M4 Mac mini

side track. Is $863 Asus ROG Rapture GT-BE98 consider good price?

I am not good at finding lobangs, but I will consider this to be a good price myself.

I got mine for $848 during 11:11 but someone else shared that he got his below $800.

S$800 for a wireless router!? Insane…

Looks ugly.

I thought my Synology RT6600 is already too much at HK$2400.

Asus BE98 is double that so why the surprise? Lol

whoa, the Mac mini M4 feels....almost the same as my M1 Mac mini 16gb.
maybe slightly faster, a mili sec kind of faster.

The M1 Mac still a beast

guess depend on what kind of stuff you do on your machine. if just browsing, watching video, simple office stuff...don't think u will see huge difference.

I feel it looks cooler on my table.

only explanation is that ur use case does not even utilise any power beyond m1 chip only.

M1 is a very good chip even today. There is no need to upgrade if one is still fine with the performance. Get the m4 only if you r a new user or m1 is not powerful enough for you now.

For general web browsing activities, even the 2018 intel mac is still fast enough today.

I bought M4 Mac Mini coz got it for damn cheap. Student price then plus shopback/maribank cashback of $54.
So the total cost is like $645 or something.

Maybe slightly off topic, but is it possible to build a time machine backup in a folder inside an existing exFAT external hard disk? My M4 MBP has only 512gb storage so external hard disk is important.

Thanks!

My old LG 34" 1440P display. Considering to change to 27" 4K but I will miss the wide screen.

Dell U2723QE, still wondering whether I should go ahead to buy the studio display.
