    The mighty mini

    I decided to replace my MacBook Air with this and a 13" iPad and I'm really glad that I did. I've been a Mac Mini fan for years, but grew tired of the old design. When I saw this new one, I immediately snapped one up. I love the small footprint, the plethora of USB-C and Thunderbolt ports and the power of the M4 and 16 gigs of RAM. At this price point, the Mac Mini is an absolute bargain. It's super quiet, blazing fast, and will last for years. I do not care that the power button is on bottom, I put mine to sleep and rarely turn it on anyway.

    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.

    Compact, smooth, and great value for money

    Its a small 5x5 desktop computer that compact enough it fits in any limited space. And for such great value for money for an Apple product. Even after playing some games on it such as Asphalt 8+ you hardly hear any noise coming from it. It runs smooth, quiet, and is very responsive when opening apps. It excels at productivity tasks Web browsing, listening to music, watching movies, shows. This is a great entry point into macOS and a great deal for those who don't want to end up spending more then $1k for a macbook or imac. Another plus is you can easily connect it to 3rd party accessories including monitors especially if you use both windows and mac. Another bonus with this is the ability to upgrade the storage with third party accessories, something you cannot do on other macs. This is by far the most affordable and customizable mac in the lineup. Only few complaints was getting some files migrated from my old windows pc C drive to this took a few misses. I wind up having to create a separate user admin profile and then migrating over documents. Do remember if your ever going to migrate data from Windows to Mac make sure firewall is OFF on windows so that the data transfer is smooth. And the inability to shut down the mac from the lock screen is another complaint I have. But overall a great product and entry point into macOS.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    This little machine is a powerhouse! One of the best purchases for the price. I use this for work and messing around with small local LLM models. Just make sure to pick up ann external ssd and ssd housing. Save the money instead of paying the apple tax for the storage. I thought about getting the max pro but for how powerful this device is and my uses it’s not worth the extra. I even put mine in a little case so the power button is on the side.

    Great desktop computer. Using it to pair with my MacBook Pro and not having to plug and unplug from my desk. More than worth the price point. Only quirk was that you needed a mac keyboard and mouse (luckily I had one) to set up.

    This computer kicks butt. I did add a nice Ivanky hub so I could make the most of the ports. This thing is tiny, fast, and perfect for a 2nd computer that does everything well outside of gaming. I have another PC for that.

    Mac Mini M4 is great starter Mac. I’m using for Final Cut Pro, Adobe AE, Illustrator and other Adobe apps. I did buy an external 26TB storage but other than that this Mac renders my videos quickly and I haven’t had any issues whatsoever.

    Perfect Mac. It was wise to choose the M4 instead of the M3. Don't get me wrong, the M3 is also a powerhouse, but the port distribution and clean performance in this model are fantastic. Best performance per dollar in the market. I also wanted to say that the Best Buy experience was immaculate. (I purchased it 7 months ago)
