Apple increases trade-in values for iPhone, iPad, more
The trade in value of a Mac mini is just weird. I have a Mac mini M4 pro which is worth less to trade in than my iPhone 16E.

Just Apple Things
This is 100% ON PURPOSE. And so is putting the Mac Mini power button on the BOTTOM of the thing. There is someone at Apple that WANTS people to burn. Like the mouse is amazing, scrolling is amazing, gestures are amazing, but you can't even hold it properly because it's so fucking.. idk.. what's the

Several Mac mini and Mac Studio configs are now completely out of stock at Apple
These shortages convinced me to sell my Mac Mini m4 and buy a Macbook Air M5. Might as well watch some LLM bro pay more than I paid for my Mac.

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

Low-Cost MacBook Expected on March 4 in These Colors
On one hand, yes. On the other hand, apparently rumours say these will be A chips not M chips, and the M4 Mac Mini starts at 16gb ram where the budget laptops will probably be 8gb, so there seem to be tradeoffs there to make the build cheaper. Pricing at over $599 would be a bad move IMO

Finally decided to make the jump with this fantastic M2 Pro Mac mini deal!
A base model M4 Mac Mini will outperform the M2 Pro, and it'll be cheaper

Vendedor de Mac usado tem cocô na cabeça
Pô, mas uma coisa é você vender mais caro que um PC Windows equivalente, outra coisa é você achar que o computador vale o peso dele em ouro e vender mais caro que um novo (você encontra Mac Mini M4 por 4500 sem fazer muito esforço)

Benchmarked Qwen 3 8B, Llama 3.1 8B & Qwen 2.5 7B vs GPT-4o on M4 Mac mini. Honest results
If we want a full picture: Mac Mini reserves some RAM for the system so you should probably get 24gb versions at least. Best would be some 96gb or higher Mac Studio or smth like that. The higher M CPUs are worth it for local AI. The Tokens per Second they can produce are much better with Pro, Ultra

Cheapest way to get a true 4K120 10Bit HDR client
Look for a used Xbox Series S which is by far the best value option. You can also use an M4 Mac Mini, but that's getting into the mini PC price range.

"Apple does this and ya'll love it": Microsoft VP fires back at trolls over Windows 11's new performance boost feature. "It's not cheating; this is how modern systems make apps feel fast."
No I had a Mac mini M4, I just sold it because it sucked. So much happier with Windows 11.
