ughh.. 3:30 am surf taobao.. see this.. add to cart.. see price.. seems good.. direct ship somemore.. but wasn't gonna purchase.. but i don't know why I thought still can press next before actually pay for it.. press.... it paid directly. don't even need secure2u since i added my CC... should i go ahead or cancel? they should accept cancel right??? or i should just 將錯就錯???

if u dont want, better cancel

midnight shopping very dangerous...i tot you say rather go for ram then SSD..hahah

That's when you're customizing your mac before checkout. 2TB is RM3400 from Apple.... now around 800++... I think ok lo. Seller ship very fast... already ship before I can think more. So biting the bullet.

Haha..is ok..so far how was the review on M4? I haven't pull my trigger yet...but seems like everywhere has ready stock now.

Loving it more than when I was using M1 and M2 mac mini. Using it as portable too sometimes. Won't go wrong with base model.

Quite cheap compared to aliexpress. How much 1TB version?

1TB Toshiba nand is RM531 shipped. My 2TB is Sandisk nand.

arrived liao.. so fast..

Wanted to purchase 1 too, but my 256gb still got 180gb free. Haha external ssd very handy

It is fairly easy to swap out the storage. Opening the bottom cover isn't as difficult as I thought. Just get those suction and lift up a bit, have some thin guitar picks to slide it in. roughly 20-25min work then it's done. I think took longest is finding the right size screw driver bits..

how was the performance? changed before on macbook but poor performance compare to original

Haven’t restore macOS . Need go to friend house later to do it. Customer reviews shows around 3200MB/s. Faster than stock 256GB but not as fast as Apple 2TB. I would think Apple 2TB can reach 4000MB/s. Will update after restore

test performance cannot see much. most important is boot and app load

Restored successfully.

Remember time machine every week to avoid data lost...as this still very new product...

Is it worth using Mac mini m4 as dedicated desktop and play steam games ?

For me already did that 4 years ago. Mac not for gaming

i would say depends what you play...if dota those still OK..other better dont la.

what games do you play? Native steam games for macOS isn't many. If you want to run over parallel, some games are not smooth. I tried COunter Strike 2.. couldnt get it to run smooth. I play some epic games like Rocket league and it ran so smooth. Batman also ran smooth.
