This Mac Mini was the Best Buy (pun intended). I’m glad I purchased this machine. The WiFi is fast, and is pretty powerful for my applications.
I would Highly recommend this option. My last Mac was the all in one so I chose the Mac mini so I could Choose my own monitor and I am NOT disappointed and you will not be either.

Apple has finally realized there are a lot of us that want Mac's but don't want to pay unreasonable prices. The cost, power and size of this Macintosh makes it a great value. If you need more RAM, that's when it gets less reasonable in my opinion. Best Buy's trade in allowance on my Minnie M2 was the deal maker for me to get this. I don't care about the power button position as it's always on for me. Reboots are done via software.
It's very powerful, the additional ports are enough for me, I connect mine with Ethernet, so that's a huge plus. Just an awesome Macintosh!
Personally I put my Mac on the network and remote into it from my Windows laptop. Having both O/Ss available to me has been a great help in my IT course designing and teaching. Since it was at a reasonable price I could do it.

This is my first 'real' exposure to the world of Apple. Lifelong Windows/Android user.
I have to say it's a lovely device. It's fast and performs extremely well. I've had to give search engines a good workout to accomplish some tasks, but that's only natural I suppose when you're learning something new like this. Everything I've wished to accomplish, I've been able to, sooner or later.
I love the form factor and how much power is built into so small a package. I'll often switch this on instead of my Windows machine when I'm doing something more casual so I can learn how to use it, and because it is pleasant in performance - an enjoyable diversion at this point. We'll see where it leads :)

I watched a lot of reviews before deciding to upgrade to the new M4 Mac mini and I must say I am not disappointed. It takes up a lot of less space on my desktop, easy to set up, quiet and I like having two USB-C ports in the front.

Love the speed of the processors and the size on my desk. I bought this to replace a 2011 version I had. i have had issues with needing to unplug and replug my devices. The wireless apple mouse. And a logotech keboard. So I went back to the wired keyword with an apple adapter, still disconnects frequently. Not a big issue, for the speed & size. I have been using apple products since 2012.

1. Performance / Efficiency
The M4 gives a very strong CPU/GPU especially for everyday tasks, creative work (photo & video editing), setc. Ok
2. Compact / Quiet Design
It fits well on small desks, is easy to move, and doesn’t dominate with noise.

Everything you would expect from an Apple computer

Have been wanting a new desktop computer for some time now as I do not like laptops. This has been a great computer so far in the month I have had it. Everything you would expect from a mac computer. Very seamless setup. This is mostly used for web browsing and some light office work. So far this can handle everything that I need it for. The 16 gb processor made this purchase a no brainer for me as all of my other devices are Apple as well. Another great thing is it was at the same price point as the previous 8gb.
My parent saw it and liked it so much that they upgraded my moms computer to this a couple days after I got mine.

Surprisingly versatile machine. Despite the limit of the internal storage, this isn't really even a factor since you can use a thunderbolt 4 external drive with it. It's basically worth it just to get IMovie because you can edit 4k video without a subscription. I also remote into my windows desktop, and cross-platform software I use simply runs faster on the mac mini, despite my desktop having 64gb ram and a 7800x3d processor. The M4 is no joke. Even with the ridiculous Apple tax on storage, the computer is still cheaper than anything else you could possibly build with the same amount of power.

I recently switched to the Apple Mac mini M4 with 512GB, and I’m really impressed! It’s small, powerful, and perfect for my needs. The 5 USB-C ports are a big plus. I can easily connect multiple devices, and everything transfers data super fast. The M4 chip is smooth and handles everything without slowing down. Plus, with 512GB of storage, there’s plenty of space for my files. The size is amazing. It's incredibly compact, so it fits easily on my desk without taking up much room, but still delivers plenty of power. It's perfect for small spaces. If you need a powerful, space-saving desktop with great connectivity, this is a great choice. Highly recommend!

The Mac mini with the M4 chip has been an amazing purchase. It’s incredibly fast, quiet, and powerful for its size. Everything runs smoothly, from everyday tasks to heavier multitasking, and it never feels sluggish.
What I love most is how seamlessly it works with my MacBook Air. Switching between devices and sharing files is effortless, which has made my workflow so much more efficient. The performance you get in such a small, clean desktop is honestly impressive.
If you’re looking for a reliable, high-performance desktop that doesn’t take up much space and integrates beautifully with other Apple devices, this Mac mini is an excellent choice. I couldn’t be happier with it.

Works like a champ. I love the super small form factor and how much power it has to go with it. Fully integrates with all my other apple devices and even though it has internal speakers which aren't terrible, I use my homepod mini as the speaker. If you don't need high-end graphics then this little computer right here should do everything you need without issue.

Love the MacMini. So powerful in such a small foot print. This is the 3rd one I’ve owned. This is replacing my 2013 system.
