    I recently upgraded to the 2025 Mac mini with the M4 chip, and I couldn’t be happier. This little powerhouse is incredibly fast, smooth, and efficient. Whether I’m multitasking, editing videos, or running demanding apps, it handles everything with ease. Apple’s M4 chip really shines — boot times are almost instant, apps launch in a blink, and everything feels seamless. It’s compact, quiet, and does exactly what it’s supposed to do without any fuss. If you’re looking for a reliable, high-performance desktop that doesn’t take up much space, the Mac mini with M4 is the way to go. Highly recommended!.

    I never thought I'd switch from Windows but with the release of Windows 11, it was an easy move (or at least as easy as moving to 11) The power packed into this little cube is impressive. The OS manages the ram very well so 16GB works great. It comes with 3 Thunderbolt USB-C ports so thumb drives run faster than old hard drives. I always use my laptop with a dock running a full sized keyboard and mouse with external monitor. So, this is a great replacement and i don't have to worry about breaking the screen on a laptop or damaging the keyboard. I bought a power station that will provide the A/C current it needs, for over 8 hours. I do wish it could run using power from its Thunderbolt ports. Maybe in the next model. At home, big screen TV as a monitor. On the road, the TV in the hotel room. In the truck, xr glasses. It's great. It has an M4 processor that has handled everything I've thrown at it without breaking a sweat. Im amazed that they fit this much in a little box for under $500.

    This tiny computer is amazing—and for the price, it can't be beat! After a lifetime of using Windows PCs, I finally made the switch, and I couldn't be happier. The Mac Mini is incredibly quiet and powerful. It actually took me a while to get used to not hearing fans constantly running in the background! While there's a bit of a learning curve for anyone new to macOS, give it some time and you'll be thrilled with your decision. It's a fantastic computer at a great value.

    The Mac mini is so perfect* Takes up less room then a regular computer it’s compact and it’s fast no big towers to find space for all you need is a table top and a monitor. Mouse and keyboard then your good to go, this little mini is an Apple computer by all standards as good as one costing over $1,000 no issues! leave a monitor at work one at home and just plug and go compact for home and work small enough to put in a brief case and take with you the same awesome apps and features of a full size Apple desk top or laptop

    16bg was an upgrade from my old MacBook Pro but, I haven’t touched this thing in months. My 2020 iMac with expandable RAM is beyond faster than this for a low price too. I regret buying this instead of higher RAM. It’s small and portable which is nice. But also have to have lug around the peripherals along with it

    Awesome Alternative to an Obsolete 27" iMac

    When I decided to replace my 2017 27" iMac, I was disappointed that Apple didn't make a 27" iMac anymore. Therefore, I bought this Mac Mini along with a 27" monitor. It did take me a while to figure out how to share my old iMac on the network so I could easily transfer all of my files wirelessly. But the transfer worked like a charm. I am assuming I had to do it this way because of what version of Mac OS my iMac was running. After the setup was complete, it was like I created my own iMac 27" since the footprint of the Mac Mini was so small. I have 2 TB of iCloud storage so it was no big deal switching from a 1 TB iMac to a 256 GB Mac Mini. Performance is astounding and I am very please with my purchase.

    Fast, Compact, No-Nonsense Desktop

    The 2025 Mac mini is basically the perfect small desktop if you want serious power without the giant tower. The new M4 chip is fast, multitasks smoothly, and handles photo/video editing, coding, and everyday work without breaking a sweat. It’s quiet, tiny, and has enough ports to build whatever setup you want. Just keep in mind: you’ll need your own monitor, keyboard, and mouse, and the base storage fills up fast if you work with big files so consider SSD or external drive storage. Also, once you pick your RAM and storage, you’re stuck with it, though the base model is more than plenty for daily multitasking. Overall, if you want a compact, affordable Mac that feels fast and modern for almost everything except heavy 3D/GPU work, this is a great choice.

    Small but mighty

    I've gone back and forth between getting a MacMini OR continue to use my MacBook Pro as a desktop solution. Basically, did I want to continue plugging/unplugging the USB-C and HDMI cables everyday on my MacBook? The answer was NO. Almost a year later, I decided to pick-up the latest base model MacMini M4. I've been using it for almost a month. Performance: I have not experienced any performance issues when comparing it to my MacBook Pro M3 Pro. I've used the MacMini for photo editing, Xcode, Android Studio, my work virtual desktop, playing music, web browsing all at the same time without issues. I underestimated the performance of the base M-series chips. The Pro chip models will most likely be needed for heavier loads like video editing and large 3d design. I've tested the following monitors separately: LG 4K Ultragear 27GP950, LG Ultrafine 22MD4KA, and Dell 34in -S3423DWC. I had no issues with any of the monitors. Storage: I haven't had any issues with the base model storage because of my external storage. Size/Form Factor/Other: The MacMini is incredibly small and quiet. I think I heard the fan once when I decided to run a bunch of applications at once to see how far I can push the MacMini. Yeah, the power button is on the bottom. It's not a big deal for me. I'm very satisfied with the purchase of the MacMini. I no longer worry about the wear and tear on my MacBook Pro's ports. MacBook Pro is still being used as intended... a portable device. If you are looking for a small form factor desktop for basic web browsing to photo editing to light programming, this little guy might be what you need.

    It’s portable n small yet powerful for something of its size. I suggest upgrading for more storage unit if you have a lot of files. Other than that its good i just had to get type C to usb connectors.

    This is my first time owning a Mac after using Windows for many years. Overall, I like the machine - it's relatively easy to use, but does take some getting used to when switching from a Windows PC. The size of the device is really impressive, but it does lack ports. I bought an external dock to give me access to an extra monitor, additional M.2 SSD and more USB ports (including USB A, which the Mac Mini does not have). There are many to choose from, and the one I bought seems to be fine. I did run into an issue with my Logitech wireless keyboard / mouse with the Mac Mini - It turns out the Mac's WiFi was interfering with the Logitech receiver (which was plugged into my dock). I turned off the WiFi, since my ethernet connection is hard-wired, and that resolved the problem. Otherwise, I would have had to switch to a wireless keyboard / mouse that is Bluetooth connected. The seemless integration with your iPhone is really nice, including the screen mirroring capability and being able to get access to iMessages directly on the desktop.

    Mac Mini has been everything I expected and more. I use it with a small portable screen so it functions basically as a laptop. I got the power without the price. The reviews have been all over the place but I am glad I was open to having my own experience. People on social media complaining about not being able to find one. I trust BestBuy to have my electronics still to this day!!!

    The M4 Mac mini is a very impressive machine. Performance 10/10. This machine is capable of running pro audio and video applications. It's gaming capable outside of the macOS ecosystem using the crossover application. The new design is definitely an improvement from the previous. Some owners aren't happy with the placement of the power button. It doesn't bother me at all. The only suggestion that I would give to Apple; it's time to leave 256GB storage in the past. Other than that, no complaints. Very happy with my purchase. Just a suggestion to other buyers that get the base model, purchase a thunderbolt NVME enclosure and NVME SSD. You can change your home folder location to the external NVME to save space on the internal storage.

    I recently picked up the basic new Mac mini for my office setup, and it’s honestly one of the best decisions I’ve made for productivity. Even the base model feels incredibly fast — apps open instantly, multitasking is smooth, and it handles all of my day-to-day office tasks without breaking a sweat. What I love most: • Compact and quiet: It takes up almost no space on my desk, and it’s completely silent even when I’m running multiple apps. • Great for office workflows: Email, spreadsheets, CRM systems, video calls — everything runs flawlessly. • Surprisingly strong for leisure: For downtime, it handles streaming, light photo editing, and casual gaming with zero issues. • Easy multi-monitor setup: Connecting it to my monitors was straightforward, and the picture quality is extremely sharp.

    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!

    Possibly The Best Apple Computer Ever

    I've been a PC person since the 70's. As of June '25, I finally became a Mac user. Don't shy away some it's compactness. Processing is fast. Video is sharp, crisp. The audio is very impressive. The M4 can also support most Google apps, and with a 3rd party product, you can run windows apps. YouTube videos can provide lots of help. I used cloud services to copy PC data files to the M4. Warning: The M4 does not come with any input devices. I connected an existing keyboard and mouse. But have upgraded to the latest Logitech S series mouse and keyboard. I'm thinking about a touchpad. I've added a expansion device with additional USB ports, a 2nd HDMI port, NVMe port, and micro sim card slots. Overall, the Mini M4 is a great "starter" system, containing more power than most users will ever need. Customize it for you particular needs. And the Mini is so quiet. No loud PC fans.

    Mac Mini I picked up is incredibly impressive for such a small machine. It handles all my daily tasks and data workflows without any lag, and the compact design keeps my desk looking clean and organized. The setup was instant, and it stays completely silent even when I’m pushing it with multiple applications open. It’s a powerful, efficient little desktop.
