M4 Mac Mini is unreal!

This is 100% going to fly off the shelves. It's such a great machine at an amazing price!

[@richarddcrossley]

Nice to see a real world use case of the base chip vs all the pro model videos! Great content as always.

[@rbwheels]

Can't wait to see it in person. The minier size and having ports on the front are game changers. I just hope they'll make it with a USB-C power port and allow it to share power with MacBooks.

I want the Mac Mini M4 Pro and I want it completely blown out with all of the addons! My CFO (wife) said I would be lucky to get the base Mac Mini M4 with external storage. I'll take it! :-)

Very good to talk about the base m4! Everyone else only talks about the pro.. Thank you for the video!

[@techguypaul]

The same companies that make rack mounts for the previous Mini have to redo them for the new size anyway so they will simply relocate the arm that presses the power button. Not an issue.

[@t3itguy]

Honestly who uses the power button anyway? In 6 months I used mine twice and one of those was the initial setup. It’s certainly worth the upgrade, especially if you’re still running an Intel Mac.

That’s not the point. The point is someone at Apple purposefully coming up with the most infuriating design choices to piss people off. I’m sure any decent industrial designer could’ve come up with a good hidden easy to reach button. Like how they still put charging port under the Magic Mouse.

[@MikeeHollMartz]

[@spacefam972]

I also love how you’ve reviewed the new mini in the perspective of a real life scenario ❤

[@theharbingerofconflation]

In a rack you have front mechanisms for mac minis to be rebooted, we rarely hard reboot servers but pulling out a rack and manually restarting all Minis in there is silly. There will be a ratcheting mechanism to hit the button on in some rack in days. Maybe they'll do keyboard style flippers like on the old VAX machines

[@iJustine]

Yeah I was just thinking if something went wrong and you needed to get access to it easily, it's def a little more of a challenge!

[@theharbingerofconflation]

@@iJustine I don't think we ever had a mechanism break. Then again we never interacted with them. We rebooted like 4 times for updates and network settings since last hardware switch and only through ssh. So nobody ever pushed any switches. I would much prefer if they had an interrupt (reboot) button like the old G3 iMacs, those even had a separate lane on their USB ports so you could turn them off via that. I will say though, the one scenario I can imagine where I would have to hard reboot is if one of the machines hang up and the proper racks have a power interrupt hat you can trigger from ethernet... So realistically the buttons are pointless. Maybe they won't even bother with mechanisms anymore.

[@georgiafatboymowingandtrac7293]

I think in a Mac Mini farm there will be racks made just to hold them. Access would be made easier. But as the experts here have said probably no need for a hard reboot.

[@ranjitmandal1612]

😮

[@theharbingerofconflation]

@@georgiafatboymowingandtrac7293 well as I corrected myself if you do need a hard reboot an ethernet powerswitch os a much better solution. In any case the placement of the button is fine

[@Kkkrakerr]

[@Dead_prince27]

@@Emailanonym for web browsing it is an absolute beast, file management is super snappy even when dealing with a non ssd external, could just be me but the download speeds seem improved too. And Roblox runs great. Will be testing with Whisky for running some PC Games either tonight or tomorrow and perhaps some Mac steam games too. Cemu wii u emulator with breath of the wild runs not much faster in fps than on M1 despite the better graphics cores but that app is a development version and not finalised, however it loads almost 100% faster

[@stevenwyatt4632]

At first, I was thinking that the power button placement was a dumb idea, but I'm thinking that if you're mounting this on the back of a monitor with the fans pointing away from the back of the monitor, then that power placement is probably perfect.

[@C0LPAN1C]

As a low level developer who hard reboots often, having a power button down there is hella inconvenient but not a deal breaker.

[@cakirtanmehta3516]

I am one of those people who when goes out of the office shut all the computers down and hard boot every machine once I come in the next day (or actually everyone in my office just starts their mac/pc once back in the office). Only the server is on so people with iPads and laptops can access the server. In my current scenario it is just put the hand behind the Mac mini and switch it on. No issue at all. I will hold to buy one as m1 replacements until they fix the button in the next iteration and if they don’t and all my machines are kind of old and grumpy, I will wait till a cover or other alternative is brought up to solve this button problem

[@patrickwilliams6464]

What button issue, just lift and push. As technology advances, we are becoming more and more lazy and want everything to be easy.

[@DarrinLin]

It's literally not any harder than turning on the previous gen Mac mini where the button is in the back and you have to do a reach around to access it anyway. If you put up with the power button placement on the M1 Mac mini you can put up with the power button on the bottom corner.

[@cakirtanmehta3516]

[@shesjustradiant]

What monitor do you use with the Mac mini??

[@paulharrison8379]

I would buy a 256 Gb M1 Mac Mini in preference to a 256 Gb M2 Mac Mini. This is because The SSD in the 256 Gb M1 Mac Mini consists of two 128 Gb flash modules, whereas the SSD in the M2 Mac Mini consists of only one 256 Gb Gb flash module which is half as fast as two modules. This leads to the most important question about the 256 Gb M4 Mac Mini. Does the 256 Gb M4 Mac Mini have two 128 Gb flash modules or only one 256 Gb Flash module? If the £599 M4 model has two modules then it is a very good buy. Otherwise the 512 Gb £799 M4 model is the only sensible choice.

[@paulharrison8379]

I watched "2024 M4 Mac Mini Teardown" by "Brandon Geekabit" and it reveals that the flash memory is located on a removable daughter board resembling the standard M.2 2230 flash memory board in a Steam Deck. Superficially it looks as if this daughter board is a standard part but I suspect that Apple has modified this board to have a proprietary design to make user upgrades impossible.

[@ashleycox432]

shame there's no M4 Max option especially given how (relatively) outdated the Mac Studio is. The Mac Studio is the Mac that nobody really asked for, they should put a Max in the Mac Mini and keep the Ultra for the Mac Pro
