Customer Ratings & Reviews

I use this Mac mini for video editing and it performs flawlessly. The M4 pro chip is fast, the 24GB of memory makes multitasking smooth, and everything runs efficiently. Excellent value for professionals.

The M4 Pro is an upgrade from my previous M2 Pro and so far I can say that I'm very impressed with the new model. The size is tiny compared to the M2 model but very quick and is in fact more powerful than the M2 Pro. That's not to say there aren't some challenges in getting it. First, there are no USB-A ports, they're gone. If you have legacy equipment that use USB-A ports then you will either have to use a hub or use an adapter. I bought an adapter for my Apple SuperDrive so that it can connect directly to the Mini which is the only way it'll work. Second, I have a HD, a webcam and a printer that need USB-A ports. I have 2 HUBs that have internal storage made for the M2 Mac Mini but are still usable with the M4 Mac Mini. Everything works just as it should. All in all I'm very pleased with the new M4 Mac mini. For my needs it is overkill but that also means I won't feel the need to upgrade for a very long time, if ever.

The Mac Mini M4 Pro is straight-up a sleeper powerhouse. As a comedian who also edits video, records podcasts, and manages a bunch of projects, this thing handles it all without breaking a sweat. Final Cut Pro runs like a dream — even with multiple camera angles, effects, and audio tweaks happening at once. It chews through exports like it’s bored. The best part? It’s dead silent. No fans kicking in, no heat pumping out — just smooth, quiet performance. That matters when I’m recording voiceovers or working late at night and don’t want a jet engine on my desk. I pair it with my Sony ZV-1 and an ATEM Mini or use OBS with a plug-in that records each source separately, and it handles all that without flinching. No hiccups, no lag, just clean workflow from start to finish. If you want desktop-level power without the bulk or the Mac Studio price tag, the M4 Mac Mini is a no-brainer. It’s compact, cool, and crazy fast — perfect for content creators, performers, or anyone who needs pro tools in a clean setup.

Whisper quiet machine that is a powerhouse. I use the Mac mini mostly to build iOS apps with Xcode as well as some small production projects with Logic Pro X. This gets the job done and then some. I know they say the base model Mac mini is great, but I'm so glad I got this one. 24 months financing through Best Buy is a no brainer.

Switched from using a Windows based (Core I9/RTX 3080) to this for music production. Absolutely awesome machine. No noise at all. Handles everything perfectly.

This thing rips! Supports my 240mhz gaming monitor and my 2 office monitors . Graphics are stunning and it's amazingly easy to set up. Ladtly , it talks and integrates with your phone so well, you dont need it on you.

Love this new mac mini! Its a BEAST in such a small box! (5 x 5 x 2 inches) I highly recommend this! Can easily take this anywhere on rhe go.

Great performance in a tiny little package. Huge improvement over the M1 Mac mini especially in heavy duty tasks. Slightly larger in size than the Apple TV. Built-in power supply.

For the price, this is hands down the best machine I’ve owned. I use it for editing photos and video. Would highly recommend to any other creator.

Best computer I ever had. Compact, powerful future proofed .

I wanted to move away from laptop but still wanted something smaller than a full desktop.

Coming from a 2010 Mac Pro this is a dream. More than enough power. I probably should have went with the base model.

So far, so good. Although, either FedEx or Best Buy had an issue with shipping because the box showed up damaged and the bottom of the machine was popped out in two places. Other than that, machine runs flawlessly and really helps my workflow!

Powerful and efficient. Thunderbolt 5. Works great with tb3 docks and drives I already had.

Device has been working great. I use its for work and emulating some old games and its been working like a champion.

Loving the New Mac Mini M4 Pro. Im running 3 Monitors and it is working great. The smaller size is nice. Very happy with this product.

Thanks for packing my $1,400 computer just thrown in a box loose, with zero packing material. Great job Best Buy.

I upgraded my Mac Studio M1 to this M4 Pro Mac mini. For my use cases this computer seems a bit faster and I haven't missed a thing from my old Mac Studio. I love the small size and light weight. I never hear the fans on this unit as it runs whisper quiet (even when the fans are spinning). Running Mac OS on this unit is buttery smooth. Have not had any issues/lockups since I spun this up. I restored a backup from my MacBook Pro and saved all of those setup nightmares. Love this computer!

This is my first mac as a longtime windows user- this machine is used exclusively for audio engineering/music production. No matter how many tracks, plugins, virtual instruments, etc I have going at the same time (Ableton live 12 + apollo x4), I have not been able to slow this thing down. This is a crazy powerful computer, especially for the physical footprint. Downsides: Only one hdmi out- you'll need a hub/dock or adapters to use multiple monitors, and none of the options for this are even remotely cheap No usb-a ports No upgrade capability for memory or internal storage, versions with more of either or both skyrocket the price (pro tip, pair this with the satechi stand & hub with the nvme enclosure) Overall a big ole 9/10 for me, it's a powerhouse.

I am absolutely blown away by the new Mac mini M4. The size is unbelievably compact, taking up almost no desk space, yet the performance is massive. Apps launch instantly, and it handles heavy multitasking effortlessly without breaking a sweat. It is also remarkably quiet and cool to the touch even under load. If you want a clean, minimalist setup with desktop-class power, this is the one to get. Highly recommended, and great shopping experience with Best Buy!
