A windows user here, need to buy Mac mini for some apps testing, should i wait for mac mini m5? what's the probability of June Release?

You don’t need all that CPU power just for app testing. Just buy some Mac Mini. Upgrade with maximum RAM for fortune use, that’s more important than CPU speed. The M4 is already rocket fast! 🚀

Should I switch to a Mac mini?

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

Apple Neo

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

Entry level PCs costing less than $500 ‘will disappear by 2028’, research firm predicts

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.

This MacBook Neo has been upgraded to 1TB

I upgraded my two M4 Mac Mini's from the base 256 GB to 1 and 2 TB, it's a super simple upgrade. The only downside is that you need a second Mac with Apple Silicon chip to do the DFU restore and re-flash macOS.

is the macbook neo worth it?

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.
