    I have been a full-time Mac user since 2014 when I started developing iOS apps. I''ve used MacBook Pros until now. After reading the specs and reviews, I decided to get the new Mac Mini. I paired it with the blue tooth keyboard and magic mouse that are both almost 10 years old themselves. I do photo editing, so bought a ProArt monitor. Perfect combination. This "desktop" computer is amazing. I got the 16GB / 512GB SSD. Its fast and I can run all of my applications on it to include Adobe Suite, Microsoft, and XCode. They load quickly and smoothly. I highly recommend the Mac Mini. The price point beats most other desktops with the same specs and it out performs.

    The Apple Mac mini M4 is a remarkable blend of performance, efficiency, and design. Equipped with Apple's latest M4 chip, this compact desktop handles multitasking, video editing, and demanding applications with ease. The 16GB of unified memory and 512GB SSD ensure swift operations and ample storage for everyday tasks. One of the standout features is its sleek, minimalist design. The Mac mini's small footprint makes it an excellent choice for those with limited desk space or for users seeking a clutter-free setup. Despite its size, it doesn't compromise on connectivity, offering a variety of ports to accommodate multiple peripherals. Users have praised its quiet operation, noting that even under heavy workloads, the Mac mini remains virtually silent. This makes it ideal for environments where noise can be a distraction. Additionally, the energy efficiency of the M4 chip contributes to lower power consumption, aligning with eco-friendly practices. While the base model comes with 256GB of storage, some users might find this limiting, especially when dealing with large files or extensive media libraries. However, this can be mitigated by utilizing external storage solutions, which the Mac mini supports seamlessly. In terms of value, the Mac mini M4 stands out in its price range. It delivers performance comparable to higher-priced desktops, making it a cost-effective option for both professionals and casual users. Whether you're a developer, designer, or someone seeking a reliable home computer, the Mac mini M4 offers a compelling package. Pros: Powerful M4 chip ensures smooth performance Compact and elegant design Quiet and energy-efficient operation Versatile connectivity options Excellent value for the price Cons: Limited upgradability post-purchase In conclusion, the Apple Mac mini M4 is a stellar choice for anyone seeking a high-performing, compact desktop.

    Not against the product; Poor shipping by BestBuy. Thrifty. $800 item sent in a bubble envelope. The box took all the beating during shipping. $2 toothbrush comes in a better packaging from target and elsewhere. Extremely disappointed from BestBuy. It’s not just about making customer click on submit button. It should go beyond it.

    Mac mini M4 has tiny size and mordern design. Powerful capability to run heavy tasks. Runs professional programs fast and smoothly such as Matlab and R. Runs games smoothly including League of Legends, World of Warcraft, Starcraft 2 and etc. Its price is too cheap comparing to its availabilty. However, also reminds you its price. Do not expect run those exterme task in highest level option and setting. It just runs well in medium settings not super high quality setting. Even though it is super powerful for every tasks for 99% of people including professionals.

    Surprisingly versatile machine. Despite the limit of the internal storage, this isn't really even a factor since you can use a thunderbolt 4 external drive with it. It's basically worth it just to get IMovie because you can edit 4k video without a subscription. I also remote into my windows desktop, and cross-platform software I use simply runs faster on the mac mini, despite my desktop having 64gb ram and a 7800x3d processor. The M4 is no joke. Even with the ridiculous Apple tax on storage, the computer is still cheaper than anything else you could possibly build with the same amount of power.

    M4 Mini for Home Studio Music Production: Amazing!

    M4 Mini for home studio music production is amazing. Upgraded from older MacBook Air and using Garage Band (which itself is surprisingly powerful) on which I had about 50 songs largely produced, to M4 to go to Logic. Was able immediately to transfer all my tunes to the new platform, seamlessly! Logic has more powerful tools and better workflow. The Mini is tiny, actually hides behind my monitor stand. Silent, runs cool. Very fast. Backups to a 2 TB external drive take seconds or minutes (not hours as on my MacBook Air).

    I recently switched to the Apple Mac mini M4 with 512GB, and I’m really impressed! It’s small, powerful, and perfect for my needs. The 5 USB-C ports are a big plus. I can easily connect multiple devices, and everything transfers data super fast. The M4 chip is smooth and handles everything without slowing down. Plus, with 512GB of storage, there’s plenty of space for my files. The size is amazing. It's incredibly compact, so it fits easily on my desk without taking up much room, but still delivers plenty of power. It's perfect for small spaces. If you need a powerful, space-saving desktop with great connectivity, this is a great choice. Highly recommend!

    Mighty Minnie Mac 4

    Apple has finally realized there are a lot of us that want Mac's but don't want to pay unreasonable prices. The cost, power and size of this Macintosh makes it a great value. If you need more RAM, that's when it gets less reasonable in my opinion. Best Buy's trade in allowance on my Minnie M2 was the deal maker for me to get this. I don't care about the power button position as it's always on for me. Reboots are done via software. It's very powerful, the additional ports are enough for me, I connect mine with Ethernet, so that's a huge plus. Just an awesome Macintosh! Personally I put my Mac on the network and remote into it from my Windows laptop. Having both O/Ss available to me has been a great help in my IT course designing and teaching. Since it was at a reasonable price I could do it.

    Love the speed of the processors and the size on my desk. I bought this to replace a 2011 version I had. i have had issues with needing to unplug and replug my devices. The wireless apple mouse. And a logotech keboard. So I went back to the wired keyword with an apple adapter, still disconnects frequently. Not a big issue, for the speed & size. I have been using apple products since 2012.
