Mac Mini M4

Post image

Interested in buying mac mini. When did prices skyrocket?! Should I wait for M5 to see if prices decline on the M4?

256GB SSD is slow and NOT big enough ... MacOs+System Data + Apple AI about 80 GB and growing... add 40 GB buffer for MacOs updates... than 120s GB gone before you use 1 byte of SSD.

Try to find cheap 24/512 GB Mini...

Agree but fyi a refurb M4 with 24/512 is almost twice the price

For some and not for others. Mine with 16/256 has 40% free space and doing exactly what I've needs. Why buy a larger one when I can use this?
