    Hardware fast; setup slow; PowerButton solved!
    4 out of 5 stars
    Hardware fast; setup slow; PowerButton solved!
    The raw speed of CPU, GPU, and Unified Memory is race-car fast; but it took me half a day to get from unboxing to my desktop, and I met some usability problems.After the Hello dialog and choosing language and keyboard, then Setup recommended upgrading from MacOS 15.0 to 15.1. This is expected for a new product: the software must be frozen in order to manufacture the flood of units for initial shipment to distributors, so purchasers of those units should expect the equivalent of a few months of software updates. With my gigabit network connection,it took only a couple minutes to download a few GB. But the first progress bar for Preparing the upgrade said "About 30 minutes remaining", and that was an optimistic estimate. Steady state was not reached for almost one hour.Setup finally finished, and then I started Migration Assistant. I had 200GB on a 3-year old MacMini-M1 with MacOS 12.6 (Monterey), connected to the new machine with a Thunderbolt 3 cable made by Apple. By clicking around during the transfer, I learned that the Assistant had diagnosed the hardware connection as more than 10 GB/s, with other options (including 1 Gb/s wired connections to the same ethernet switch) down to ad-hoc WiFi network at 54 Mb/s.After waiting for a couple minutes of "Looking for files to migrate", I decided that it would never actually Connect. (That's bad U/I for not being more informative.) So I Back'ed up all the way to the beginning, and started again. This time the machines connected, and after a 6-digit numeric handshake the transfer began. The end-to-end speed meter generally indicated 50 MB/s to 85 MB/s; 200 GB tookmore than an hour.Next, Usability: At 7.5 inches square, I rested a 1920x1080 monitor on top of a previous generation MacMini with no problem. The new generation is only 5 inches square, and the combination is tippy.Then the ports: DisplayPort remains a second-class connection: you must use AltMode, a USB-C port, and an active adapter (more than just wires); I don't like that. The lack of a USB-A port is a poor choice.$5 for an adapter (USB-A socket to USB-C plug). Many an older USB-2.0 mouse, keyboard, tablet, etc. continues to work just fine. "Get a new device with Bluetooth" requires a purchase and a battery, whieh is not eco-friendly. If you want to connect a USB video camera, multi-channel audio device (digital sound output and/or input), CD/DVD player/recorder, etc, then you will need a powered USB hub (USB-2.0 works); and probably TWO of them: one on the back, one on the front. Then an external SSD via USB-3.2 and USB-C brings the usage of Thunderbolt ports to 4: front USB hub (for convenience of U/I devices and USB flash memory), rear USB hub, DisplayPort, SSD.Finally, the Power button. Assume that Sleep consumes 3.5 Watts, which is the EPA limit. There are 720 hours in one month, so that's 2.5 kWh per month, or 30 kWh per year. At the US residential averageof $0.18 per gross kilowatt hour (total bill divided by total usage), that's $5.44 per year, which buys a nice ice cream cone. That's the cost of Sleep instead of PowerOff; de-rate for your estimated average daily sleep duration. Having the Power button on the bottom costs you that ice cream cone. The solution: stand the MacMini on its side, with the power cord near the bottom edge; see photo. Now the Power button is reachable at top rear. Also, get a vertical stand to guard against tipping, like the ones made for "1 liter PC" (approx. 7 x 7 x 1.5 inches) by Lenovo.

      I can't say enough good things about this little computer. I was looking for something small, compact, and affordable for a family desktop computer for my younger two kids (9 &11) so they can learn how to navigate using a computer at home, while also being taught Internet safety somewhere I can keep a close eye on them. This was the prefect solution, because it's so small, I was able to set up their computer next to mine in my very tiny home office. As an added bonus, I can now do my work at my computer, while my kids play on theirs, and we get to spend time together that would normally be just working hours. (I'm self-employed, and spend an unfortunate amount of time cloistered away in my office.)

      Also, setup was super easy, because we all have various Apple devices. Added bonus is that I don't have to worry about the younger kids breaking it the way I would with a laptop or tablet (aka something portable with a screen), nor can they sneak it during a time when they're not supposed to be on screens.

      All in all, highly recommend. I might even be looking into one for my parents' to replace their old-as-dirt Windows 7 desktop computer!

      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.

      I'm absolutely loving the 2024 Mac Mini with the M4 chip! I went for the 24GB RAM configuration, and this little machine is a productivity powerhouse.

      My work revolves around heavy browser use - countless tabs, web applications, and online tools running simultaneously. The Mac Mini handles it all flawlessly. The M4 chip is incredibly fast and efficient. I've never experienced such smooth performance, even with dozens of tabs open and multiple web apps running.

      What truly amazes me is how quiet and cool it runs, even when I'm pushing it hard. My old desktop sounded like a jet engine, but this little guy is whisper-quiet. Plus, it takes up barely any space on my desk!
