Apple's New M4 Pro Mac Mini Impressions & Benchmarks!

[@Rychiar]

Based on my experience yesterday with the base model, I don’t even see the need to pay more than double for the pro. I’m a graphic designer and photographer, and I process a lot of high-res raw images, and this thing cut through them like butter. I was amazed.

[@DRobertson725]

how about video editing with final cut pro or Davinci Resolve on the base model? 4k 30 fps not many effects or motion blur yet but in the future?

[@JahdielSaneo]

​@@DRobertson725 I haven't tried those apps- but I just did a 4 minute TEST with these apps open on A BASE M4 Mac mini: Lightroom working on layers, Photoshop creating AI image, CapCut, Finder scrubbing through RAW photos, Safari with 6 tabs, iMessage, notes, and activity monitor --- ALL WITHIN 1 MINUTE --- the memory shot up to 14gb and pressure went to yellow (which isn't bad) ON A BASE MAC MINI --- WITHIN THE SAME MINUTE - GENERATED THE AI BACKGROUND, STILL MASKED THE LAYERS ON LIGHTROOM, AND SCRUBBING ONLY LAGGED FOR HALF A SECOND. so the base m4 is INSANE. IF you can focus on one task at a time, and only have LR open, then move onto video production, THEN YOU ARE GOOD! but if you're the type of person that wants ALL open all of the time. Maybe just do 24gb base M4. I'm gonna go for the M4 pro 12 core base base config because I work very fast after doing it for a few years, if you take your time with your edits, go at a normal pace, JUST DO BASE M4 with 16gb for $599 ($499 with student or military) Thanks for reading all this, hope it helps

[@dann2468]

how is video editing if you have done any?

[@Rychiar]

@ ah sorry I don’t do pro video work , always hated editing it so I mostly stick to photos aside from the occasional iMovie project and those I can usually do fine on an iPad

I press the power button on my 2020 Mac Mini a few times a year. Non-issue.

[@RocketKitten1]

Damn! Might just get my first Mac after 30 years with PC.

[@Leveetsta]

I’d just place it upside down. Power button is then in the right place. Doubt it would negatively affect cooling.

[@pac7025]

Great idea!

[@LilBigHuge]

Why? You're never going to press the power button

[@FloeticEnigma]

I just got one. It’s not that hard to reach under and push the button. I don’t know why so many people have made this a big issue.

[@ArthropodSpidey]

It WILL affect cooling. Although, I'm perfectly okay with you sacrificing your mac mini to find out for the rest of us.

[@brianhansen2202]

I don't think that the air or the Mac is aware of the direction of the gravitational field, but maybe the fan is or the ball bearing in the fan. I doesn't affect the air flow. If anything, the lighter warm air would rise easier and the cold air enter easier

[@mwe5398]

I like the power button on the bottom. You can’t accidentally turn it off.

[@fayed.untitled]

yep, plus anyone with kids would know that the power button on the bottom is a smart placement.

[@slim56]

It would be nice to see some videos on what monitor, keyboard and mouse set ups work best. Other than Apples stuff.

[@chinito77]

As someone who been trough various non apple monitors on my mac studio, they all kinda suck. Not too big of a deal if you don't have a trained eye. You need to buy a monitor that scales with the Mac OS display resolution settings. There are only a handful of them and they are all expensive. As for the other stuff, anything from Dell to Logitech works nicely. However...if you can afford it, get the apple keyboard with touch id. It's premium for a reason.

[@kapowlofdeath]

Will the full review make an attempt at stressing the cooling system to see if any thermal throttling is going on?

[@Studio_4to1]

We need a real life review about heat, throttle and fan noise!

[@AymericLarose]

I am about to upgrade my iMac 27" end of 2013 to a Mac Mini M4 BUT I do not plan to buy an Apple studio display. I think it will be worthwhile to have a few advice on which 27" or 32" display to purchase and ALSO advise on webcams for facetime calls Of course the Apple displays are the way to go, but I am not planning to spend this amount money.

[@PappaMike-vc1qv]

Although Apple does not support Target display with any silicon chipset, there are many people that have used their iMacs as either the primary display or secondary display with the Mac mini. I was tempted to use my 2011 iMac for this but decided not to go that route. It is a very nice display and it is hard to find new displays without glare reduction coatings which many people do not like. I even saw one KZbinr that got the iMac camera to work too.

[@imolazhp11]

Interesting coincidence, we're replacing my work 27" iMac late 2015 with a new Mac mini. We have an extra 32" Dell UltraSharp 4k USB-C Hub Monitor that is still in the box to go with it.

[@PeterEmery]

BENQ have well-priced 27-in and 32-inch 4k displays that have a Mac mode allowing standard keyboard controls to operate the monitor settings.

[@FloeticEnigma]

I’m using an LG 35” curved screen and just got this M4 mini today. I wanted a monitor with USB-C PD connection, so I had this one already. I can use every device I need to connect to this, via different connection options.

[@jacob.williams]

Same here! I thought it was the placement under my desk and other interference causing the issues.

[@zorch7372]

I am going to upgrade from an M1 mini to the M4 Pro mini. I have had Bluetooth issues with my magic trackpad and keyboard. Because of the small size I am wondering what the noise level is normally and under stress. Also, how are the speakers?

[@whatever8282828]

Speakers? There's one and it's for the boot chime and to make sure the machine has audio at all. It's not a good speaker.

[@federicochang3249]

Don't count on the sound which is kind of like an AM radio LOL awful speaker and it is underneath of the box I think... but I have not shut it down ever since I bought it last Friday evening and ZERO noise... or pretty close to nothing,

[@_R_D_N_]

I have an M1 machine and from day it’s had issues with the HomePods. The audio is soooo choppy and overall utterly unusable. Surprisingly, the same HomePods work so well if I mirror my screen on the Apple TV. So weird.

[@chrisryan8894]

What hdmi version is on it ?

[@sko3225]

Nice to seen a benchmark for the Mac mini M4 Pro 12c (not the 14c), that UPS failed to deliver today. Coming from a base MacBook Air 2020 with 8c/7g, these numbers suggest 1.6 x single, 2.2 x multi and 3 x GPU. Fine with me.

[@MarineX]

For your testing. Can you turn off background rendering in FCPx and scrub the timeline on a multicam clip. I prefer to not let FCPx background render on my M1 Max and I want to know if that machine can duplicate

[@gieseyproductions]

what desktop speakers are in the thumbnail ( @1:42 timeframe) ?

[@sumbodytookmine]

When you perform your full review, can you include additional configuration data that may effect the test? For example, how much storage each tested machine has for the storage speed benchmark. Apple's history shows us that can have an effect.

[@macrumors]

They both have 512gb in this case

[@JahdielSaneo]

I just did a 4-minute test with multiple apps open on a base M4 16gb RAM Mac mini. 💻 Apps Open: Lightroom (working on layers), Photoshop (creating an AI image), CapCut, Finder (scrubbing through RAW photos), Safari (6 tabs), iMessage, Notes, Activity Monitor. 🤯 🚀 Performance Results: Within 1 minute, the memory usage shot up to 14GB, and the memory pressure indicator turned yellow (which is still manageable). Tasks Completed: Generated the AI background in Photoshop, masked layers in Lightroom, experienced only a slight lag (half a second) when scrubbing photos in Finder. WITHIN 1 MINUTE. 📝 Conclusion: The base M4 Mac mini is incredibly capable. If you focus on one task at a time (e.g., have only Lightroom open while editing photos and then move to video production afterward), the base model with 16GB is more than enough! However, if you’re someone who likes having everything open simultaneously, you might want to consider upgrading to the 24GB version of the base M4. 💻 My Choice: Personally, I’m opting for the M4 Pro (12-core) base configuration because I work at a fast pace after a few years of the same workflow. But for anyone working at a more normal pace, focusing on one thing at a time, the BASE M4 (16GB) at $599 (or $499 with student/military discount) is an excellent choice. Thanks for reading and I hope this helps! 🙌

[@PeterWhite-q1k]

Thank you for sharing this practical and important information. Your generosity brings to mind a quote from Mark Twain, Americam author and humorist, "Kindness is something that can be seen by the blind and heard by the deaf." Best wishes...

[@federicochang3249]

Thanks for the small great job of stressing your Mac mini... I bought the very basic configuration with M4 because it makes sense for what I usually do with my MacBook Pro M1 with only 8Gbs RAM which I still plan to keep using. However with less of the stuff / apps that u have opened my RAM has already passed the 11Gbs of usage - the trading sw I use (ThinkorSwim) , Safari and Chrome, streaming something very basic.... I am not sure if the 16Gbs will make it when I start working for real tomorrow... I have not even opened Garage Band or any other sw that would stress GPU usage. I guess M4 ends up consuming &out of the box( much more RAM than previous apple processors... I would recommend - to keep it safe - to upgrade in RAM and also in SSD... from the get go.

[@arshjain03]

why you dint opted with 999 $ version 24 gb n 512gb ssd instead of base m4 pro?

[@federicochang3249]

@@arshjain03 UPDATE> That-s what I ended up doing (24Gb RAM and 512Gb space / for good and fast cache that I started noticing as necessary too) . I went to exchange it, but I wanted to be very clear about my expectations with the 16GB RAM on the very basic version. I should/ve known better. So I was very clear with the people at the Apple Store about it... I was offered a discount for the 24GB which I didn't ask for, cause it was not the point. They just shouldn't be gloating about the 16GB, knowing it is a resource that Sequoia or the new processor uses intensively, I wonder how many resources could be exhausted by the M4 Pro too... but I just couldn't afford the time. I also just noticed that Sequoia never downloaded to my MacBook Pro M1 when autoupdate is on, I guess M1 probably can't take it... and I am not really willing to try...

[@xcessive_dreamer1743]

I’m stuck on if I’m going to get m4 pro mini with 12 core or 14 core cpu. Music productions and coding will be the primary focus, would add more ram but not for 400$ lol

from what i’ve read/watched, the 14 core doesn’t give you any add’l performance cores vs the 12, which is what would matter most for music production.

[@federicochang3249]

Quite the jump... I didn't know what u usually use it for (the iMac) and its configuration, but the M4 Pro processor might also require more RAM and not just more SSD space,

For the Final Cut Pro, is 16GB RAM on the standard M4 sufficient or should I upgrade to 24GB? I'm also planning to future-proof it and use it as long as it can last.

I would spend all the dough you can on ram. That said I got 4 years out of my M1 8gb mini with 512gb of memory. I also wasn't pushing my in the beginning as hard as I am now.

I have an older Mac mini running Monterey and hooked up to a KVM switch. If I select Sleep and switch to another computer the mini wakes up. So it is impossible to use the sleep function. The power switch is important unless I want it run 24 hours a day. Does the new OS allow the new model go to sleep after so many minutes of inactivity?

I think it's a super cool design, I want it so bad. However, aside from the bluetooth problems with my Mac mini M1 (the moment I turn on wifi the trackpad becomes very unresponsive so I only use ethernet) there is not much I need. Yea, it's not the fastest but it works like when it was new, hasn't slowed down, if anything it works faster with Sequoia. I could eventually use more storage, like go for at least 4 TB or maybe even 8 TB... I might wait and see if OWC manage to easily upgrade storage for less. I find it a ripoff to pay pay that much when samsung will sell you a 8 TB SSD for 500...

I guess he had to buy one for the review, but seriously, what he is using the M4 Pro for is a waste of money. A base M2 Mac mini would have done just fine for podcasting. Zero need to upgrade from a M2 Pro mini.

New sub here. Great channel. Would you be so kind as to answer a few questions. I mostly use Final Cut Pro & Photoshop to create videos on my Billy Luna Crime Stories YT channel. I am working in 1080p, but plan to start working in 4k. Currently I am Using a Sandisk Extreme Pro SSD (2TB & 4TB) to edit off whilst using FCP. 1) For my needs, which exact configuration of the new M4 Mac Mini should I get? (Pro or no, RAM, SSD) 2) Can I get maximum speed via Thunderbolt 4 or 5 using a Sandisk Extreme Pro SSD? 3) Is there any speed or performance advantage in going with a 1 TB SSD vs 512? I would really like to save $ by not going with the pricey Apple storage & sticking with the externals. Thank you!

oh no, i was so hoping for a non deranged review. Im using a nuc 13, its as small as this mac mini, this is not new. i was considering getting a mini and im trying for find a decent none insane cult review, so far so not much luck.

Who really care about a SD or a MicroSD slot? A small USB-C hub with these slots and USB-A and … cost next to nothing. Professional using CF-Express needs an outside dongle anyhow.

In front of camera or in from of THE camera. Which sounds more correct. Using the is grammaticaly correct. THE has disappeared from the english language.

New Mac Mini 16 GB RAM 256 GB SSD 10-10 cores for $599 is a really good price point ! Now get this, compared to the exact same specs on an 24" iMac, you're paying $900 extra for a 24" screen which is TOTAL BULLS$$T !!!
