I have never regretted my M1 Macmini, and now the M4 is tempting (and cheaper then the one I have when I got it). Crazy, but nice. I also have a 2013 macbook pro and a 2014 mac air that both work fine, but with no OS support, but still useful for many things.

Thanks! 🔥🤯🔥 Besides your music, you really have a lot to give the YouTube community with your knowledge and your journey through this awesome new technology! ✌️😎👍

I've got my new M4 Mac Mini. I added 512 of storage, but I had a M2 Pro Mac Mini, so I got a good chunk of change on my trade in. Can't wait to fire it up.

Mary, I believe we reached that point with the M1 - gamers and serious data crunchers aside, most of the current offerings from Apple, AMD and Intel are more than enough for home users. If I used even 10% of the resources on this model Intel box most days I would be surprised.

Great points all - I'm on the verge of upgrading from my 2017 iMac 4GB to some Mac Mini configuration. And I'm tired of having to freeze tracks for mixing and awful time delays when recording.

Someone unabashedly expressing their love for technological innovation and its impact on their purposes. Refreshing!

You had me a sponsor free. This is amazing!

I play the guitar casually so that's really the extent of my creative side, but I have a Windows gaming laptop and desktop, both with Nvidia RTX graphics so I don't necessarily need a new computer. However, the new Mac Mini with its M4 SOC is an incredible deal for sure and I'd totally grab one if I was in the need for a new computer. My first computer I owned (didn't share with family) was an intel Core Duo iMac back in the mid 2000s that I got to start college, and that thing lasted me about 8 years even with just 3GB of ram. That said, I'm too invested into the Windows/Android side of things nowadays to convert back.

My 2011-era Mac Mini. It's still extraordinary, utterly void of any issues. Of course, it's maxed out with 16 GB of RAM and two 1 TB hard drives. I still record and edit narratives and voice-overs every day, as well as communicate visually with producer-directors while working. I know, it's time for a new, more powerful Mac Mini, and that's the only computer that I'll consider.

Thank you for your brilliant review, Mary.

I had my firs Apple product 3 years ago. It's Macbook Air M1 base model and it just blown away my old PC that suck 600W to do way less than that M1. I still can do my job on that M1 Macbook Air but sometimes I feel that it has only 8GB of RAM. So I got the Mac Mini M4... I don't know if it's gonna make a difference from a Mac Studio but for me from M1 base model is a huge leap and I feel like I am futureproofed for the next 5 if not 10 years for what I am doing with it!

I switched to Apple 9 years ago. I use an iMac in my studio and MacBook Pro for mobile use. Love them both but it’s time for an upgrade. Only issue is the price Apple charge for memory and SSD upgrades. I do feel that Apple are ripping people off on that front. But the new mini looks great and may well be my next purchase if a new Mac Studio doesn’t arrive in the spring next year and even then, the mini may be all I can afford! The thing with Macs is they work. Simple as that. I used PCs for years and constantly had issues with crashes and drivers etc. So I think the extra outlay for a Mac is worth it to me.

The Apple ecosystem is amazing. I always feel like I have “one computer” but many different interfaces to it.

[rockwithjerry]

I ordered a Mac Mini because the store here is sold out. It won't be here until the end of November. Sigh... I'm still happy with my M1 Macbook Pro. It was a game changer but it's time to upgrade! Keep up the great content!

[Peruvian.Lama]

I'm an original M1 Max base model Mac Studio user. I am SO tempted to upgrade to a M4 Pro loaded Mac Mini. However, I like not having to use an external port expander as I still use USB-A devices. Waiting probably 6 more months is going to be annoying, and I hope we get the M5 Mac Studio at that point as a reward for waiting.

[SonorousMusic]

Mac Mini has been around forever. I still have one running from 2014 that is doing its job just fine.

[janinee]

I use a Mac Mini M1 with basic specs and I´m happy so far. Up to now that`s all I need for my tasks. For tablet and smartphone I´m with Samsung for some years now and very happy with those devices too. I had an iPhone and an iPad but didn`t like the restrictions they offered. So I guess for my usecases I´ve found the best of 2 worlds.

Best part of Macs is their life span. Our first Mac Mini was purchased in 2006. We finally retired it in 2020 for a 2015 27" iMac to fill it's place as our family entertainment system. For the young artist staring out, any mac 2015 or newer can serve as a decent editing platform - the cost of entry to attain quality output is no longer a barrier.
