Jeng jeng jeng!! It's coming soon boysssss. Ready your wallet!

This is the M4 Pro model. Hoping to see other models approved tomorrow. This is normal as M2 Mac mini also got 2 dates for other models, 1 day after another.

2 iMac already approved by sirim. Tomorrow wait them tabao breakfast first. makan dulu.. maybe by afternoon will update. Lol



example of last year Mac mini

still relax minum makan.. its friday perhaps. no time to put any real work. so far still just 1 M4 Pro model approved. Maybe need to wait til Monday then. As usual the way civil servant work. relax first. work comes last.

They added 2 Macbook Pro models instead,

Apple has a distinct advantage over other companies. They designed their own chip and operating system, which means their silicon is optimized for their devices. The Windows PC market is incredibly vast for desktops, and it’s unlikely that Qualcomm would create a chip to support AMD or Nvidia GPUs. So far, I don’t see any reason why they would enter the desktop market. Their pricing strategy is also quite discouraging for potential adopters of ARM devices.

There's also this one available on Kickstarter for those who needs ample space?

Do they even work with any dateline?

This guy did a power consumption test with windows equivalent price vs Mac Mini M4 at the 6 minute mark:

Came here to say that. lol. Finally. Hoedully can order by Friday

The base model price is too good which makes upgrading storage not worth it. if you buying something maybe RM4k, adding storage 512 with RM850, it seems fine. But at RM2069/2699 adding RM850 is too much lol.. that’s over 40% of the total price. It’s either getting base model or go to M4 Pro.

Upgrade ram also won’t upgrade storage.

lol already got people selling the 3D print chassis

Yeah but looks kinda cheap. Hope someone will make a proper aluminum version.

rm800 can buy electric starter petrol generator d.
this one is the best option , Malaysia petrol so cheap.

So there is 3 method i'm considering now to use the external ssd.

1. Only use external as normal storage and moving and install apps directly to it. When unplugged, nothing going to happen. In this case I have a 20gbps 1TB ssd I can use.

2. Moving whole home folder to external SSD. Everything will be installed there including some apps data. External ssd will have to be plugged in all the time. Not sure what will happened if mac wasn't boot up together with it or when it's unplugged. But it is also recommended to create a backup user with admin priviledge on the mac if that happens. In this case I will get the USB 4 enclosure + PCIE4 NVME SSD to fully utilize the usb 4 speed of 40gbps.

3. Install macOS to external SSD. This will disable Apple Intelligence and apple pay. This method I will skip.

So I'm undecided on method 1 or 2 right now. It's better to decide before start using the mac. If anyone wants tutorial on method 2 I can share the youtube link.

What do you guys think? Which one would you opt for if you're going for the base model?
Found even cheaper combo for the external SSD on taobao.

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.

damn that's real. So you mean the mcmc staff.. sold it maybe high price to china buyer to make video..?

we haven't even launch here so it's not like they can purchase it from our store.

but funny thing is China already launched. No reason they get from malaysia..

It says nothing about certification. So I don't think SG uses mcmc. Somemore SG launched earlier than us means they had already certified earlier than us. This is really strange how they got the mcmc certified device on their hands before launch.
