Is this the effect of Mac Mini M4? Now Windows ARM Snapdragon X models have discounted:

they realized that nobody is switching to arm from x86. The ryzen ai chip is already very efficient. If windows, there's only x86. I really wouldn't go for the arm cpu.

start at 2:00.

Because high price, the adoption not there. You see Mac Mini M4, such a low price now many talking about the mass migration of Windows users to Mac OS.

As long as I can buy something like below, why I want to spend RM4000-RM6000 for an ARM alternative?

Wait the price come down, the adoption to Windows ARM will be there. I'm still waiting for Desktop ARM windows too.

Macs don't allow to install Windows or Linux directly at startup (last time got Bootcamp for Windows, now no more), they only allow virtualization. Windows ARM machines allow Linux on ARM, so the adoption is just waiting to happen when prices come down.

Been looking into this, because my pc started to act up. Found this aluminum stand today, looks very nice.
3 colours, grey, space grey, black.
¥299, ship to here should be around RM200+

Looks not bad, and because aluminum might also help with the heat dissipation via conduction

The first batch also haven't shipped, see no one saying there's has ship, I doubt can even get by next Tuesday (10/12). Probably will get by next Friday (13/12) for the early buyers.

Intel LNL is beating these snapdragon laptops, same battery life, better compatibility with x86 and so much better graphics performance.

for sure, right now doesn't make sense to buy snapdragon x unless you have money to throw. refer Post #510.

No update for me too sad.gif
Still hoping for the coming Tuesday to be delivered.

Wait so long, Even snapdragon x now introduce their own version of Mac Mini M4 already.

Yeah same here too. I thought it will change status to preparing to ship but it moved back order place rather than processing now.

Someone posted earlier I think here that TRX already get the stock atleast a week ago, just haven't sold to public yet, or maybe was on reddit

Walk in today at Apple TRX and bought my first ever Mac Mini after they confirm that they just received their stock this morning. This is my first my venture into Mac OS. Got back and set them using my 4k tv, paired with Bluetooth mouse and keyboard. Setup was easy not like windows as all of the item paired automatically. Just that I still got to learn all the basics regarding Mac operating system. Base model is enough for me. Planning to hook this mac mini to two display.

QUOTE(muman7 @ Dec 7 2024, 07:23 PM)
Same here. Just tried my luck, walked in and saw the new mini. Checked the box and verified it's indeed 2024 version. Grab one and pay immediately. Now I'm on my way back, can't believe how small the packaging box compare to M2 Mac mini's. Will update you guys with photo later after I have a taste of it.

Can't wait!
The mag mini!
I meant the magnum mini.

Are you able to use education pricing with walk in? If yes how? Need to flash some Student ID or Work pass?
