    I couldn’t have asked for a better device, nice compact size perfect for on top of the desk, sounds beautiful and packs a punch still for the base model. For an Apple product the price seemed decent and that’s a surprise because Apple usually have high dollar products. I would recommend this to anyone.

    I love my little Mac Mini. I bought it mainly for email that I don't know what it is. I had an email take out my PC and Apple can't get viruses. But it is totally fast! And so compact. I was able to boost it to 1tb with the addition of an external hard drive that is the same exact size and mounts to the bottom of it. It also gives me 2 aditional USB plug ins. If you want a fast, awesome, compact computer, you need a Mac Mini. Highly recommend it.

    Great computer with a great pricetag. The size helps with keeping minimal items on my desk and prevents it from feeling cluttered. Computer works well (mostly use for personal and have used it for work). Recommend for anyone that likes having a one stop shop instead of having a phone, laptop, etc. out.

    Mac mini 16GB RAM 256SSD with OWC Express 1TB

    I've been using the Mac mini with 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD, paired with an OWC Express 1TB as the main hard drive, and I couldn't be happier with its performance. Setting up the new hard drive right from the start is crucial to avoid any repeated steps, but once that's done, the experience is seamless. The Mac mini has been a powerhouse for my needs, from video editing dirt bike trail riding videos to everyday browsing. I use mine for work and often run multiple windows simultaneously, yet I haven't even come close to maxing out the 16GB of RAM. The CPU is the real star here—it's overkill for 99% of users and was the main reason I chose this model at its price point. You won't find anything that comes close to its performance right now. Overall, the Mac mini has exceeded my expectations and has been a reliable and efficient machine for all my tasks.

    I have been a long time PC owner but have always wanted to try a Mac and MacOS. I saw this Mac Mini M4 for sale at Best Buy and decided to try it out. This Mac runs great! Very fast and MacOS is a treat. I did install UTM and Windows 11 Pro to support some of my older apps, but Im going Mac all the way. Great price and great product

    Stunning performance jumps over M1, M2 generation- faster CPU, faster GPU, and double the RAM in the base model. Unbeatable deal for the price. Apple has a winner, and this will be far more computer than most people need; I'd encourage those unsure to start here first.

    The best and only computer for most people

    If you have already have the peripherals like a mouse, keyboard and a monitor, this is easily the only computer that most people will need for several years to come (5+ years or even longer). Since the introduction of Apple's M series silicone in 2020, it democratized the ability to own a super-computer in a tiny package, and the new M4 Mac mini is the culmination of that in a desktop class computer. Nothing can touch this in this 5x5x2 compact size for the performance and value.

    Can handle quite a bit. It’s not perfect yet it performs better than my older 2020 MacBook Pro which I spent 3k on. Shop around use price match micro center. This mac mini is shockingly fast on day to day task and can handle multi core loads with moderation. Invest in a Thunderbolt external hard drive! It will be worth it. Using with a Samsung 55” OLED DISPLAY @ 4K 120hz runs smooth.

    Just got my Mac mini and I’m already impressed by how compact yet powerful it feels. Setup was super easy, and it fits perfectly on my desk without taking up space. I haven’t fully explored everything yet, but I can already tell this is going to streamline my workflow and help me stay organized. Looking forward to diving in more!

    Best value little Mac desktop today

    This is for the lowest-end version of the mini. I replaced an older M1 mini with this one. I was surprised by how small the new Mac mini is compared to the previous models. I already had a high-speed external 1TB Flash drive and a 2TB USB hard drive as a backup drive, so a larger internal Flash drive was not needed. The switch from 8GB to 16GB RAM was welcome. The switch to all USB-C interfaces was also welcome, but it meant I had to use a couple of USB-A to USB-C adaptor plugs for my existing devices. The upgrade process was painless and only took a few minutes. The significant speed bump from the M1 to M4 was immediately noticeable. I have owned Mac computers since 1985. They have been the most reliable electronic devices I have ever owned.

    This little thing is powerful. It's quiet too! You can't beat the value that it offers at this price point, it processes through the day to day tasks and chews through book keeping, light video editing and heavy photo editing and then some. have yet to max it out for general tasks and also it's SO much snappier and quick when doing tasks than anything m1 and below.

    The Mac Mini 4 is a powerhouse in a sleek, compact design. It delivers lightning-fast performance for everything from multitasking to creative projects, stays whisper-quiet! 16gb ram as standard is amazing!!! Does everything you need it to do!

    The Best Mac of All…

    Others have said it, and I will echo most other reviewers. As a Mac (Apple) user since 1982, this is one of my favorite Macs of all. It is one of the best values, even at the base model. Some complain the 255GB isn’t enough but iCloud storage solves that issue, or an inexpensive external SSD. With the 16GB of RAM standard, combined with all specs, it is indeed one of the best Macs for most non-power user. And, with the M4 (and Pro version), the Mini encroaches into professional territory also. Love everything about it. Specs, size, and price.
