Good budget product.
I temporary lent my M4 mini to my parents when their Windows based mini-pc wouldn't work properly. Since it was temporary I ended up choosing the 2018 Mac Mini with an 8th gen i5, 8GB Ram, and 256GB SSD. Ideally I wanted a M1 model but I was not willing to pay $257-300 just to use as a media center. If Apple TV came with a browser I’d probably just go with that but we need browser access. The product itself arrived quickly and packaged decently. Mix and match box but that doesn’t really matter. There were some stickers on the Mac and some other red sticky residue. Nothing hard to clean with access to isopropyl alcohol. I was worried about a 7 year old device not being fast enough for our basic usage but was thoroughly surprised. For my parents they can’t tell the difference between the i5 vs M4. So plus one for the performance. I did upgrade the ram myself to 64GB of RAM due to having plenty in my iMac. Apple quality always impresses and all the software needs are compatible with this 7 year old device. I do recommend this device for anyone buying it around $160 or less. To us this performs better than our N5105 NUC for overall performance. WiFi does not have issue compared to the 6900HX in my Beelink PC. Read moreVer másVer menos
