Apple 2024 Mac Mini Desktop Computer with M4 chip with 10‑core CPU and 10‑core GPU: Built for Apple Intelligence, 16GB Unified Memory, 256GB SSD Storage, Gigabit Ethernet. Works with iPhone/iPad

Excellent Value and Excellent Service. {With Edit}
I’m leaving Windows for Mac, so this computer is completely new to me. Setup was both easy and difficult for me. The setup process utility worked quite well, but each step had a “save for later” option, so I assumed, based on my Windows experience that certain set up steps could left for later when I understood the Mac eco-system better. But some things really needed to be done as soon as possible. I advise that new users NOT skip any setup steps at setup time and then reverse the steps you don’t think you need later when you have a better understanding of how things integrate.16 GB of ram is plenty for serious and advanced digital photography, simple video editing, and creative writing. However, the 256 GB of SSD is a little small for a home directory and the business of running the PC itself. If this computer works out for me, I will give this one to my wife whose usage is far more modest than mine, and I will buy one with a 512GB SSD.It’s fast and responsive and very quiet. If you have any Linux experience, you will see a strong similarity in the base OS. It’s the first Mac… anything that I can say is a good value for the money.I suspect I will be buying another one very soon.EDIT: My wife and I have decided to go ahead with a second Mac mini 4 purchase for her. We feel that this would be better for her than a move to Linux due to the level of commercial acceptance of Macintosh OS. The level of hand holding for the level of user that she is, will be far superior to that which is available with Linux. The internal SSD will be more than adequate in size for the few 3rd party apps she will use.As for me, I don’t think I do need a larger SSD for my usage. It is possible with the Thunderbird 4 grade connection ports (they are compatible with USB C ports, but much faster), it is possible to move the home directory to a a Thunderbolt capable external SSD; leaving the internal SSD available for the business of running the computer. I will install my NUMEROUS number of apps to the External drive where I have placed my home directory.We’re going full Mac, even considering an iPhone move as well.

Best computer I ever own, and yes the base model it is more than enought.
I had this computer for two months now and it is really excellent, It is compact, powerful, beautiful designed, silent and a very good price, I bought it to edit videos in Final Cut Pro, replacing my old 2013 Mac Book Pro 15″ (2000$ at that time) with a discount for 545$, It is so much faster in every task, Im even using in blender. If you are wondering if 16GB of memory and 256GB of space are ok, I can tell you it is, just buy an external SSD an you will be fine, hightly recomended.

Very Nice. Very Affordable.
This was perhaps, the easiest computer set up I have ever gone through.Once, running I was surprised how FAST this little bugger is.I just ordered a second one as I run multiple trading apps throughout the day and need to display everything on multiple Samsung displays.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07L9G1BFX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

SHOCKINGLY fast. Fairly slick
Overall works pretty well. Some of it is nicely done. SHOCKINGLY fast.It does seems difficult to get the system to give you the text sizing (and overall sizing) throughout that one desires. I had to change the resolution I run the monitor at etc etc etc. It took quite few hours to create a screen I could see well. This appears to be an Apple weakness compared to Linux.
