QUOTE(A1700 @ Nov 28 2024, 10:38 PM) come on, awaiting nearly for 1x month, no news yet. Can't blame them, this is a super popular model. Even they allow pre-order now they probably can't deliver it to you in time.With the price they giving, really don't make sense to buy other models like the MacBook Pro or Mac Pro models (if you're the budget conscious buyer). Also see many people just one person buying multiple Mac Mini M4's and stacking them too. |

QUOTE(muman7 @ Nov 29 2024, 10:20 AM) I was planning to upgrade the ram too thinking double the ram for RM850 is not bad and then I realized that's only 8GB not 16GB for that price lol. Think I'm good on 16GB coz my task are all normal usages, maybe some video editing occasionally. QUOTE(shyan90's @ Nov 29 2024, 10:21 AM) 8GB is minimum, 16gb is ok, 24gb future prove. With this type of price, better just buy base model and upgrade to the next base model when the Mac Mini M5 is available, atleast that's my plan. |

QUOTE(shredder @ Nov 29 2024, 10:10 AM) May I know how to get instalment option from the education store? Cant find the option when i tried to checkout QUOTE(muman7 @ Nov 29 2024, 10:14 AM) I noticed the option for instalments only appear on normal website but not on edu even before the launched. Maybe you can contact your cc bank directly if the option is not there on checkout. QUOTE(Skeuomorphic @ Nov 29 2024, 10:17 AM) Instalment offers are only available to individual customers using consumer credit cards. Apple Employee EPP orders, Education Store orders, business purchases and institutional purchases are not eligible for this offer. https://www.apple.com/my/shop/browse/financing QUOTE(shredder @ Nov 29 2024, 10:21 AM) 🥲 thats unfortunate Same here was planning make use of the 24 months installment but oh well. |

QUOTE(yvliew @ Nov 29 2024, 11:19 AM) Anyone ordered more than 1 with edu acc? Thinking order another one. I don’t know if one education account can make multiple purchase, never tried before. But I do know for sure you can make multiple apple accounts and use the same unidays verification account, as in the unidays is not tight to one particular apple account, it’s just used for verification. |

QUOTE(shyan90's @ Nov 29 2024, 02:22 PM) No point to upgrade like this also...its not a phone anyway..even phone you also no upgrade every year. Well no need upgrade every year, every 2-3 years also good enough. M1 was 2020, M2 2023, they skip M3 and M4 was 2024. So upgrade every 2 years is sweet spot. So sure you prefer spend RM4000 (upgrade ram/storage) all in one go now and keep 5 years that's up to you. Personally I rather spend RM2000 today for base model, and 2 years time upgrade again the next base model at RM2000. Barricade liked this post

QUOTE(kamikraze @ Dec 2 2024, 12:55 AM) Previously I work on windows for coding. Now I retired already and my Intel Xeon PC is too old, if broken no more replacement part available. I prefer windows, and if windows had an ARM desktop at this price and performance, I would pounce on it immediately but they don't, so that's why I'm buying this Mac Mini M4, the minute I can edit 4K video and export it super fast on my phone with ease, was the minute I knew my next computer had to be one of these ARM models. For laptop already got one. Now I'm planning to replace windows CPU with Mac Mini and reuse other part (monitor, mouse and keyboard). I'm no longer do coding, now focus on trading. Idk if MacOS will suit me or not. I'm buying anyway. Yes, considering M4 come with 16gb RAM is already good deal. But the size is small, worry if thermal will become an issue if run 24/7, or not? 256gb storage is not an issue for me as I'm using external storage for my stuff. Also if you worried about cooling, you can buy these USB fans and just place them around the casing (I am still waiting for someone to create a cooling case for the Mac Mini M4)   kamikraze liked this post

QUOTE(hellfried @ Dec 2 2024, 08:22 AM) 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 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. This post has been edited by jonthebaptist: Dec 2 2024, 12:42 PM |

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.   This post has been edited by jonthebaptist: Dec 2 2024, 04:28 PM |
