits in the palm of your hand. Since it is so small, you can place it anywhere on a desk, counter, etc. and it will barely take up any space.

This computer kicks butt. I did add a nice Ivanky hub so I could make the most of the ports. This thing is tiny, fast, and perfect for a 2nd computer that does everything well outside of gaming. I have another PC for that.

I have been a Windows user all my life...suddenly the motherboard of a pretty decent creator laptop burnt up...so I decided to try this...it is the best PC performance wise that I have ever had. It blows my i7 13th generation, 6GB Nvidia GeForce out of the water...no regrets at all. It just works, especially for photo editing and YouTube quality video renderings. There is a small learning curve for the macOS, but I am all in now. Runs cool at 60 degrees too.

It’s great It “just works” Great bang for buck Best stats for its size and price

I’ve owned iMacs forever but after 10 years, they are obsolete but still working well. Beautiful monitors that can’t be used, so I’m trying the mini route. I have it hooked up to a dual monitor setup and it runs everything nicely. I’m thinking investing into one more really nice monitor and then switching out the mini every 3 years or so. I do a lot of photography and content creation, and this is definitely a speedy little cruncher.

By far the best value for the money. When you already have two 27” 4K LG displays, and your own keyboard and mouse, this Mac Mini is a no-brainer. Light gaming, web surfing, light video editing, and audio mixing is a breeze. Plus I run Windows 11 via Parallels, and even at the lowest specs, Windows runs fantastic. Plus its small form factor means I can keep it hidden and out of the way. I honestly don’t have a negative thing to say about this device.

Superb little machine. I added an external 4Tb SSD in a USB4/TB4 case and USB/SDcard hub. And I have everything I want/need The external drive does reads @3100/Mbps, writes @3000/Mbps the internal does reads @2400Mbps, writes @2100/Mbps So avoiding the Apple SSD tax has a GREAT performance benefit. Connected External USB monitor. My Mini is connected to "Razer BlackWidow v4 Pro 75%" keyboard, an awesome combination. U3 SD cards read at close to 1000Mbps. Performs superbly.

The Apple Mac Mini is a compact powerhouse. It delivers fast performance, seamless multitasking, and excellent graphics for work or entertainment. The sleek design saves space, and it integrates smoothly with Apple’s ecosystem. Whether for productivity or creativity, this mini desktop is a great investment for Mac users.

Excellent value for money. Fast machine, impeccable Apple quality. Great purchase.
