Lots of power in such a small computer! Fantastic device, Apple owner for years first Mac mini…super impressed! Recommend doing a SSD upgrade tho, only complaint is the size and cost of upgrading unless you do it yourself.

The facts: The value of a good-performing machine that uses all of the processor cores is not purchaseable in the Windows world. The processing power of a Mac is unparalleled for the home user. And, for this reason one expects to pay top dollar for a Mac. In fact, the idea of an affordable Mac is often scoffed at. That is why I could not resist the purchase of a Mac mini. It is the sweet combination of price and value that made this purchase irresistible.

Apple, as always, designs spectacular products. The performance of the M4 processor is spectacular. I bought it with 24MB of RAM. This is important because of the changes in the new operating systems that are coming out. You can always have great performance for a long time. The 24-month credit option from Bestbuy allowed me to buy a computer with more RAM and I pay for it monthly.

This is a great little computer. It's fast, quiet, and sips power. If you don't need a laptop but want a Mac, you can't go wrong with the value packed into this little unit.

Owned it for a few months now. It's faster than my M1 Studio and handles all weird perusing and data tasks well. I also run Windows 11 via Parallels and had no isuues. Only thing i don't like is the placent of the power button, but i only touch that once a day. Highly recommended!

Upgrading from MacBook Pro intel 2019 with eight gigs of ram with little storage is a huge upgrade and is so silent and worth the upgrade

A few weeks into my experience with it (specs: M4, 512GB internal SSD, 24GB memory), overall a great desktop computer and very happy with the purchase. I would like to give it more than 4 stars, but I don't think it earns a full 5 stars. Some observations:
> ethernet-based data transfer/migration from previous Intel-based Mac mini with a 10GB ethernet port seemed slow; had expected it to be much quicker
> otherwise, migration worked as expected
> while there was significant performance improvement across most applications in previous desktop, not all saw this (e.g. not much perceived with MS apps)
> I would have preferred the audio jack to be in the back to connect to exterior speakers
> appreciate the two USB-C ports in the front but would have liked to see at least an additional USB-A port in the back
> setting up Time Machine with external SanDisk SSD was problematic (formatting failure a couple of times, but eventually worked ok); periodically, I still get an error/failure message on backups (setup for daily)
> occasionally, wired keyboard (from Macally) doesn't register first key press as if it had gone to sleep; this never happened with previous Mac mini
> as (almost) always, excellent Apple customer service support
> surprisingly, runs much cooler than previous Mac mini
> price-wise, the incremental costs for the internal SSD and memory upgrades frankly almost seem onerous, particularly when compared to options for other competing desktops

This is the perfect small Mac computer if you just need to do basic things like watch videos and browse the Internet, but it can also do very powerful tasks like encode video and graphics.

The latest Mac Mini with the M4 and M4 Pro chips is an absolute powerhouse in an unbelievably compact design. Apple has once again pushed the boundaries of performance and efficiency, delivering blistering speeds with its 10-core CPU and GPU while maintaining whisper-quiet operation. The sleek, reduced 5x5-inch footprint makes it perfect for any workspace, and the addition of front-facing USB-C ports adds much-needed convenience. Whether you're a creative professional, a developer, or just someone who appreciates top-tier technology, the Mac Mini delivers desktop-class power with unmatched versatility. At its price point, it’s easily one of the best value computers on the market today, proving that small can still be mighty.

I replaced my M1 Max Mac Studio with the Mac Mini M4. I had some concerns for loss of performance, but took a chance.
My Mac Studio had 32 GB RAM while my new Mac Mini M4 has 24 GB.
No issues in performance. The Mac Mini M4 performs flawlessly with single CPU tasks such as web browsing & launching application having a more responsive result.
