CES 2025 - MUST HAVE GADGETS and the BEST M4 Mac mini accessory!

[@MarkEllisReviews]

What have you seen at - or from - CES this year that caught your eye?

[@vegard2000]

McAfee being mentioned in a positive note for it's software was not on my 2025 bingocard.

[@sa.t.2507]

Satechi really dropped the ball by not adding more ports to the rear of the hub, it’s nice with ports in the front but we really need them at the back where you can make it less visible.

[@jhk88rph]

I will be picking up the Mac Mini and the Satechi is a no brainer! Thanks for bringing this to us, Mark!

[@TrailBikeMike]

Why is nobody saying if the Satechi is USB 3.1, USB4 or Thunderbolt 3/4. An NVME enclosure is fine, but getting Thunderbolt 3 speeds from it instead of USB3.1 is a major difference.

[@jamesstanley7263]

Probably because it’s just as crap at fast data transfer as the last one….

[@slartybartfarst55]

I have the previous Satechi for my M2 Mac mini. Got an email about this new version a few days ago - a definite must when I upgrade to the M4 Mac mini

[@lukehassan4468]

Love the look of those headphones 😮

[@mdtaylor2274]

I’d love to see you do a video on the Jlab headphones 🎧 and OMG that Mac mini is incredible.

[@flappospammo]

flying robot dog hoover ? take my money !!!!

[@rossgeography]

actually personally the ear cleaner is really great idea

[@mikerisner]

Very cool discoveries out there on the CES floor. Thanks for suffering the podiatry costs to share them with us. And those are really cool awards you handed out.

[@robertfloyd4287]

On the M4 Mac Mini hub: what is the max data speed on the SSD, and does the hub interfere with the Mini's WIFI(as at least one recently released hub does)??

[@hannahshipman]

I also came here to ask the WIFI question

[@addsfour3499]

Love the mini hub. SD card at the front is enough reason to buy it, as it is what i wanted on the Mac mini. The extra slots are also welcome. Dont need slots at the back, i need slots for things im plugging and unplugging, so this is fantastic. The sooner the better

[@Yukeake]

That Satechi hub looks very nice, but I'll be interested to see if it interferes with wifi/bluetooth. There are a few other similar devices already out, and the ones made of aluminum (like the Satechi will be) can interfere with wireless, as the M4 Mini's antennas are in the bottom. I'm sure they can engineer around it, but something to be on watch for when it gets into people's hands.

[@dalroth10]

Great video Mark - I'm definitely going to get the Satechi Mac Mini M4 dock. It looks gorgeous, will satisfy all my peripheral connection needs and the NVME enclosure will allow me to use SSD for my dedicated Time Machine backup solution.

[@watchcommander2012]

I liked the dreame robot cleaner its ability to navigate as shown means it should be able to go over the wooden carpet transition strips we have. The others we’ve tried just stop every time they come across one. The Mac mini dock is another excellent product.

[@its_arv]

What watch are you wearing Mark? Looks great!

[@techhubwiltsuk]

SAmazing video and recommendations. I would be going for that Mac mini dock but I already have a Ts4 now. The show looks amazing and I couldn’t help but notice the DeLorean. So cool.

[@LuonFoto]

Well, if i would buy a mac mini then i would 100% get that Setachi dock.

[@dreswan1]

Have any WiFi issues been addressed?

[@TiredButCantSIeep]

Question Can you make a iPad 10 review? I’ve had a iPad 10 for like a year and I don’t really use it but can you review it again? Like what I can do with it and everything just see what to do with it

[@donaldbollman1049]

Does the Satechi hub have thunderbolt 4?

[@maguffyn]

Already on the pre-purchase list for the Satachi hub

[@cristianionita9949]

I love the mac mini m4 dock station. I hope this does not interface with Wi-Fi/Bluetooth antenas as the other models. I will love to buy one.

[@johnanderson1245]

I have the Raycue hub and it works just fine.

[@expathaggis]

What’s the best laptop with an SD card slot and not a gaming laptop ??? Please

[@rockstar6790]

I think you mean 4TB of storage you can add that Setachi Mac Mini Hub. That being said, I want that hub for my new Mac Mini, at least you can have additional storage with an M.2 SSD without having to pay extra for internal storage

[@MarkEllisReviews]

If I said anything other than 4TB - yes. I blame the jet lag.

[@kevinokeefe7796]

Give up a thunderbolt 4 just to connect and no ports on back to replace. I think I’ll wait

[@mitchec100]

Ive heard reports of a 6K monitor for ~1200$ with thunderbolt 4 kvm from Asus. Did you get chance to see it and was it any good.

[@robertschneider2189]

MacAfee is bloat-wear. It used to not be, but that day is gone. Another good video, and having just purchased a fully loaded Mac Mini by mortgaging my soul, I am headed to the Setachi site. I hope the link is an affiliate link, since I think your site deserves to be supported. You provide value.

[@hardlines2635]

I want that L G monitor.

[@Jrw_SB]

Come on Mark, when are we going to see this MacBook Pro Base model review. As I'm torn whether to buy M4 or M4 Pro

[@MarkEllisReviews]

It's in the works ;)

[@murtazachaudhary3339]

Very nice video

[@RobertoMagnoV]

Are you you or are you This Is E? 😂😂😂😂😂

[@TechwithDestiny]

I love your Videos mannnn

[@RolandDobbins]

I think you meant 4TB of storage, not ‘memory’. ;>

[@MarkEllisReviews]

Jet lag.

[@HenryDqly]

[@McAfee]
