i think this is not Thunderbolt 4 but it's USB 4?  I thought TB4 not the same as USB4?

I am kind of confused too actually.

Sorry usb 4.

do update us the ugreen usb 4 enclosure you bought. My orico one should come before my mac mini..
*
I tested using my MacBook Pro, detected as thunderbolt4. Tested transfer 7gb less than 10 sec. Cannot hear fan. It is bronze metal for heat , provided thermal pad and rubber outside to protect the enclosure. Did not run benchmark as company laptop (cannot install app). But I got ugreen 5gb enclosure , so it is faster.

Why didn't you stick to windows, saw many great laptop deals for windows. For RM2500 you can get a seriously good machine already.

M4 already very powerful vs other machine outside. I find it good deal.
If you give me a choice, my answer is apple vs windows. I changed to apple since 5 years ago. Os and stability is the problem on windows. A lot of people compare the powerful of android and windows laptop hw , but apple wont lose due to it ecosystem integration, stability and use less resources

Anyone knows how much a 2020 27" iMac (intel) is worth on the second hand market? It has 256 G of HD space. I may consider letting mine go since I am moving on to the M4 mac mini
*
2020 no value already. Apple trade in normally 3-5 years. more than 5 years no value.

QUOTE(jonthebaptist @ Dec 2 2024, 12:42 PM)
Can consider using it as monitor for your new Mac Mini M4.

Infact since it's Intel, I'd run bootcamp (they don't have this for M series Macs, only Intel Macs) on the old iMac Intel, so whenever I need windows it's just there.

So you get the best of both worlds Mac and Windows.
*
provided the ssd/storage lifespan still valid.

anyway, i got faulty macbook pro intel on display. still can use with external monitor /tv. Currently use at living room
Use till die and throw away.

One thing bad about the Mac Mini M4 is that it's too affordable until all the accessories seem overpriced.

Like I was looking at the magic trackpad, and the price I really cannot justify spending 1/4 the price of a Mac Mini M4 on this.
