    Great deal! Best Buy Price matched MicroCenter, offering this at $499! For the power, it can't be beat. It's such a tiny computer that it has remade me think my desk layout and made me willing to ditch one of my laptops given its smooth performance. I also snagged a cheap LG Gaming monitor from Best Buy at the same time and it connects and works flawlessly. I wasn't sure if the M4 could handle the super high refresh rate on the gamin monitor but it does so with no hiccups. Overall, I had a Mac mini many years ago and never saw much point in getting another one, but the value of this with the 16gb of ram and strong performance changed my mind. I just keep a portable drive plugged into it at all times for extra storage. Don't pay the Apple Tax for just a little more storage, just use your own drives. It's a desktop.

    I recently picked up the basic new Mac mini for my office setup, and it’s honestly one of the best decisions I’ve made for productivity. Even the base model feels incredibly fast — apps open instantly, multitasking is smooth, and it handles all of my day-to-day office tasks without breaking a sweat. What I love most: • Compact and quiet: It takes up almost no space on my desk, and it’s completely silent even when I’m running multiple apps. • Great for office workflows: Email, spreadsheets, CRM systems, video calls — everything runs flawlessly. • Surprisingly strong for leisure: For downtime, it handles streaming, light photo editing, and casual gaming with zero issues. • Easy multi-monitor setup: Connecting it to my monitors was straightforward, and the picture quality is extremely sharp.

    This tiny computer is amazing—and for the price, it can't be beat! After a lifetime of using Windows PCs, I finally made the switch, and I couldn't be happier. The Mac Mini is incredibly quiet and powerful. It actually took me a while to get used to not hearing fans constantly running in the background! While there's a bit of a learning curve for anyone new to macOS, give it some time and you'll be thrilled with your decision. It's a fantastic computer at a great value.

    Nice Job Apple (it’s been a little while)

    Nice product by Apple. I have all Apple devices, and I have a few. This is the first one I really liked in a while. It’s fast, it’s small, it looks clean. I really think Apple did a good thing with the MacMini . I definitely recommend it. I have it hooked up to my Pioneer 43” I got a couple weeks ago with Best Buy. It works seamlessly with the television. I would check if your TV is compatible before hand. This is a must have if you’re like me and have 4 HDMI’s and are gonna use all of em! I really don’t know why someone would buy another desk top if they’re into Apple.

    I've read a lot of reviews, watched a lot of videos about this product, and I have no regrets, specially becaus I got it on sale, and its regular price is not bad at all either, very light weight, really good to use it as a desktop computer, even though if you love to travel and you need hugu performance this device gives it to you and you can set it up really fast. I can use my ipad air m3 as a monitor as well, so you can find different setup ways and will work pretty good! I also got an external drive to avoid to go up with the mac mini price , you save more money like that. Super quite device when it's running heavy tasks.

    The Mac mini is so perfect* Takes up less room then a regular computer it’s compact and it’s fast no big towers to find space for all you need is a table top and a monitor. Mouse and keyboard then your good to go, this little mini is an Apple computer by all standards as good as one costing over $1,000 no issues! leave a monitor at work one at home and just plug and go compact for home and work small enough to put in a brief case and take with you the same awesome apps and features of a full size Apple desk top or laptop

    I've gone back and forth between getting a MacMini OR continue to use my MacBook Pro as a desktop solution. Basically, did I want to continue plugging/unplugging the USB-C and HDMI cables everyday on my MacBook? The answer was NO. Almost a year later, I decided to pick-up the latest base model MacMini M4. I've been using it for almost a month. Performance: I have not experienced any performance issues when comparing it to my MacBook Pro M3 Pro. I've used the MacMini for photo editing, Xcode, Android Studio, my work virtual desktop, playing music, web browsing all at the same time without issues. I underestimated the performance of the base M-series chips. The Pro chip models will most likely be needed for heavier loads like video editing and large 3d design. I've tested the following monitors separately: LG 4K Ultragear 27GP950, LG Ultrafine 22MD4KA, and Dell 34in -S3423DWC. I had no issues with any of the monitors. Storage: I haven't had any issues with the base model storage because of my external storage. Size/Form Factor/Other: The MacMini is incredibly small and quiet. I think I heard the fan once when I decided to run a bunch of applications at once to see how far I can push the MacMini. Yeah, the power button is on the bottom. It's not a big deal for me. I'm very satisfied with the purchase of the MacMini. I no longer worry about the wear and tear on my MacBook Pro's ports. MacBook Pro is still being used as intended... a portable device. If you are looking for a small form factor desktop for basic web browsing to photo editing to light programming, this little guy might be what you need.

    Just got my Mac mini and I’m already impressed by how compact yet powerful it feels. Setup was super easy, and it fits perfectly on my desk without taking up space. I haven’t fully explored everything yet, but I can already tell this is going to streamline my workflow and help me stay organized. Looking forward to diving in more!

    Possibly The Best Apple Computer Ever

    I've been a PC person since the 70's. As of June '25, I finally became a Mac user. Don't shy away some it's compactness. Processing is fast. Video is sharp, crisp. The audio is very impressive. The M4 can also support most Google apps, and with a 3rd party product, you can run windows apps. YouTube videos can provide lots of help. I used cloud services to copy PC data files to the M4. Warning: The M4 does not come with any input devices. I connected an existing keyboard and mouse. But have upgraded to the latest Logitech S series mouse and keyboard. I'm thinking about a touchpad. I've added a expansion device with additional USB ports, a 2nd HDMI port, NVMe port, and micro sim card slots. Overall, the Mini M4 is a great "starter" system, containing more power than most users will ever need. Customize it for you particular needs. And the Mini is so quiet. No loud PC fans.

    Small but mighty. Needed to replace an older Mac desktop computer. Reviewed and compared the iMac vs Mac Mini options. Already had a large monitor. This unit was the more powerful better value. Smaller desktop footprint. But requires a hub or dock to expand ports and add potential memory.

    Amazing little machine. I this does everything I need to do from Photo editing, video editing, and other tasks it does it all seamlessly. For the price it’s hard to beat this Mac Mini M4 when it’s on sale. The one thing I recommend doing is getting an external nvme ssd enclosure and using an external 1-2 tb nvme ssd. That’s the only thing this little pc lacks is storage. Other than that it’s perfect.

    What truly sets the Mac mini apart is how much cutting-edge technology and performance it delivers without a premium price tag. At an impressively accessible starting price, it packs remarkable power into a tiny, energy-efficient design. With outstanding performance per dollar, Apple’s M4 silicon proves itself as one of the most compelling desktop chips of 2025.

    The new Mac mini with the M4 chip is incredibly fast and efficient. It handles multitasking, creative apps, and everyday work without breaking a sweat. Startup is nearly instant, apps launch quickly, and performance stays smooth even with demanding tasks like video editing or running multiple monitors. The compact design is classic Mac mini sleek, minimal, and quiet. Despite its small size, it delivers desktop-level power, making it perfect for both home and professional use. Pairing it with Apple’s ecosystem (iPhone, iPad, AirPods) makes the experience even more seamless. The only drawback is that you’ll need to buy your own monitor, keyboard, and mouse, which can add to the cost. But overall, the performance and efficiency of the M4 chip make this one of the best value Macs available.
