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.

Good performance for a good price, I must say this is a 10/10 purchase as it is compact, soundless, powerful. It is capable to turn your productivity performative. Runs games smoothly, I do school work on it, and overall multitasking is seamless.

I’ve been using this Mac mini for about a month, and I absolutely love it. It’s super fast, very quiet, and everything runs smoothly. Internet speed is great, and I haven’t had a single issue so far. Totally worth it!

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’ve been using the Mac mini M4 for a short time now, and it’s honestly impressive how much power Apple packed into such a small, quiet machine. Performance is excellent, everything feels instant, from everyday multitasking to heavier workloads. It runs cool, silent, and handles multiple displays without breaking a sweat.
Setup was effortless, macOS is smooth as ever, and the overall build quality is exactly what you’d expect from Apple. For the size and power, this is one of the best desktop values Apple has put out in years.
I also want to highlight my great experience with Best Buy’s price match. I was able to get the price matched to Micro Center, which made the deal even better and sealed the purchase for me. The process was straightforward and hassle-free.
If you’re looking for a compact, powerful desktop and want flexibility on pricing, this is an easy recommendation. I had attached to back of apple Studio Display stand and hides easily

The Mac mini has been an excellent addition to my workspace. It delivers fast, smooth performance for everyday tasks and more demanding use, all in a compact design that fits perfectly on my desk. Everything runs efficiently, from multitasking to media use, with no lag or slowdowns.
I really appreciate how quiet and reliable it is, even during longer sessions. Setup was simple, and it integrated seamlessly with my existing accessories and display. The small footprint helps keep my workspace clean while still providing strong performance.
Overall, the Mac mini offers impressive power, reliability, and efficiency in a minimal form factor. It’s a great option for anyone looking for a dependable desktop that doesn’t take up much space.

This thing is amazing. Price point is solid, performance is amazing, and it being so small is the cherry on top. I wanted a small form factor computer to run a media server and this handles it flawlessly.

I purchased the Mac mini from Best Buy as an upgrade to my older desktop, and it has honestly exceeded my expectations. I use it daily for work that includes programming, simulations, and general productivity, and it handles everything smoothly without slowing down.
What surprised me most is how powerful it feels despite the tiny size. It sits quietly on my desk, never gets noisy, and stays cool even during long work sessions. Setup took just a few minutes, and macOS feels fast and polished right out of the box.
I already had a monitor, keyboard, and mouse, so the Mac mini was a perfect fit and saved me money compared to buying an all-in-one system. If you’re looking for a clean, reliable desktop that delivers serious performance without taking up space, this is an easy recommendation.

This Mac mini is an excellent choice for school-age kids, especially elementary through middle school. It’s fast, quiet, and incredibly easy to set up. The new M4 chip makes everything feel smooth, whether it’s homework, browsing, light creative work, or school apps.
Parental controls are simple to manage and give great peace of mind. I also love that it works seamlessly with any monitor, so you don’t need to buy extra Apple hardware to get started. Just plug it in and go.
The size is compact, the performance is impressive, and it feels like it will last for years. For the price, this is one of the best desktop options out there for families and students.
Highly recommend.

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.

The Mac mini M4 (16GB RAM, 256GB SSD) is incredibly fast and completely silent. I was honestly surprised by the performance—everyday tasks, multitasking, and development work feel instant and effortless.
What really stood out is AI performance. I ran LLMs locally for AI training and inference, and in my workloads it actually outperformed a system with an NVIDIA 4080 GPU. The performance-per-watt is unreal for a machine this small.
The 256GB SSD is very fast but realistically only enough for basic use and core apps. For anything beyond that, cloud storage or an external SSD is a must.

I recently purchased the Mac mini from Best Buy, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision! The setup was quick and smooth, and it’s incredibly compact, saving a lot of desk space compared to other desktop computers. The performance is top-notch with the M1 chip—everything from browsing to video editing runs seamlessly.

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.

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.

The Mac mini M4 is exactly what I needed. It’s small, quiet, and super easy to set up. I mainly use it for email, web browsing, and light photo editing, and it runs everything smoothly.
It’s not meant for heavy creative work, but for everyday tasks it’s fast, reliable, and a great value for the price. If you want a simple, compact desktop that just works, this is a solid choice.

This is the second Mac mini I have owned. I replaced the first one with a Mac Book about 10 years ago. Now retired I retired my Mac Book because I didn't need a laptop anymore and the Mac mini is a lot of computer for Avery good price. It is quick and has more memory and storage than I need. It is small and compact and it's not a Windows PC, which is what I always had at work and absoutley hated. Best Buy had it on sale for a good price. I am again a happy owner of a Mac mini!
