Great value proposition. Might be the best bang for buck desktop computer today if they didn't screw you for storage.
"Delivers up to 13.3x faster gaming performance in World of Warcraft: The War Within"
You know they're grasping at straws when WoW is their gaming benchmark though
Looks pretty good actually. Do I really need Pro though.
The base model is actually pretty decent especially if one is already using external storage for most stuff like photos, videos, music, samples and other files.
Personally I'm not a heavy user of giganormous sample-libraries and currently I'm using the 2018 Intel MacMini with a 256GB SSD with ~80GB free...
So one step up to 512GB would likely serve me for longer than it will get fresh OS updates
.
The M4 Pro 12 core base model is a relative bargain @£1,399 , given that I paid £700 more for similar specced M2 Pro-12 just 6 months ago , (except my xtra 32Gb RAM reduces to 24Gb but same 8P4E cores /256 SSD) .
Can’t regret my purchase as the upgrade from bottlenecking M1 base model has made last 6 months very productive with finally feeling free of computing headroom restraints, but damn wasn't expecting Apple to drop pricing SO much or I might have waited .
was hoping for more gpu cores for local LLM models
At first glance, they boosted the CPU, base RAM, and they made it smaller. I don't really get the appeal of the smaller size, but it's definitely a better value than the Mini you could have ordered yesterday.
Also worth noting they’ve returned to adding more performance cores ratio for the Pro chips ,
the M3 Pro 12 was 6P6E split -
which for some programs such as Ableton which only use performance cores was a waste -
hence why I chose M2 not M3 -
glad they’ve seen sense .
I was reading where the neural engine is mindblowingly faster than previous gens.
The biggest benefit of AI is that Apple has been forced to up their base RAM to 16GB. Still highway robbery considering how cheap RAM is but it is what it is.
I wouldn't say it's a robbery for the base model, wouldn't it be an all time low for the price / CPU performance & RAM ? Of course adding 16 gb of ram for 400 bucks is a rip off but that's apple's decoy pricing strategy.
IMHO the price is low for the base model when looking at CPU single core perfs + small factor
I’ve always been of the mind the Mac mini and iPad Air were the best performance to cost/value ratio.
It’s arguably best overall value Apple product released and a huge upgrade in performance. Still think Apple as a whole charges way too much for RAM knowing the market. I know how they do, still think it’s sleazy of em.
I guess I’ll be buying a M4 Mac Mini. Looks fantastic.
Headphone port on the front seals the deal.
Yeah, this little widget may be what finally replaces my ancient mbp.
Any smaller and it will be a Mac Micro.
Yeh, I gotta say I'm very, very tempted. Having to deal with a monitor and the extra cabling in my most frequent workspace, the dining room table, is the only thing holding me back. I'd probably end up using the trusty ol' 2015 MacBook Pro most times anyway.
Wow $250 towards it for my Mac mini
I Neum said you can get more for it private sale but who wants to go through the hassle
I don’t need an m4 mini tho.. idk
It’s so cute tho
KO2 in apples Mac mini promo
I guess you put it simply.
The people that need the tool and need the money, will go for private sale.
The people that don't need the tool, or the money, will give it to Apple for a dopamine hit. Understood.
Time and hassle saved is sometimes more valuable than the money.
I'm sure it depends a lot on where you live and how much you many salary/hourly already.
I can sell an ipad in less than an hour private where I am and get $150+ for it over Apple. Do most of the people here make more than $75-150/hour?
It would take a more effort than that where I am. I personally wouldn't mind saving the time and would take the trade-in with Apple instead.
And more RAM especially. But I expect them to release a 64GB version soon too.
If they and oculus could bang their heads together and allow headset streaming to the quest it’d be ace; I’m having to use my ancient noisy PC to work in VR at the moment while the lovely quiet Mac sits there wondering what’s going on😅
l purchased 2x the standard M4 Mac Mini to a reasonably maxed out spec for slightly less the cost Apple want for a single reasonably maxed out M4 Pro model - £2199 vs £2,399.
I purchased a well specced M3 Pro MacBook Pro last November and will take delivery today of a completely maxed out Lenovo with 64GB of Ram with a dedicated Nvidia 4090 (16GB of dedicated VRAM vs 24GB in the desktop model), so there's little more that interests me in this weeks Apple announcements.
I always have to balance my hardware purchases against both audio production needs and visual production needs, much like @richardyot.
I met Richard whilst alpha/beta testing for Foundry, the parent company of Nuke, Mari, and Modo amongst others; but I now test for Maxon, the parent company of Cinema 4D, ZBrush, Redshift and Red Giant amongst others. It's always interesting to specify software for both audio and visual production needs, and with this in mind, dual boot Windows/Linux hardware still offers a far better price/performance ratio than anything Apple offers, and Lenovo build high-end hardware with at least the same production standards as Apple. The Lenovo laptop mentioned above was just a shade over £3k. The max spec 16" MacBook Pro (64GB Unified Memory, not 128GB, which is £800 more), is approximately 2k more at $5k; and macOS GPU capabilities don't compete with Nvidia in Windows/Linux. The GPU performance of Redshift, Octane, Arnold, RenderMan etc, is approximately 20% better under Linux than Windows and this makes for a staggering GPU advantage over macOS.
I do however think that the Mac Mini M4 Pro model offers fantastic advantages for audio workflows, and is the best value performance hardware currently offered by Apple (especially for 3d, motion graphics and video). I was going to add a single Mac Mini M4 Pro to my mobile setup, but I changed my mind after seeing the MacBook Pro announcements. I now plan to wait for the Studio announcements next year, as they will offer far better value than the MacBook Pro.
The reason that I purchase multiple hardware units is 1.) It's written off against my business as an expense, and 2.) I use Vienna Ensemble Pro, which allows me to stream audio directly to my DAW (Ableton) from each hardware unit. With 3d and motion graphics in mind, having multiple hardware units available in my mobile setup adds very powerful parallel processing advantages for the majority of workflows other than GPU rendering.
I realise this is a very high-end setup and doesn't match against the needs of the majority iOS/iPadOS musicians, but I hope it's valuable to see the impact of Apple's announcements this week when matched against high-end mobile production requirements.
The good news is that the price of second hand Mac Mini M1’s will drop.

Depends on how you look at it
Better take my trade in for $250 now
—- and the one to watch is the new snapdragon arm, might actually besy the m series which I can’t believe
(Edit
I initiated the trade in. I can get may be $350 in cash but I rather not go through the trouble , plus it’s in house so it’s just right there…. So I loss $100 but I mean that’s just saving time and inconvenience of Craigslist trouble makers and scammers )
Thanks
