    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 took more 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 average of $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'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.

      Speed demon supreme, even in the low-spec model. 27" iMac if connected with Thunderbolt and if using an 8K dummy monitor plug works wonderfully well as a monitor for a headless M4 mini -- using screen sharing. The ride for setup is a bit bumpy to get that all working, but the results are great -- not for gaming or full screen 5k+ video, but otherwise, terrific. An astonishing difference rendering a Rhino 8 drawing on the M4 compared to an i7 iMac (not really practical on the i7 at all). Data transfer speed is wonderful, as expected. This is a really good headless way to get some M4 goodness while keeping the familiar old Intel apps alive until they are fully exterminated by the poison apple policy. Be sure to get the top-flight best USB-C cables you can buy, as the cheaper ones don't work.

      I was very skeptical, and also reluctant. And these days, a five star is not easily given. But, I have to admit, this is a lot of computer for the money. I bought this machine to be a little automation hub, tucked away in obsurity for meanial tasks. After setting it up and kicking the tires, it's now a programming ambassador to the M4 world, and the door to the next world of Apple. A worthwhile purchase as Apple things go.

      Buying the monitor and more storage, etc. will be painful but worthwhile. I'm already thinking about whether I should wait longer for the 30" iMac M4/M5/M? - and leaning that way, but the prospect of another Mini with the separate monitor is nice.

      In principle, I should knock one or two stars for the non-upgradable RAM and non-upgradable storage, and maybe another star for privacy and obsolesence issues, but I'm keeping the 5 star rating for value and the path forward for those of us who are in the Apple camp for until something better comes along. I spent years deep in the driver and update hell of Windows before switching to the smoother Apple world. Apple is now so mature that it takes a good day to fully grind through cleansing and setting up the mini for legitimate use... tools, firewalling, filtering, and more -- but once there, it's impressive. Don't get me wrong, most people will be happy in minutes.
