A WEEK OF HEAVY VIDEO EDITING AND CODING LATER — HIS VERDICT ON THE $599 MAC MINI M4 IS IN. Base model. M4 chip. 16GB RAM. The cheapest configuration Apple sells. And it handled a full week of intense video editing plus coding in Claude without breaking a sweat. Size? Barely takes up desk space. Fits straight into a backpack. Ports? Solid for its size, but grab an external hub — no USB-A, no SD card slot out of the box. His biggest takeaway: people massively underestimate Apple Silicon's raw efficiency. You don't need to upgrade to the pricier configs — this base model handles most workloads, even heavier ones, with room to spare. His verdict: if portability isn't your top priority, this is one of the best value products Apple currently makes. The most powerful $599 you can spend on a computer right now.
