5.0 out of 5 stars Good compliment to a Macbook Pro
Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2024
I bought a base mac mini m4 and so far its been flawless in terms of performance and operations. First mac desktop I've purchased due to how affordable and portable the form factor is. Just can't get over how little desk space let alone you stick some velcro on top you can put it under your desk without bumping your knee into it. The ssd not being soldered is a plus but not any ssd chip would work so beware. Would recommend especially just for low-medium workloads users who use a ipad with a keyboard.

So far nothing, but good results. Fast, quiet, cool little machine. I upgraded the SSD to 512 and upped the memory to 24 gig. No problems, all the ports are good. Tried it with HDMI and with USBC adapters for Display port options and all works just great.

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful and tiny!
Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2024
Although I've used a Mac at work for several years, this is my first time purchasing one.
The Mac Mini Pro is lightweight and fits perfectly in a small open space on my desk.
It's driving my three monitors via USB-C and remains very responsive.
I'm amazed that Amazon's prices are currently lower than Apple's.

Apple created a powerhouse entry level Mac. The best bang for the buck. Efficient, small, silent, good priced and a beast!

5.0 out of 5 stars A cheap upgrade from an Intel MacBook
Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2024
“Upgraded” from a 13” MacBook Pro mid-2020 i7 and so far, I’m loving the new M4! The Intel MacBook was my daily driver, but I couldn’t resist trying Apple Silicon at $579. A really solid (and surprisingly affordable) upgrade.

Migration assistant had all my settings and data transferred within an hour with relative ease (minus my photos library because I’m going from 1TB to 256GB). Used a thunderbolt 3 cable to transfer.

Box only includes a power cable, so be prepared to buy your peripherals separately. Because it’ll be plugged in, iCloud integration makes it okay for me to stay with the 256GB base model with 16GB of RAM. Looking into getting an external Thunderbolt 4 SSD enclosure to store my larger files and applications.

So far, it’s been holding up despite having half the RAM of my MacBook. It’s never been more affordable to get an Apple Silicon computer, and I’m excited to use Apple Intelligence in a desktop experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars I have no regrets
Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2024
I have a collection of Macs and I have never bought a new one before. I bought the 24/512 model before the price went up and the delivery went out. I'm not processing video or doing any other heavy lifting with it. Mostly I play a couple of video games with it and I know it is overspec-ed for what I do but - so fast so smooth and just a pleasure to use. I know that most people want a Windows machine to game with and maybe they need it but the games I play on Steam work fine with this and never having to deal with Windows updates is a bonus that is hard to quantify. In short, I love this little box and you will too.

I find it funny that apple can make a computer that beats other computers at this price at half the power draw. This computer is very fast and quiet. And is one of Apple's best price to speed deals...

5.0 out of 5 stars 2X Size plus 2X speed SSD support: hits the sweet spot for a development station
Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2024
Of course this Mac Mini was top-notch in terms of packaging--it's an Apple product. It was a nice surprise to see that the 512GB drive hits speeds higher than my 512GB Macbook Air as well. The Thunderbolt 4 ports work great, and it interfaces well with my Sabrent mini TB4 PD hub, achieving 40Gbps easily for my external SSD whether connected directly or through the hub.

I have evaluated a few TB4 cables and not been disappointed. There are two reported USB ports on the front. So far, I have seen only 10Gbps at best out of each, but I don't have any true USB4 devices to test higher speeds. The HDMI easily supports my 2K monitor at 144Hz, but my TB4 to DisplayPort 2.1 cable does a better job in both display appearance and refresh rate, hitting my monitor's top rate of 165Hz, some of which is probably due to DisplayPort. It shows no issues with tearing. On top of that, it works connected through my TB4 mini-hub, while still allowing me to hit top speed on my external 4TB M.2 SSD, which runs at 3,100MB/s read/write while the display is also attached, meaning I still have 3 TB4 ports free (2 direct, 1 additional hub port), plus the 2 USB ports in front. It was easily worth the price difference between the 256GB model and the 512GB model, allowing me a near-pocketable portable development setup (sans monitor).
