Mac mini

I was holding on to my gaming pc for so long but Windows has become utter trash now and because I only really play Cyberpunk2077, Minecraft, Nier, etc I’ll be just as happy with an M4 Mac Mini. Microsoft forcing AI into everything has just ruined the experience along side Windows being spyware now.

Yes. No question about it. I was a Windows user for over three decades but switched to a Mac mini m4 and was blown away by the performance of Apple Silicone Silicon. It blows Intel/AMD chips out of the water, and I’m not even exaggerating. You can run Windows in a VM if you still need access to some

I run plex on a Mac Mini M4 and all my media is on the UNAS Pro. 24TB Exos drives. It’s a base model Mac Mini with a 1Gb connection. I can stream MASSIVE bitrate movies to my Apple TV with no issues whatsoever. Your plan will work.

Sure! - M4 Pro chip with 14‑core CPU, 20‑core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine- 64 GB unified memory (probably could have gotten away with 48)- 1 TB SSD storage (probably could have gotten away with 512)- Gigabit Ethernet Price: $2,399 new Last 1 week energy usage: 908Wh @ $0.35/kWh = $16.53 per year in e

Nah, that’s obviously a false narrative that popped up after the fact. The local LLMs guys are on a Mac Studio not a Mac Mini. What you’re describing doesn’t match the history of why Mac Minis became popular. It’s because used M1 Mac Minis were $100-$150 and gave you integration with iMessage, Apple

Absolute Apple hater here. I now own 2 M4 Mac Minis and a M4 MacBook Air. They just work. The rest of my household is Fedora, and UnRaid. The single remaining Windows box is used for gaming but will soon be replaced too.

Not disagreeing BUT holy shit is using Mac OS and a new M4 mac mini SO much better than anything pc/windowsnfor audio. Windows 11 is a cancer.

I mean you can say the same about the other side, are the people saying that Tahoe is fine lying? Both sides can say truth. I daily use Tahoe on my Mac mini M4 and only Safari is acting weird to the point that I had to switch browsers. I'm not lying, that's just my experience. I have noticed from ot
