M4 Mac mini ($599) - Unboxing, Comparison and First Look

I am happy to discover that my Samsung odyssey 57” is working flawlessly with the hdmi port at 120hz full resolution. 😅

macmini m4 will proved to be best product Apple ever made ? future will tell

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!

All your videos are great Aaron ❤😊

Wondering how this would pair with the lg 24 inch thunderbolt 3 display… it works get with my m2 13 inch mb pro

good heavens, power off at the bottom. who designed this?!

With Thunderbolt 5 I wonder if you could use 2 Mac Mini's as like a render farm in Apple's Compressor like we use to do with Intel and PowerPC chips over a network.

If only I could install linux on that thing. (and also have same performance - this too)

It has replaceable SSD too❤

This packs insane performance in a small size, plus its an amazing price. Nice review Aaron!

Great video

Beautiful

i love this new mac mini 😊

best value computer for everyone officially is a Mac. What a world we are living in

it's a beautiful design but I'm happy with my M2 chip Mac mini. No one is complaining about the size of Mac mini nor do anyone complain about not enough power the iPad is. Apple should probably work on more AAA gaming compatibility on macOS that will make Mac more competitive compared to PC. Otherwise Mac is just a video editing tour or Internet surfing tour. for these, most mobile phones and tablets already can do even better job than max. not to mention even smaller size.

Waiting on your M4 Macbook Pro video. I'm looking to upgrade from an 2019 Macbook Pro.

I love it. Beautiful design inside and out. Makes the Mac Studio look out of place.

Aaron never fails with his videos👍🫶

How you guys install Final Cut Pro is it crack edition pls tell me I’m bigger to mac

I have a 10yo Mac mini that has never let me down. But it doesn’t owe me much so might be time to upgrade. Pity Australian pricing is way way higher

Headphone jack

Which LLM did you try that did not work? LLM studio with lama ?

a

can it run 13b parameter llm on 32gb ram one?

Any issues with Bluetooth or external drives not waking?

my m2Pro 1tb gets 6100 write 5100 read on black magic, , is the 1tb that much faster than the 512

Did you face any thermal throttling running benchmarks?

I pre-order an Mac Mini with the M4-Pro.

Best comment about the power button out of the past 10 Mac mini videos. It's not a big deal and there's also power button wake button on the keyboards.

I just ordered base 512/24 to upgrade my mini m1, I’ve satisfied m1 for common tasks even tons of browser tabs and several apps open with Pixelmator Pro on 8gb ram, I think it will be real upgrade after m1 😀

Hello first time buying a iMac I got this but can I connect a Bluetooth keyboard to the Mac mini and if I connect it to my tv will the sound come out the tv thank you so much for your help love your channel

It cant run llm because apple gpu doesnt have a full software stack.

The M4 Mac Mini is The Perfect replacement for my i5 Mac mini 🎉 ordered mine today, so exicited!

Hopefully it will be half the size and power button back in the back next year or the year after.

You're right about the power button. Why people are so worked up over the power button is pretty ridiculous. Only needing it hit it a few times a year (at most) it will be a non-issue. Apple may should have talked about that more in the presentation, though, as that may have prevented some of the silliness that came out of it.

The argument I hear a lot is it’s ok the new Mini doesn’t come with WiFi7 since very few are running a WiFi7 network. Is there some giant list of Thunderbolt 5 peripherals out there some of us don’t know about?

So tiny and so good. Same bro same

love your videos aaron. could you try to use a black table in top down shots? I think it will be much easier on the eyes...

Our 10-year old PC has served us well but is about to die — This seems like a perfect option!

It's $499.99 with the education pricing.

I’m SO happy I decided to go back to Macs/Apple last summer when I purchased the new 17 pro iPhone, then the new iPad, now the final cherry on top the mighty mini, all juiced up… I feel like I’ve won the lottery 🎉

Just think, if your buying with a Studio Display they may be upgrading to 120 hz 32” so plan for that as a future monitor for the mini❤

Great review!

Design by Apple in California , but made in China!.

Just bought one, there is no internal mic, how do I get around that?

M4 Mac mini is very impressive. Nice review thxs Aaron.

Is the disk speed test done for 256GB or 512?

$500 at Amazon and Costco for Black Friday...

Looks good. Ordered. Would appreciate a good guide on updating an old usb Mac Mini to this.

Hi ZolloTech, is it worth switching from macmini M2 512gb to M4 512gb..? Thank you 🤔
