Mac mini M4 (2024)

I get down posted when I post that 256 GB is not enough For M4 Mini only you can get OEM SSD. .. For others get USB4 SSD install MacOs and boot from it Warning do not run bootcamp on intel Macs it stuffs up dual boot. Needs USB cabled keyboard for desktops I run dual boot 2013 iMac with OLCP Sequoia

Now I wish I looked for the 2TB SSD on BF to go along with the M4 Mac Mini I picked up. 🤦‍♂️

I too have a $500 m4 mac mini. The onboard 256gb is an insane constriction. Especially with the strange apfs system files and imessage attachments and shenanigans. Was your storage upgrade easy to do?

Good on ya for getting it configured. i had been too preoccupied with my fiddling with my 5090 SFF desktop and rejiggering my 3090s into a dedicated GPU server to be able to make a dedicated NAS system... I couldn't get around to the project of giving my M4 Mac Mini a sane SSD upgrade and now chip-p

You will need 24GB/512 GB Mini to manually cut code... can't be done for $600 I just installed local Ollama .. llama3 8B model to play with works great on M1 Mini 16GB/512.. But to get serious with local AI I will need at least 64GB /1TB M4 Mini.. very expensive with Macs . Local AI is game changer

You can get M4 Mac Mini 512GB storage 16GB memory for £700 right now, just get an adapter to connect the second monitor. If you don't need Win11 Pro, you can choose Home and the higher CPU version here Dell Tower | Dell UK and get a £670 desktop with a much better CPU performance.
