Here’s what I’ll say to those posting $400–500 Windows laptops with 16/512GB and shouting that it’s a better deal…
Yup. For anyone looking for a laptop at this price point, Windows should never be a consideration. The Neo will be perfect for students and casual users who just want to browse webpages and take video calls while having something compact, sturdy and colorful to use. Also, no fans, right? Meaning it

Do you regret getting a Mac mini ?
No I have an M4 mini. It's just such good value. Plus, no battery to degrade / replace. The only downside is I can't use it on the sofa like a MacBook - which is probably a good thing as I just veg watching media - but I have a phone I use currently. I may pick up an iPad (with the money I saved get

Parents iMac M1 broke down - what would you do?
Take it to a very reputable repair store that specializes in microsoldering. I guess the quote of 850€ is from apple for a swap cause its imposible it costs that for a soldering repair. I dont know what exactly happens to the board as you didnt specify but im very sure if it doesnt boot its just a v

New NAS product pages are up!
M4 Mac Mini on Amazon is $499. Add the UNAS Pro for another $499. You've got a more powerful compute module with more bays available in a rack-mount setup for less than the Synology RS822+.

Is it realistic to use a Mac mini as a “portable” (carrying in a backpack + daily plugging/unplugging)?
I mean that many plug/unplug actions is less than ideal, but I can't say if it will actively harm the mini. If it's shut down each time I don't think there would be any risk involved. One idea would may be to never actually unplug the power cable from the mini (maybe get a very short one), and then

parere macbook air 13 procesor m2
Am un mac mini m4 pro. E cu siguranță o bestie mică :). Deși văd cum încă oamenii trag de m1 și spun ca sunt extrem de mulțumiți.

What's the best monitor for Mac Mini M4 as of 2026 that people recommend the most?
I have 2 Dell S2725QC for my M4 Mac mini and they’re great. Best budget monitor for the Mac in my opinion. It’s 27” 4K with 120hz refresh rate and USB-C connectivity with decent built in speakers too! Apple's Studio Display is “the best” for Mac if you want to spend that much.

Upgrade from M1 as long time user (no AI usage)
I upgrade from an m1 to a m4 Mac mini, both with 16GB RAM. Besides the advantages of the smaller size and ports. I see no performance difference whatsoever. Using for mostly basic office work

Laptop recommendation for college fresher in AI/ML
Trust me you should get a Macbook Air M1/M2 and if budget allows an M4. They're light, good battery backup, UNIX based, super fast for your use case, and the industry standard for development. If you plan to use it at your dorm only, get a Mac Mini M4, which costs less than 55K. You can use the rema
