The M4 Mac Mini is Incredible!

The new $599 M4 Mac Mini is really good. In more than one way.

Thank you for the shoutout! I’m the Technical Frustration Manager at Apple. I’m quite proud of our new power button placement

I never thought I'd say the words "Apple" and "insane deal" in the same sentence, but the base model with a student discount and external storage is probably the cheapest, most powerful video editing machine you can grab right now.

$499 with the student discount is actually a stellar deal.

I received mine yesterday. Did a quick benchmark between my iMac 2019 i9/64GB and M4 (non pro) with 16GB and 10GE ethernet. While rendering from resolve took 2:15 in a 1 minute raw clip from my Canon (cinema raw light, 50 fps) with some grading, it only took my m4 21 seconds to render same clip and same grade. This is a beast.

5 inches isn't tiny! It has a nice personality atleast

That weird dude at Apple must be proud watching this vid 😂

[matthiaswolfe]

No, I do not need this upgrade. Yes I have preordered it.

[Jennakp]

FINALLY I'll get mine soon, so happy, I'm team apple, I'll just need some accessories and good Office, any suggestions?

No power brick is an underrated bonus in a tiny desktop like this.

That power button is the best advertising thing ever. No one thought you can have the world talking about a power button.

As an IT Engineer, I order similar form factor machines on regular basis for the company I work for. They are HP Mini PCs, so I can see the primary customer's of these PCs could be organization that runs Mac through and through, great value for them in that sense.

the mac mini is so fast, its like it going 95mph in the 35mph school windows zone

I can’t wait for my mini to come. I also bought one for my dad to fit on his cluttered desk. I know his desk is messy, but he loves it, and the mini saves a lot of space, so he loves it too. I don’t care about the power button; in fact, I hate the idea of shutting down the computer. So, I love it. It’s just a tool, and you can choose whatever you want as long as you can afford it.

[oaw]

i will certainly get support calls from the same people not able to find the power buttons every few months

Marques: A 5 INCH BY 5 INCH FOOTPRINT

90% of the population: I have no clue how big that might be

[dannyweemes]

How’s the processor speed? Can it handle 93mph?

Mac mini should have a TV mode that works with the remote, basically becoming an apple TV when required. Would be more compelling for people who want to use their TV as a computer.

I’m incredibly impressed with the base model Mac Mini. You can honestly solve the storage issue by using external drives or even waiting until someone develops a base station for it that has expandable storage that would also bring back ports like usb A and an sd card slot. I’m still rocking my M1 Pro 14' MacBook Pro and I’m considering upgrading to the new M4 Pro model. this year got REALLY saved by XAI880K

[thezetes]

I went from macbook pro's to a mac mini M1. It is the most powerful pc I have ever owned, and I cannot imagine the wonders this M4 pulls!

As a reference, I mixed a 5.1 film score/folly/ambient/voice over (250 mics, 80 audio tracks for the score alone) on it and have experienced 1 crash. ONE!!!!

[mnnnbbbb]

I’m getting the base model with 10GbE. Glad to see this is not coupled to the more high end configurations
