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!

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 (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.

Small Desktop, Big Upgrade for Me

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 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.

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 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!

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.

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.
