Price?
Tell them the price son
Almost $700, $815 for the newest M4 variant from Apple directly (via AOC) and get 16GB RAM instead.
Definitely go for M3 mini over this.
Combine with 10% gift cards to get the price even closer.
Do you mean M4?
Here's the deal that Apostle is referring to. Save yourself some $$.
Future proof yourself. Buying old hardware at this price is no good. Maybe at $400. But not $700.Card.Gift had 8% off Apple last week, bringing it to about $730. Newer chip, and double the ram.
Do. Not. Buy. This.
Maybe at $400.
Yeah, nah, you're dreaming.
Or just get this and upgrade the RAM.
I mean, it's eight GB Apostle. What could it cost? 10 dollars?The M* Mac Minis cannot have their ram upgraded after purchase.
Irony. It was a joke. Not obvious enough? Apple are notorious for upgrade costs, even if it is possible.
And does nobody get Arrested Development references around here? Maybe I should have gone with The Simpsons.
Apple themselves value an additional 8gb memory at about $300 per 8gb. So you're paying less than that and also getting a significantly improved processor.
Yeah, if its 25-45% slower it should be that much cheaper. This is a terrible buy for anyone thinking of buying it. Get the M4 with 10% off cards and you;ll be within $50 of this and have a system that'll last you twice as long.
This is truly the very definition of The Sam Vimes "Boots" theory, at what is arguably a very small leap in cost.
Exactly, unless this goes down to $400, then will be a good buy, at $700 and that physical size, nah!
If this is like $300 clearance, probably can reconsider.
Agreed that M4 is probably a much better buy for not much more coin, but this is the cheapest way to get a "new" Apple Mac which might be worthwhile for some use cases (eg signage/watching recordings of town halls/etc)
Not a great deal. Last year's (Dec) M1 Mac mini at $497 was much better. Appears to be annual clearance.
That had only 12 in stock across the country
I was able to get one easily and three stores closest to me had the stock at the time! Must have gotten lucky.
8gb
For about $40 more buy M4 16gb mini from AOC using discounted GCs
Horrible deal at that price. 1000% worth paying a lil extra for the m4 mac mini 16gb with apple edu discount
Lots of "education students" in this thread.
They don't check, but even if they did, you've probably got a relative who is and can say you're buying it for them.
Go for M4!
M2 pro with 16gb of ram and 512gb if about 1300 https://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/mac-mini-m…
This or m4……
an m2 pro would be faster than the stock m4 but an m4 pro would be way better than a m2 pro.
Faster in some benchmarks. M4 wins in single thread and power. You'd be crazy to pay 1300 for the m2 pro, with m4 so cheap.
@bargaino: if you do video editing though especially in final cut , you wouldn't buy a base M4 for that.
@kungfuman: Can't you just adjust the settings a bit? No need to render 4K in real-time. We used to do video editing with far less powerful computers. base M4 is still very good.
