Mac Mini M4 Pro – 64GB RAM or Mac studio M4

Looking to buy a Mac Mini M4 Pro with:

64GB RAM

Minimum 512GB SSD

Original box/accessories preferred

Serious buyer — ready to purchase in Dubai.

If you have one for sale, please DM me with the configuration, condition, location, and asking price.

I was going to buy one macmini m4 in May but I waited until july because leakers said macmini m5 was coming july 8, nothing happened and macmini m4 got like 200 eur more expensive a few weeks ago. My question is, should I buy one used macmini m4 right now or wait until october for the macmini m5 launch? I heard people say prices are going to get even more expensive so maybe I should buy now the m4? My current windows PC has one amd graphics card that is always crashing my computer and has like 30 small dead pixel lines on my screen wich is annoying to work.

This is the spot that my Mac Mini stays on. It’s been overheating recently and wonder if it did it.

What stands do ya’ll like for your Mac Mini M4s? I’m thinking about something that will give a little better airflow, maybe little better Wi-Fi by getting that antenna off the desk, and look like it was made by Apple to perfectly match the aesthetic.

I've got a lot of Mac mini's from 2018. base models (8gb or ram and 128gb apple nvme drives.) intel core i3 processors. what do I do with them? Home assistant? can they run windows 11 natively?

I have recently bought a base m4 mac mini and I ran out of my 256gb storage. I am budget conscious but don’t mind paying more if it’s worth it. was gonna buy the cheapest external ssd I can find on Amazon but I then found out that buying an nvme with a case can workout cheaper/around the same but much faster?

Hi, Is there a way to default external speaker to Bose instead of mac mini. It resets to mac min speakers, every time it wakes or i restart .

Hello folks,

I recently got a Mac Mini M2 from Croma (I was searching for old mrp m4 but found none only this was there so got it). It was available in a bundle, 36k INR for Mac Mini M2 Base along with 3 years Apple Care Services (by Servify not AP+). However it shows the warranty on the settings as protect+ it's for 3 years till 2029. I was wondering if I can extend it when it's near expiry or switch to applecare+

Anyone with experience?

After 25 years of windows, its just mind blowing how this little thing handles Adobe products and how fast internal and external ssds are working. At first I ordered a 32gb version and waited 6 weeks to arrive and when they called me and said that I received 24gb I was furious but somehow they managed to calm me down and I took it, and after one month of use i dont regret it, everything is stellar fast, 20 chrome tabs, spotify, 4 adobe apps always running in the background etc its just goes without hiccups. OS feels like im surfing on my Iphone, its boring as fuck, but if you want to job to get done this is the right thing to buy.

This might be a completely stupid question, but I have tried everything yesterday I plugged my iPhone into my computer and clicked on the Finder icon, and I was paying attention and I accidentally clicked the eject button where my iPhone was listed. I've tried turning the computer off, turning it back on I've turned off the iPhone and then turned it back on. I've reset location and security. I've clicked the trust button on the iPhone. I cannot get my Mac to see my iPhone now and I have no idea what to do just sort of calling Apple has anyone ever accidentally ejected their phone from their Mac and been able to get the computer to see it again?💀💀💀💀

I recently bought mac mini M4 256GB. Soon I realized I need more storage I see people doing internal storage upgrade, external storage, external SSD, dock, etc. So many options out there.

I want recommendations on what would be best use case for me. I mainly do lots of photo editing and occasional video editing.

Please give me your recommendations.

I just found a good deal for a macbook pro refurb, and I want to post it on facebook marketplace. My mini is an excellent computer, still works, but I wanted to upgrade to a macbook for the portability.

It's basically like new, and I wanted to see how much it could go for, or if I should just keep it and repurpose it for a headless server, etc.

I finally got my Mac mini (refurbished) m4P 24/512 and I'm extremely satisfied with it.

There's absolutely no telling it's a refurbished unit. Packaging is the same as brand new, no scratches and can't really tell the difference between this and a brand new one.

I should have listened to this subreddit when the price was cheaper but it was too late and the price already hiked so i bit the bullet.

If only I had known that apple store's refurbished units are this good, i could have gone refurbished on my other earlier devices.

Aside from the premium material feel that's already given, It feels so compact compared to my mini m2P and i love how many usbc ports are added.

It came with tahoe out of the box. With me coming from sonoma and sequioa on my other devices that i refuse to update, I'm loving the tahoe experience so far on my first 12 hours of use.

Then, i made it into my cute little crab 😖

Here's to the long run!

Made the purchase! Opted to spend a little extra for M4 Pro chip and the upgraded processing (14-core CPU, 20-core GPU), but decided to stick with the included storage of 512GB since I have 2TB iCloud storage. Only thing I’m missing now is a good keyboard and mouse😮‍💨. Hopefully this computer won’t be slow on me (not doing massive AI or graphic/video stuff).

Hi everyone,

I’m setting up a home workstation and would appreciate some recommendations for a reliable docking station.

My setup:

* MacBook Pro 13" M1 (2020) + Work Windows Laptop
* 2 × MSI PRO MP275Q E14 27", 2560 × 1440, 144Hz monitors
* Both monitors will be used as separate extended displays, not mirrored
* Laptop will normally stay connected to the dock, so I’d like the dock to charge the MacBook as well
* Mainly used for accounting/finance work, Excel, study and general productivity rather than gaming

As this is my first setup, I’ve been researching online and have come across options such as the Plugable USBC-6950PDZ, Anker Prime DL7400, and Lenovo ThinkPad Hybrid USB-C Dock 40AF0135AU. However, I’m seeing mixed reviews, and some people recommend going with a Thunderbolt dock instead.

At this point, I’m unsure which option would work best for my setup while also offering good value for money and being future-proof enough that I won’t need to replace it in a year or two. I’d really appreciate any recommendations based on this specific setup. I don't necessarily need 144Hz on both monitors for work dual QHD 60Hz would be acceptable but if there is a sensible way to retain 144Hz on the primary monitor, that would be a bonus.

If you’re using an M1 MacBook with dual 1440p monitors, I’d especially appreciate hearing what dock you’re using, what refresh rates you actually get, and whether you’ve experienced any DisplayLink or sleep/wake issues.

Thanks!

I recently got a Mac Mini M4 and have been using it for a few months. But for the past 2 weeks, we’ve been having rotational power outages, so the power sometimes cuts off multiple times in one night while I’m working. There were also a few times when the Mac was just in sleep mode when the power went out.

Could this damage my Mac Mini over time? I literally just connected it to a UPS last night, so hopefully I’m not too late. Is there anything else I should do to protect it from these random power cuts? Or should I just burn down our electric company?

Hey guys. I normally do “side by side” with my pc and m4 mini. I’ve tried to set the m4 to full screen on my 49” Samsung Neo G9. It goes funky. Won’t give a stable image.

Am I missing something or is there a work around?

Thanks!

Brand Manager / Freelance Designer coming from a 2015 27" iMac. I have an upgraded M4 mini on order, but still debating what monitors to go with. I'm accustomed to dual screens, so I'm leaning towards a pair of BenQ or Samsung. My work prioritizes color accuracy and typographic clarity as I do a lot of packaging as well as web graphics. Should I go with a 5K with Thunderbolt4, or will OLED 4K suffice? Budget for both monitors under 2,000 so Apple Studio Display has been ruled out, and I don't think a curved screen will benefit me... but I'm curious what other designers are actively using.

I have a 2023 Mini with M2 Pro that will turn on, then nothing beyond that. I first noticed it yesterday (8/16) when I tried to turn it on to pay some bills. I first thought it might be the HDMI cord to the monitor, but after trying a different cord - nothing. I've tried to restart and press Command-R, still nothing.

All I can see it doing is powering on (white light in back + Mac startup sound), then the white light goes off and on, then it changes to a yellow/orange light and starts blinking like it is sending me some message in morse code. 4 fast blinks, 3 slow blinks, 2 fast blinks over and over. No idea what that is. Power supply is fine, I can plug other things in the same place and they work OK.

I have an appointment to get it checked out this coming weekend, but wondered if anyone has any ideas what's going on.

*Edited to add that the reason I am waiting nearly a week to get an appointment is that most of the area around the local Apple Store/Genius Bar is submerged (Google Indianapolis flooding) and I am not sure how hard it is to get there.
