too heavy thing

Perfect Phone ❤

you don't buy an ipad pro just to use at your desk. if you're working on your desk, stick with your macbook or imac lol

Basically 6 reasons to NOT upgrade to the pro lol

Why does size matter when you could do same with m1 or m2 macs? I don’t understand the gimmick of size.

I just bought one for college, I think it’s plenty powerful for ne

If you have the M1, then no, an upgrade is not a “no brainer”. If you have intel, then yes.

Not worth what they are asking. Just don't keep paying the price. It’s the only way to make them lower prices 👍🥱

I got about 2075 USD in Apple gift Cards (after tax) and trying to decide what Mac Mini to get. I keep configuring it with the Pro or just M4 to see what gives me the best rounded machine >.< With the processor being caked in I keep leaning to the Pro and maybe 24gb of ram and 512gb SSD. But I could max out the M4 base and get 32gb of ram and a 1tb ssd and have a more rounded machine... I use mostly NAS to store my crap so SSD isnt a huge issue with me. Ram and Processor is my main focus I guess. I do mostly photo editing but I want to future proof it as much as I can.

I went for a M4 Pro Mac mini, 14 CPU, 20 GPU, 16 Core neural, 24 GB unified memory and 2T SSD., 27” studio display, Magic Keyboard and mouse. I got it just this week and been using it for a couple of day now. I also got (for my office) a purple M4 iMac with 10 CPU, 10 GPU, 16 Neural and also 2T SSD. BOTH machines feel like the very best Mac I ever owned, everything feels better, faster, flawless… and the total, absolute absence of noise, the silence… very impressive

The price gap does not worth it.

11” for me as I connect to 32” monitor and use stage manager at home. Travel is easier for me with 11” too and I prefer the smaller icons using ‘more space’. Feels like more of the screen is being purposefully used.

Is this version still working fine? Were there any lasting issues? Also - is it any lighter than the previous version? Thanks :)

The base M4 is more than fast enough for hardcore video editing. Almost no one needs the pro. How much did Apple pay you for this short? 😂

I'm late to all these videos but as someone who just bought the base spec Mini M4 it might help someone to hear my personal use and why I chose one or the other... I'm a semi-pro 'enthusiast' user. I use the machine for all the usual web browsing and email and office type apps, I have a couple of media players for playing my own music and 4K movies from HDD, I have Photoshop, Lightroom and Illustrator installed along with a few other bits and I have plenty of space on the 256GB SSD. It's maybe half full? I have never felt lacking in power but obviously I would see a speed boost for certain tasks and mass importing images into Lightroom with the M4 Pro and double the RAM but I would I pay 2X the price just to speed things up a little when they're already quick? No, no I wouldn't. The upgrade prices are just a really poor return on investment for MY needs. It makes sense to buy the base model and use this machine to death for a year-or-so and then buy a faster machine with more capacity (M4 Pro or Studio M4 Max) if necessary further down the line. That way I still have my original Mini M4 to keep for other purposes (like a media/ HTPC) for the same price as the upgrades. So yeah, ignore the reviews which say the base M4 is almost useless because of it's small SSD... That's clickbait and just having a dig at Apple. It's plenty for casual enthusiast users with a handful of professional programs installed. It's a sensational value machine but just be honest with yourself about your needs before choosing.

Just because of that multicolor logo, they can go to hell. Sell it to we all know who

Well done video. I have watched several and none of them were click-bait, but yours was the best. Thanks.

I bought a Mac mini M4 as well and I also wish I knew these exact same things before I bought it !

None of these matter for photo editing.

Where to get that oldschool fitting Apple logo sticker?

M4 Pro also has significant fan noise under load.

I personally think 200 bucks for more memory even is a bit too much. Those that run out of 16-gb never state why but I can tell you that web browsers often is the culprit when you run multiple apps. I think the mac mini was introduced as a budget machine, the amount of money you are already spending upgrading memory then becomes a never ending cycle of "if its worth it". For most people I agree with him but if you are someone working on audio and video and do it for a living then maybe. Arguably that can be accomplished on much lighter resources.

Can you replace the leather earcups?

Got the worse colour possible that's a old lady pick

How does your Mac Mini have the rainbow logo? They are all black in Ireland? Thanks.

Thanks Mike, would appreciate any opinions on the following: In the UK, an M1 Studio with 32g RAM is selling used for the same price as a new base M4 with 24g RAM, an M1 with 64gb RAM is selling used at the same price as a new M4 Pro. So either an M1 with more RAM still rivals an M4 or people just haven't caught up! Forgive the naivity, I struggle to understand the argument between RAM and processor speed. I produce music primarily and my 2012 machine is grinding to a halt! And the bottom line is, what would you choose? Thanks!!

Hi Mike, great video thank you. I have ordered the 27" Studio Display already, and I agree, the base Mini with the extra RAM, is the one to go for. Thank you.

From 2014 mac mini to 2024 was noticeable

And the one reason to get the m4? Money

Super informative! Thanks so much! I☘ I received the Logitech Combo Touch for my iPad Air! This video truly helped me to solidify my purchase!

Click bait. please do better for tittles

Only considering mac mini m4 coz I Need a pc for smooth internet browsing. And it’s cheap for an apple product 😅. But some people saying internet going to be heavier in 2 to 3 years and this mac m4 will start hanging and lagging. !! Now am confused.

i wonder if m4 pro mac mini is able to run the upcoming cyberpunk 2077 for mac, at max graphics with raytracing. or should i wait for a m4 ultra mac next year?

Cool!

only one question: is 24GB ram on MacMini M4 Pro enough?

Hey Michael, my name is Johnny and I'm a freelance logo designer, would you love to have a logo for your tech savvy channel to have a brand image your audience can remember your contents from and also can be one of the merch print you can sell to your fans to buy and own and share the words about your channel too? Let me know if you interested and I would love to work with you to design these for you! :-)

Of course all those specs are better on the over twice as expensive pro model. But the drop off in performance does not justify the ridiculous markup for ram and storage. The base model will be good for 90+% of the population. Very rarely do we get to say “GO FOR THE CHEAP ONE!” on Apple products. This is one of those times.

Hi Michael. I use Excel for Macro VBA a lot via Parrallels Desktop and Windows 11. Which configuration do you recommend? I'm planning to go for the M4 with 32GB.

U are a little late to the party, right?

If your a heavy user, with loads of apps running and tabs open etc, its actually cheaper to buy 2 base mac minis than to upgrade to the pro. If you can get education discount you can add 2 external ssd's and still be better off.

Hi Michael! Mi plan es un Mac Mini M4 Pro. Pero no estoy muy seguro de si conseguir una actualización de la CPU y la GPU o conseguirlo con más RAM. Mis trabajos incluyen tanto tareas de oficina, retoque y diseño gráfico, algo de edición 4K. Me gustaría que este nuevo equipo me durara unos cuantos años. Ahora tengo un Intel i7 con 32Gb de RAM. Esta nueva configuración se combinará con un BENQ PD3205OU. What do you think? Thank you very much!

M4 is great, but not the Mac Mini. As soon as you put options it is much too expensive. The iMac is a much better choice.

more focus on affiliate links. Less focus on value delivering.

Weird question, I've been an iMac user for over 10 years, if I get a Mini and a non-Apple display, is there a way to program the keyboard's brightness keys to work with the monitor? Is there anything specific I need to look for while shopping for monitors? Or would it require special software or a hack to get this working? Thanks 🙏
