It's a Mac mini! Replaced a 2012 Mac Mini with this M4 base model. I have only heard the fan spin up if I'm ripping a Blu-Ray while encoding another video with Handbrake. Otherwise in use as a Plex Media Server it serves and transcodes 4K content silently. It also, mercifully, didn't have macOS 26 so I don't have to look at Liquid Glass design language. This sits as a headless unit for me, but hasn't let me down and I don't anticipate it will for quite some time. Price matched down to four hundred to match Micro Center on sale after Christmas.

Small,practical and easy to set up and use I’m happy with the results of this desktop mini computer.

Just amazing for such a small device. It sits silently, but it is a power horse that can tackle anything I throw at it.

I recently picked one up, and it's been quite the game changer for me. I love its compact size. It's seriously like this little powerhouse that fits right into my workspace without taking up much room at all. I can easily tuck it into my desk setup, and it looks super sleek. Setting it up was a breeze, too. I'm not the most tech-savvy person, but the process was pretty straightforward. I plugged it into my monitor, connected the keyboard and mouse, and it was practically ready to go. Everything runs so smoothly. I've been editing photos and streaming videos without any issues, which is pretty amazing considering how small this thing is.

So far, so good. Set up was a small challenge but the Apple service folks were outstanding. Once they helped me get going, all is well. A little learning curve changing over from MS but well worth it. If you are thinking of switching from the Microsoft monarchy, DO IT! You will not be sorry. The previous comments are in regard to PC itself. As for the Best Buy team, the first person I dealt with was a little distant and uninterested in assisting me. However, a young man came to my aid and helped me tremendously. He saved the sale as I was on the verge of leaving to seek purchase elsewhere.

had an old pc tower so this is amazing! easy to install and use and is fast. purchased on sale which made it easier for me to decide to update my old pc

I love my little Mac Mini. I bought it mainly for email that I don't know what it is. I had an email take out my PC and Apple can't get viruses. But it is totally fast! And so compact. I was able to boost it to 1tb with the addition of an external hard drive that is the same exact size and mounts to the bottom of it. It also gives me 2 aditional USB plug ins. If you want a fast, awesome, compact computer, you need a Mac Mini. Highly recommend it.

The Mac Mini 4 is a powerhouse in a sleek, compact design. It delivers lightning-fast performance for everything from multitasking to creative projects, stays whisper-quiet! 16gb ram as standard is amazing!!! Does everything you need it to do!

This is for the lowest-end version of the mini. I replaced an older M1 mini with this one. I was surprised by how small the new Mac mini is compared to the previous models. I already had a high-speed external 1TB Flash drive and a 2TB USB hard drive as a backup drive, so a larger internal Flash drive was not needed. The switch from 8GB to 16GB RAM was welcome. The switch to all USB-C interfaces was also welcome, but it meant I had to use a couple of USB-A to USB-C adaptor plugs for my existing devices. The upgrade process was painless and only took a few minutes. The significant speed bump from the M1 to M4 was immediately noticeable. I have owned Mac computers since 1985. They have been the most reliable electronic devices I have ever owned.

This is my 3rd Mac Mini to date. I love the small size and modular architecture. My prior Mini was a 32Gb Intel 2018 mini, which was obsoleted with the latest OS update. My biggest complaint about this and prior Mini's is the difficulty & cost in upgrading. Apple charges an unreasonable premium for even small incremental increases in size to the disc - an update that cannot be done by users w/o voiding the warranty. To mitigate that, I also bought a Crucial SSD to fit in an external Satechi USB-C Docking station. My plan is to make this external disc the new boot disc. It sure isn't as easy to do today as it was when I bought my first Mac SE!

Super great value for a great price. Everything works really well and is a huge upgrade from my 7-year-old PC. Storage is lacking, but not a big deal if you connect an external hard drive to it. The build quality is also really great.

No regrets, works really well. Easy to set up. With an add-on docking station with external ssd, saves some money compared to getting a higher RAM

Great computer! Handles workload and processing well, great for office use and versatile. Also very compact and works well in small office spaces.

Amazing value for a small desktop usage. M4 chip has plenty of power to deliver consistent performance for daily usage. I bought it to be my personal photo editing rig with multiple hard drives plugged into it. When i first got it, it seem fine but after couple weeks I started to experience problems. HDMI to HDMI is a problem for me, for some reason it causes the Mac Mini to restart every time I typed my password to log in. I tried multiple cables but not one seemed to work until i ordered a high bandwith usb c to hdmi cable. Worked for a week and started experiencing an issue where it would restart every every time i finish entering my pw to log in. it got to the point where i had to request a return. On top of that when I ordered from Bestbuy online, the person who processed my order at the warehouse scanned one of the other numbers instead of the serial number. I couldn't return it in store through geek squad but instead i had to ship it back to best buy. Hopefully I get my refund so I can either purchase it again or buy an m4 mb air instead.

Great apple product!!! Fast , easy to set up and use. Takes up less space than my old MacBook

the Apple Mac Mini M4 is pretty solid it got sleek design and powerful performance. great it fast and efficient plus. the high resolution support and multiple ports are also pretty cool.

Can handle quite a bit. It’s not perfect yet it performs better than my older 2020 MacBook Pro which I spent 3k on. Shop around use price match micro center. This mac mini is shockingly fast on day to day task and can handle multi core loads with moderation. Invest in a Thunderbolt external hard drive! It will be worth it. Using with a Samsung 55” OLED DISPLAY @ 4K 120hz runs smooth.

Upgraded from M2 and the performance is noticeably fast. Love the compact design. Wish it had couple of USB 3 ports.

These Mac Minis are extremely powerful for their size. I didn’t expect it to be so small. I have an older model twice the size and with less power.

Small, quiet, and breezes through every task. Apple is greedy on storage, but easily addressed with inexpensive, 3rd party, solutions.
