    Great, but some design disappointments.

    This is my second Mac Mini, so obviously I’m a fan. I love the small size and overall function of these computers. I am a bit disappointed in the design vs the M2 that I have. There are multiple usb ports, but they are all usb C. You need an adapter to use a usb A flash drive - which all of mine are. Same if you happen to use a corded keyboard or mouse. They also moved the power switch to the bottom. This means you have to tilt the machine up to power it on. And they also gave the little “powered on” light a white cover so at a glance it looks like it’s on (not as bright obviously) when it’s not. I still would buy it again - no doubt. But I would have expected a newer model’s design changes to be improvements, not irritations.

    This Mac mini is a great desktop. Powerful performance in a tiny package. Especially great for situations where you have limited space in a built in desk setting.

    Incrediblely small and equally powerful. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a Mac desktop. If you need to do video editing, a more powerful M4 Pro model would be a better option. For serious gaming, a Windows PC is better.

    Powerhouse with a small footprint

    I've customarily been an iMac, MacBook Air user but when I researched the specs on the new Mac mini it was a no brainer of an upgrade. I went ultra low end with the base model no upgrades, then added some external SSD's. Numerous YouTube videos demonstrated the power of the M4 chip in even the base configuration and it was a game changer. I did see some videos showing how they changed their home folder to an external SSD but I opted to stay with factory setting and just manage installs manually. I did find the original Bungie classic marathon games to play. So much fun.

    Great little unit. When i saw the sale price at $480, I finally bit. Its been years I have been having old hand me downs repaired only to be disappointed that not even garage band would work. Brought this thing home, I have managed to make a couple songs, edit some videos and some photos for christmas presents. Ties in with my ipad perfectly! I also love the base option for expandable storage (aftermarket).

    As we post Apple products, this is a great computer. It’s amazing how much power they got packed in this little thing. This is really all you need unless you’re doing heavy, audio video editing, and even this can handle that. I currently used it as a server in my home and enjoy that flexibility.

    The small form factor of the M4 MacMini makes the device look sleek and easy to place. The MacMini in general allow me to customize my desktop to my liking. I get to choose the peripherals I like. This MacMini is versatile, fast and power. The best MacMini yet.

    The Mac mini M4 is an excellent choice I made for my home media server, offering a powerful yet incredibly power-efficient solution. The new M4 chip includes a robust media engine . This is a huge advantage for Plex server , as it allows for smooth, multi-stream 4K transcoding without a significant performance hit.

    I updated this M4 from M2, up with processor and 16 G memory. The new one has a better design, small, and cool design. It sit down there quietly, even not any noise not like PC like Dell/Lenov. The only inconvenience is the position of power button. It is underneath but it is ok since most time I leave it on and do not use the power much,

    Awesome high power computer stuffed into an amazingly small box! This thing is a major bargain in the basic configuration. I added a 1TB SSD internal card in an external enclosure to increase memory. I highly recommend this.

    Not a Mac person at all. Bought this on sale for my daughter to create a plex media server for her She is Mac only. I had trouble learning the Mac because, well, I am a pc guy. Does seem to work well. I did notice that one video that came out darker then it should. Still trying to learn how best to optimize video's on the Mac

    This Mac is a little beast, fierce and unforgiving in its relentless hunt of computation, devouring codes like a wild predator. This machine is obsessed with downloading and running programs, so much so I almost had it committed. But how would they put a straight jacket on it? Instead of putting anyone in harms way I decided I would just keep it myself. Besides, it already has an imprint bond, I doubt it could be released into the wild or even survive on its on.
