Customer Ratings & Reviews

I found the Mac mini with M4 chip incredible: compact, fast and efficient. It offers impressive performance for heavy tasks, elegant design. A powerhouse!

As an owner of the 2018 Mac mini i5, I wanted to upgrade to Apple's new technology. The Mac mini M4 is very small. See the picture showing the size difference. Not all software has been compiled to run natively on the M4 RISC processor. But, the mini is super fast and interpreting doesn't slow it down. A reboot takes about 2 seconds. I'm glad I got it, I like the thing. If I were to do it again, I'd get the top of the line (i.e. most cores, most RAM.) If you don't already have something like this, the Insignia 7-Port USB-C Hub is recommended to purchase with this M4 Mac mini.

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 Mac mini replaces an aged iMac and I am more than thrilled with the improved performance of this device. Not only is the processor much faster than the iMac, but its reduced size is a real benefit on my crowded desk. I use it for photo editing, and combined with an SS monitor I couldn’t be happier with the quality.

Really amazing for the size!!! I’m used to having a MacBook Pro and decided to grab a Mac mini M4 and it has been one of the best Mac’s I’ve ever had!! it does everything I need for recording, audio, and music production and then some.. super easy to set up and if you already on a Mac user, super easy to use.. I have already recommended it to all my friends.

I've been using the Mac Mini M4 for the past five months, and I can confidently say it's a game-changer. The speed and performance are unparalleled, and I've tested it against various performance metrics with outstanding results. It's incredibly fast, and I haven't found a single complaint. The M4 processor truly gives it an edge. Portability and connectivity are top-notch, making it a versatile choice for any setup. When it comes to gaming, it's seamless! I've played heavy-duty games like Asphalt and Call of Duty, and the performance has been flawless. In summary, the Mac Mini M4 has exceeded all my expectations!

It took longer than expected to arrive, but it was worth it. I upgraded my old iMac 2017 to this Mac mini. I'm impressed by how fast I can do my job now. It doesn't take too much space. I bought a dock to give it more ports.

The new Mac Mini M4 is a fantastic addition to any workstation. Its compact and portable design makes it incredibly convenient, yet it packs enough power to handle demanding tasks like video editing in Adobe Suite or DaVinci Resolve with ease. The performance is impressive, offering smooth and efficient workflows for creative professionals. However, the storage capacity is a bit of a disappointment. In 2025, having 256GB as the base storage feels outdated—1TB should be the standard minimum. Overall, while the device excels in portability and performance, its limited storage holds it back from perfection.

Apple Mac mini with M4 Chip The Apple Mac mini with M4 Chip delivers a remarkable blend of performance, efficiency, and compact design that makes it one of the most compelling small-form-factor desktops on the market today. Design & Build Apple has refined the Mac mini into an even smaller and more powerful machine without sacrificing its signature minimal footprint. The sleek aluminum chassis fits easily into home offices, studio desks, or tight workstations. The addition of front-facing USB-C ports improves accessibility for everyday peripherals.  Performance Powered by Apple’s M4 chip, this Mac mini handles everyday tasks with effortless speed and responsiveness — from web browsing and office apps to photo editing and light video work. Benchmarks show strong gains over previous generations in both single- and multi-core performance, and reviewers note that even demanding applications feel snappy.  Unlike many compact desktops, it stays quiet and cool during normal use, and rarely needs to ramp up the fan, making it a great choice for quiet environments like living rooms or creative studios.  Connectivity You get a versatile set of ports — including multiple Thunderbolt 4 and USB-C connectors, HDMI, Ethernet, and audio — giving you plenty of options for displays, storage, and accessories. Support for up to three external monitors makes it ideal for multitaskers and creative pros.  Real-World Use Users and reviews consistently praise the Mac mini for its smooth multitasking, strong creative performance, and excellent integration with macOS. Customer feedback highlights its fast processor and compact size, with many recommending it for both productivity and everyday home use.  Things to Consider While performance and design are big wins, a few limitations are worth noting: • Storage & RAM upgrades are pricey when configured at purchase, and internal upgrades later aren’t possible due to soldered components.  • The base 256 GB SSD is on the smaller side for modern workflows, especially if you work with large media files.  • Under sustained heavy loads, it can get louder than previous models.  Verdict The Mac mini with M4 chip is a compact powerhouse that punches well above its size class — perfect for students, creatives, and anyone wanting a capable, quiet desktop. If you want more storage or future-proofing, consider configuring a larger SSD or more RAM at purchase. Overall: (5/5)

The Apple Mac mini M4 base model is tiny and plenty powerful enough for tasks beyond everyday multitasking. I use this device to stream 1080p content from OBS studio with no difficulty with multi other programs running and tabs opened. I would still recommend a model with high Memory for heavy duty tasks or 4k 120fps gaming; In addition the 256gb of storage is plenty with an external drive and the cloud. This also makes the device more cost efficient. I use a samsung curved 1440p gaming monitor with my Mac Mini and have no trouble connecting to the display; However, you must turn on HDR and fiddle with the settings of both the monitor and the display options on the Mac Mini to the extent I found it appropriate to mention if you care about the best picture quality. Something also worthy of note is I’m using a microsft arc surface mouse and a samsung keyboard. The set-up was a little frustrating at first but all you need to do is press the power button three times to connect the mouse and then the keyboard. So far, I have not heard the fan once while playing runescape or any other title that I have available. All that with OBS studio and others software running. Normally, I am used to fans and heat radiating from all my devices and I’m thouroughly suprised how cold the Mac Mini M4 runs. I am impressed by this device and I’m happy to have learned apple uses a proper M4 chip or, if you are lucky, a M4 pro chip in the base models. This tiny powerful device also ensures logevity with the emegence of AI and the adaption of ARM technology apple is so good at. You can even pick up this machine on sale for under $500 before taxes often. I splurged on this device and paid the full price but it was so worth it for me! I hope you found this review helpful and the apple OS was no problem for me to learn coming from Microsoft software. I also picked up an iphone 16 pro to go with my Mac Mini M4 I loved it so much. Good day everyone!

I liked how compact the computer is. I can place it anywhere in my desk. Overall performance 4 out of five. There are some apps like Page that when I print something and then I want to print something again I will have to exit the app and go in again but maybe thats a appt bug.

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.

I have had other Mac Mini's but this one is the best. Fast, small and powerful. Love it!

This is the third one of these we have bought for our business. It works great and doesn’t take up any space.

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!

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.
