M4 Mac mini

[Singrish]

Guys, need to check for this. My current m2 Mac mini, i did not opt for the 10G ethernet port.
So now ar, if I have a faster internet speed e.g. 5G. How ar?

Is it to go online shopping platform to buy an usb c to ethernet adapter that can support the speed?
In market there is only max 2.5gb ar?

According to chatgpt can buy external thunderbolt to 10gbps ethernet adaptor.

rumor sites and youtubes all say Mac Mini M4 coming in October. I damn excited to get coz currently using the M1 Mac Mini for the past 3 years plus. Time for an upgrade.

The M1 Mac mini will be repurposed as home entertainment PC.

Not that i can decently play Skyrim, RDR2 or Ready or Not on my 2018 MBP so Boot Camp has lost its appeal for me especially with some new Mac apps needing M processor if not wouldn’t even run.

So little interest in M4 mac mini? Im hoping its not so small that its missing an ethernet port though cos im planning to go 10 gbps and a 10 gbps ethernet adapter is frigging expensive plus bulky and ugly

Mine is M2 Pro Mac Mini so maybe wait till 2026 or 2027 then upgrade.

Just realised in all likelihood my M4 Pro mac mini with 16gb ram & 10 gbps ethernet will cost less than my Apple Studio Display

Apple Studio Display is quite expensive.

Apple Studio Display is quite expensive.

Lazada used to sell it and the price is quite attractive. Unfortunately now no longer selling liao. Wonder why.

Apple Studio Display is quite expensive.

But the quality of the display is really solid lah. Some more no issues with scaling unlike regular 4K monitors

Why has the name of the thread been changed from M2 mac mini into M4? Very confusing. There’s 20 pages of discussion of M2. Should just create a separate thread for M4 mac mini instead.

A agree

Suddenly see m4 haven’t come out but all ready with 400 posts here over

yes, this is the good thing... after the mac that can bootcamp retires.. then can switch to windows PC....

so certainly not worth it to get m2 mac mini despite that it comes with free airpods 4 with the back to school offer rite???

No, M4 >>> M2

It's 50% faster in both single and multi-core

Depends on your needs. If basic use & you’re not the type who everything must have latest & best then M2 still worth it esp with discount, but probably safer to bump the RAM to 16 gb.

basically 6% cashback from shopback (only for 28 sept 2024) + free airpods 4 that is worth $199 （back to school this year.. but obviously next year should be the same）

then i think i will cancel the order... especially mac mini other than new m chip, will also likely to get redesign... no pt to get the outdated design now.. and also in another 1 month time will be refreshed...
