Comments

Got the new Mac mini M4 and it’s a beast for its size. The M4 chip flies through daily tasks, and the 16GB memory handles multitasking easily. I hook it up to two monitors—no problem. Love the front USB-C ports for quick access, and it’s dead silent. The 256GB base feels tight, but for $799, this is insane value. If you need power in a tiny box, this is it.
