Just try what's the harm?

Personally never really buy much on Apple website. Even my iPad recently I bought from Lazada cause good deal (better than edu account).

But this Mac mini M4 for sure will buy from apple site cause cheaper than anywhere else.

Now I cannot decide between standard M4 or to go with the M4 Pro for larger RAM and storage too, but too bad M4 Pro doesn't have discount. So most probably just go with standard M4.

This power bank comes with 3-pin and even solar panel for just rm300+. Need someone test see if it works. If it does you can even take your Mac mini M4 camping.

Yeah I think you're right, very easily can be mistaken

Seller can pandai say he not selling the print, he selling the service to print it

So anyone thinking of hooking up a power bank to this thing can think otherwise. Price + mobility will be a factor here.

We're looking at RM2500 + RM1000, might as well just get a MacBook (although with slower processor).

Setting it up vertical might help with cooling and also not to mention wireless range of the wifi and bluetooth, but If you're going to put a case on the Mac Mini M4, might as well be a cooling case, to help with the thermals and better sustain long throttling performance.

These are just example from the past:

Someone did the math on how much electricity they save by using Mac Mini M4 here:

not in English but you can understand the concept, you can use any old laptop lying around with the mac mini m4.

Give life back to an old MacBook or iMac

I was just looking at the Lenovo Windows ARM and Snapdragon offerings.

Quite expensive compared to Mac Mini M4. They don't even have anything "budget" yet.

I know how good Mac OS is. Was just simple comparison, we need to be able to compare to see what a bargain this Mac mini M4 is.

Well when there is no Desktop Windows ARM PC yet, you gotta compare with the next best thing, it's laptops. There was a prototype costing $899 (roughly RM4000) desktop Snapdragon that has since been cancelled:

And there are people who have tested the different processors to see how fast each are:

Yeah better double check, by right smartphone is technically a computer but I've seen people complain LHDN don't accept it. Or iPad.

If me I just cincai claim, don't really think LHDN will audit such small purchase.

Found a cheaper power bank with 3-pin, if price like this not bad actually for a portable set up.
