    You absolutely cannot beat the price for a Mac mini, the performance to prices ratio is wild. As a mobile software developer I spent years developing on MacBook airs, this year I decided to scoop this up and I couldn't be happier. It does everything I need it to do. I can run a small llm when I need a coding buddy in vscode, or I'm running two or three iOS sims in Xcode for swftUI development. If you're wondering if this little machine is enough to handle it? Just pick it up, you won't regret it. Too many "influencers" out there trying to make you spend more money than you should.

    I bought it for my girlfriend as a gift, and she absolutely loves it. From how compact it is, and that she can still do what she wants to do on it, from surfing the web to video editing, she says it really is amazing.

    You’d be hard pressed to beat the value per performance of this machine across any brand’s product line - especially when it’s on sale at Best Buy. My only gripe would be the inability to install Linux on bare metal - and that’s when I turn to the other mini pc companies.

    Small size but powerful for all my needs. Connects easily to monitor with provided thunderbolt C cable or an HDMI cable. Has USB C ports for keyboard and mouse or go Wireless. If you have USB A devices, you can buy a adapter at Best Buy. My mini was assembled in Vietnam, so the tariffs may not be high as China.

    Perfect for a TV. Has such a small footprint it's great for a TV. I have two both hooked up to my TV's and once you do that you will never go back to using a smart TV. The Macmini is a must.

    Great computer especially for the price. The only two negatives I have found is if you want to play steam games on it many will not play because the M4 is not compatible with the older games that are Mac compatible. Secondly it has limited storage capacity but that is easily upgraded.

    Great price. Great specs. Super quiet. Does everything I want from my Mac, at the right price. I would appreciate a couple more ports. But there are aftermarket options.

    What sums up this new generation of mac mini is form factor Design style speed and functionality. M4 chip power and 16gb ram with small footprint. But be sure to have a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse since it doesnt have any usb A ports for most dongle accessories and prepherials

    I've been a system admin for over 40 years. I've used almost all of the operating systems that were sold on the market. I'm a long term Microsoft fan, Linux developer, and for a short time Apple consumer. The M4 Mac Mini (Base model in my case), is one of the most exceptional products I have ever had the privilege of using. Goodbye Windows 11 (24H2 has been a disaster). The performance and ease of use with this new Mac Mini is unparalleled in my personal and professional opinion. I even run Microsoft products on the device (Office 365, Edge, Teams, and Microsoft Defender). I could go on and on. Currious? Watch Youtube! This is an exciting solution at an incredibly reasonable price point for the average consumer.

    This little machine has a lot of oomph for the price. 16GB of RAM should be sufficient for most general tasks, and even though the storage is a bit meager at 256 GB, it's easy to add an external drive.

    I love it. Get the MacBook or IMac experience at a great price. You don’t have to purchase all the high gadgets. I got a mouse, hdmi, and keyboard and the hookup for about 50$. Using my tv as the monitor. I love it
