Ordered the base M4 Mini and I’m beyond excited. I’m a teacher so I got the £100 education discount making it ludicrous value at £499. It’s more power than I need, even for my DTP side hustle but I’ll have headroom to spare. Also have no storage concerns as I’ve already got a Samsung plug in SSD. Love my old M1 MacBook Air (which still runs like a dream) but can’t wait to try my first Apple desktop machine 🙌🏼

I've got the M1 Mac Mini, and I have had it since it first came out. IT was top spec at the time (which wasn't much!) but it's been a wonderful machine for me. It's now 4 or so years old and no complaints, although I can sense it slowing down on some apps. I use it predominantly for office and browsing, with the occasional Photoshop and Premiere. I'll probably upgrade in a year or so to whatever the top spec Mac Mini is at the time. I'm an all in member of the Apple club with the whole family having iPads, Macbook Airs, Pros and iPhones. I moved from a Mac Pro (the awesome tower circa 2012ish) which was great but it had usb 2.0! Get a Mac Mini and it won't let you down.

I’ll be coming from a 2019 16 inch MacBook Pro (I don’t need a portable Mac enough to to want to pay the premium, I also don’t need the M4 Pro chip for what I need). I’m in the minority that likes the Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse. I’ll be buying the USB C ones when they become available

I pre-ordered a Mac Mini M4 with 32GB Unified Memory. I plan to use this for my hobby (arranging music) and general use, possibly as a family computer. The reason I bought the 32GB instead of the 16GB or the 24GB one is a plug-in I use that recommends 32GB (in addition to future-proofing). For the monitor, I plan to buy a 24" LG monitor for ~$80, as I'm limited by budget and plan to move several times over the next few years. (On a side note, the latter is the main reason why I went with the Mac mini instead of a desktop like the Asus S501MER.)

Great Video Mark. The 16GB M1 MacMini is still my most used computer of my lot and the part that I find humorous, I picked up this computer in early 2021 as a curiosity and never really intended to use at as a daily driver. Boy, was I wrong. The little MacMini smoked my massive Intel Core i7 desktop. A little more than 3 years later and I am really trying to come up with an excuse to spend the money for the new M4 Mac Mini and honestly, I have no logical reason to upgrade as this machine handles every task that I can throw at it without any issues. Maybe if I were editing video, I would be screaming for more power, but using this to manipulate data is perfect and it does so much more than much healthier spec'd PC. For 90% of computer users, the base M4 Mac Mini will be all you will need for many years. In fact, I bet it will go out of Apple support before most users would consider a need to upgrade. The MacMini is the best computer Apple makes.

For display try the new Asus 27” 5k. $799 vs $1599. I do hope satechi or whatever creates a base for this new version of the Mac mini with a nvme ssd spot available. Regardless, I am excited to see the performance of the m4 because for $600 it’s a steal and would be great for every day tasks on my desktop aside my MacBook Pro. I say aside my MacBook Pro because I do NOT enjoy plugging it into a hub as much as I thought I would.

My 27" iMac is 10 years old and whilst it still works perfectly, I think it's time to change. I put it in the trade in section and was told it's time to recycle it !! lol I was thinking I should get the basic M4 Mini but even I need more than 256 storage. I could get an external drive for a lot less than the Apple upgrades but then I have the complexity of the external storage. Would it back up to iCloud? Would it sync to my other Apple devices? (although it's only photos and videos that I want it to sync). It's still something else for me to do ! Then there is the display. The Apple studio is stupidly expensive but will cheaper 4k displays work seamlessly with the M4 Mini? There is Dell one on sale for £280!! I am now thinking I might as well just get another IMac, put up with the smaller display and get ripped off on the storage upgrade! I think I am the sort of customer Apple really likes !!

Maybe you can help me with this, Mark. I've been using iMacs for over a decade, my most recent being a 2019 mid-range 27" iMac. I don't want the smaller screen or I'd already be set on an M4 iMac. Someone in my home who uses their computer for a lot less than I do has an M1 iMac and it's stupifyingly fast next to my 2019 Intel. I have lots of storage devices hooked up to it, it's got a fusion drive, etc. It's painfully slow and I mostly use it for multitasking the built-in apps of Mac OS. Lots of Safari, Music, Podcasts, the occasional game or photo editing. But it's mostly a media consumption and communication machine. If I get an M4 Mac Mini (or any M-series Mac Mini) am I going to find it stuttering through heavy usage if I treat it like my current Intel iMac? Whenever I end up having to restart, it takes a full half hour from pressing the power button to being able to use the thing (cache rebuilding, background apps turning on, Safari taking nearly ten minutes to load all the websites I had open, etc.). The M1 iMac in the house? It takes 45 seconds. I just want to make sure if I bite the bullet and upgrade, that it's not going to be a sluggish mess in 6 months after I start using it how I normally would.

I don’t know, depends on how cheap it would be, I feel like the M1 is still a good buy today. I think the recommendation is M1 if you want to get a cheaper device and then M4 if you have the money, and just skip the M2. I had the Mac mini M1 in 2020 but upgraded to 16Gb RAM, I replaced it around a year later to M1 MacBook pro 14” just because i need the form factor, but I don’t think its way faster than the M1 Mac mini. And today my MBP M1 is still fast for 4k video editing with a bit of color grading which is already very demanding. I think my old Mac mini would be only slightly slower so it would still hold up today. I heared the M2 is not a very significant jump from the M1.

The *only* reason I'd still consider an M2 mini is if it's a really good deal (and 16/512 minimum). I wonder how long the used market will take to adjust, because used mini prices were just silly. Kind of hoping the M4 will knock the wind out of them a bit.

I have the M1 with 16 GB RAM and I think your downplaying it a bit…really isn’t much of a jump from the M1 to the M2. The M4 is definitely a big jump from the M1, especially if you get the M4 Pro. Eventually I’ll upgrade, but not until I actually can’t fulfill my needs with the M1. I got a nice Logitech keyboard and mouse along with a ViewSonic 2k monitor…about $250 all together. More than happy with the setup…as always, thanks for the videos.

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.

The base mac mini is such a fantastic value that I ordered one. I really like to overspec and over spend. And if I could get an m4 Pro with 32/512 for even 2x a base mini, I would have done it. But the mini will do 90% of what I want, and I have other machines for the remaining 10%. And spending an extra $800 doesn't get me there, so I'm not going to spend it.

But what if I dont know how much ram I need? Ok. I have decided to buy a Mac Mini M4 but not as an upgrade from another Mac so I am not familiar with what macs need for hassle free and smooth videoediting. I am not a professional video editor and have no deadlines and will not recoup the cost so I want the cost to be as low as it can be. I am aiming for the base 24/512 but can stretch to the pro 24/512 if I really need to but not go over that price. What I want: smooth editing and at least 1:1 export time using highest quality export settings for youtube. 4k media from action cameras and prosumer cameras using highest image quality and log and colorgrading/ image quality enhancing if needed. Some effect work like green screen, animated titles. I have watched a lot of videos and read a lot on redit and I am still afraid to make a mistake (for me 24/512 is a lot of money and pro A LOT) because there is two camps, one is "base 16gb is enough" and the other one is " m4 pro but with ram upgrades". Sorry for the long text (english is also not my native tounge)

I find recommendations a bit questionable before anybody has put a lot of (longer) workload on such a Mini. It is important how good the little cube will cope with high load for a longer time. Like Video editing etc. Does it throttle, overheat? Will the fans be noisy? Very important. If it takes it well, it can be a nice solution - if not, Mac studio would be the answer. But noone has tested so far.

For a while now I've been thinking about upgrading my M1 Mac mini to an M2 Pro Mac mini but, if recent reviews are accurate, the new base model M4 mini has slightly better performance than the M2 Pro at a lower price (current prices for second-hand M2 pro are still well above the £600 of the M4 base) so there's really no contest.

You can buy 2 16GB / 256GB M4 Mac Mini and it’s cheaper than a single 32GB / 512GB one

New sub here. Great channel. Would you be so kind as to answer a couple of 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 should probably start working in 4k. Currently I am using a 2019 Intel Macbook Pro with 16 g of ram and a 512 HD. 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? 2) Can I get maximum speed via Thunderbolt 4 or 5 using a Sandisk Extreme Pro SSD? I would really like to save $ by not going with the pricey Apple storage & sticking with the externals. Thank you!

Thanks for the kind words, and welcome onboard. Grab an M4 Pro with as much unified memory as you can comfortably budget for. It'll last you AGES. Not sure on question 2, I'm afraid!

As an M1 Mac Mini user, I still sit here saying it’s held up for the three years I’ve used it. But the M4 is a damn bargain now since the only real necessity is the 512GB SSD (256GB is criminal for a desktop). Even with that, it’s still cheaper than my M3 MacBook Air. 🤷🏻‍♂️ also, I’m intrigued to see what Satechi does for a USB dock for the new mini.

@@chriscoetzer honestly, the M1 is that good that it’s only worth upgrading when software updates end 🤷🏻‍♂️ also, upgrading the M4 to 24GB memory and 512GB is the price of the M2 MacBook Air. That’s golden.

So my M1 Mac Mini “toy” is still perfectly adequate for my needs, even though it’s mostly used for Lightroom and Photoshop image processing. Shame you were so dismissive of the M1.

I take it you didn't see what I said about it at the end of this video? The M1 Mac mini remains one of the most impressive Macs they've made. But time has moved on.

Haha - it's easily done! I've forgotten to subscribe to a lot of my favourite channels, and it's been reminders like the one in this video that prompted me to click. And 87% is actually pretty par for the course, to be honest. Doesn't stop me wanting to beat it 😉

I just see absolute no point to get the M2 mini. Retailers with excess stock of that will have very a hard time getting rid of them unless they are willing to take huge loss.

What the heck do you mean cheap in "Apple's terms?" The base model is an incredible bargain, compared to any model of computer ever made. Best bang for the bucks. Just don´t upgrade anything in it, because that's when the "Apple tax" will start to hurt you. Luckily, you don't have to, because for once Apple designed a base model that's just good as it is.

for a Mac product??? Biggest edu discount is on this box to reel the edu suckers into their store. $20 buck discount on their grotesquely overpriced joke 27". I like you videos but Apple have become a really cRp company now. And I say that from a position of paying $3,000 for a 512Ke in the eighties. Seen it all.
