    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.

    I needed to replace my old iMac, and Apple was recommending a plan that would cost me at least $2,300. I went into Best Buy, desperately looking for an alternative to save money. Their guy Lucas took matters in hand, recommending an alternative that ended up saving me over $1500 over the Apple suggestions. It starts with this Mac mini, which was on sale at Best Buy. Add a couple of items, and voila! So far, it all works perfectly, and I'm ready to work again! Now, I got some extra money to buy a scooter... at Best Buy, of course! Give Lucas a promotion!

    Mac mini M4 as home media server

    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.

    The Mac mini worked well upon powering up. Being a lifetime Windows user, I still have a lot to learn. By the way, during set up, I wish the instructions included a step - update Software before using!

    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.

    I don't need to say any more than what has been said publicly - it is the best computer bang-for-buck available today. Not just Apple computers, but all desktops. I won't include laptops, though the M4 Mac Mini is easily carried in a purse, backpack, or even a large jacket pocket, so you can take it with you. I replaced a 2020 27" Intel iMac with 32GB RAM, an excellent computer, to have access to upcoming computer advancements in AI and other technologies. It was easy to transfer my data get this up and running.

    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

    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.
