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.

We’re on monthly billing with Google Cloud. I maxed out most of the specs on the Mac mini but I don’t think I ended up needing to. I wasn’t sure what the hardware requirements would end up being so I erred on the side of over-provisioning: M4 Pro chip with 14‑core CPU, 20‑core GPU, 16-core Neural En

the m4 mac mini was $399 for a few months at microcenter, you had to buy it in-store but probably the best deal in computing ever

It's definitely hurting PCs. My M1 Max MacBook Pro 64gb was literally cheaper, by 30-50%, than an equivalent GPU setup workstation for data science applications (I needed to load 48GB of data into memory and use both CPU and GPU-based data science libraries). For gaming, I don't think anything comes

500 with education discount is wild. 8 GB RAM is not ideal but K-12, college students, and pretty much everyone else with non specialized work should at least consider this as their first device. The fact that I can get this and the M4 Mac Mini for around the price of the new Air is amazing. Can’t r

No they won't. The price floor will increase but the demand for cheap or good enough specs isn't going to wane, especially with modern cloud and internet heavy usage patterns. The vast majority of people spend significantly less than $1000 on laptops and few buy mid range to high end at full price.

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

People act like Apple never had budget devices until now, but it’s not really the case. The Mac mini was released in 2005 and has regularly gotten refreshed ever since(it’s current M4, 16GB memory base version is $599), various generations of iPhone models had budget versions (6c, etc.), they made t

Best Buy is selling this brand new for $499. I just got one a few days ago. Amazing value for the money. https://www.bestbuy.com/product/apple-mac-mini-desktop-latest-model-m4-chip-built-for-apple-intelligence-16gb-memory-256gb-ssd-silver/JJGCQXH2S4

If you already own a monitor & keyboard, get a Mac Mini with a M4 chip. New it’s about the same price If you want a laptop, get a refirbed Air M4 from Apple for about $300 more. To me the Neo under the hood seems more like an iPad than a Mac YMMV.
