Apples M4 Mac Mini on paper seems to be too good of a deal, but are they hiding anything? We build a $600 Gaming PC and a $600 Mini PC to compare in some benchmarks, and sure enough there is some truth to this Mac Mini being a power house, but by just how much?

Deals for Days. Big home savings are happening now.
why not buy a raspbarry-pi like dev board and use it for the purpose you just mentioned. and the cost is just about less than 2 burritos.
256GB SSD?!? what year is this? 2012?
Bless me with 1 for Christmas please Linus ❤😂
“What’s the need to upgrade?”
Crucial but often overlooked question. $600 every 2 years vs $600 every 4 years is a huge difference when budget is the primary constraint.
Apple laptops and desktops suddenly look a lot more affordable when you look at it through that lens.
Hi own a Mac Mini M2 Pro, i just uses the Power Button 2 or 3 times in over an Year. So no big Deal with the Button ….
> using Cinebench R23 that doesn't have an Apple Silicon build, while R24 does
> using Shadow of the Tomb Raider that doesn't have an Apple Silicon build
> picking PC parts on sale while the Mac Mini is offered with a $100 student discount
> mentioning none of the above
All the fuss about QA of your videos a bit back and here we're again… Mind you, the M4 Mac Mini has been out for more than a month now, so you had plenty of time to do your due diligence as well.
Can you make a video about the Willow Google quantum chip i would like to understand what it does
I still think that a steam deck is better…
7:45 "You really look like budget Sam Bankman-Fried now" ended me! 😂
Good video as usual
Please someone tell Linus that Tomb Rider isn't native to apple silicon. Omg, it's been 4 years, and they still benchmarking Tomb Rider.
In native games like Resident Evil 2/4/Village, Death Stranding it scores the same average fps as 3050
Got the message Tim😏 Time to let my 2014 Mini do the long backup🤗
I picked up the 16gb/512gb iMac yesterday – its an upgrade from 2017 iMac 5k Retina
Cinebench 24
GPU 3906
CPU M 890
CPU S 170
Cinebench R23
Multi core 12685
Single Core 2181
Geekbench
Single Core 3775
Multi Core 14870
OpenCL 36081
My main concern about the mini is the fan position, over time it is going to get clogged, I am certain not everyone has a desk that is spotless…
Then if you add on the extras to bring the Mini up to the iMac..
Display £1500 to £949 (studio display or Samsung 5k), 4k monitors are available with scaling around £350 – 700
Webcam £140 (Logi Brio)
Speakers £100 (Edifier)
Magic Keyboard Touch £149
Magic Mouse £79
you come out at just under £1699 or well over if you choose the Studio Display. To note I had difficulty getting the Logi MX keys/M720 mouse to work – I had to use the new magic keyboard and mouse to set them up first, the Logi software migrated but did not work. Bare that in mind as well.
issue is with apples global prices, in sweden for example its over 850$…..
Not tempted yet,my M1 base model mac mini is still going strong and serves me well!
oh wow who tf thought this vest is a good idea?? one of the worst (of many very ugly) ltt products yet

The drake meme lol
Come on, 256GB is not enough for day to day use. Even my base windows 11 install with a few apps is already taking up over 130GB.
Gotta wonder if the higher capacity ram/storage M4 dies are lower yield at those prices.
There is hope for third party modules for M4 Mac Mini so if you need just browsing machine just buy base model and use external storage for all your files and hope some company will be able to make and sell third party storage modules.
Upgrades are just pure scam though and there is no reason to charge 200$ for small upgrade in this day and age. If you don't want base model just build SFF desktop with some entry level gpu.
No one is talking that cinebench 2024, strangely considered that has the apple logo in their website in the partner tab, gives a huge bump in all benchmarks to apple silicons? Now even the old ones are much better than the competitors😂
LTT videos now are a complete joke
Just received morefine s500+ with amd 7840hs, 16gb, 1tb. 330usd+ tax. So how about this value??
It rather feels like they should've put more emphasis on the comment that the Minisforum Venus was purchased with a significant discount, which doesn't really make it price comparable with the Mac Mini in normal circumstances.
This is a computer that will be good enough for 95% of the people… yet it's small, efficient, quite cheap, and it's an apple product… unheard of.
been using mac mini m4 for a week, and it is amazing! for a $600 it is insane. and for the base model + another extra $200 for external 2tb nvme + enclosure. it is working just fine and future proof😂
Always funny to see the Odoo sponsorship… While literally watching the video at work as a developer at an Odoo consultancy
Why do they Pay more for Ram? Cant we just download it for free?
