I love that apple finally decided to give base models a reasonable 16 gb. This is a good deal.
The m4 is uses Arm technology similar to Windows Snapdragon.
I find most people are happiest staying with what they are most familiar with .

Running Plex for years on a pretty high powered gaming desktop and buffering would take several seconds on some of the higher res videos. Not with Mac (base m4 Mac mini). Near instant.
Power management is way better on Mac. On my MBP I can close the lid and it has power days later. Hit or miss on PC. Open it right up and it's immediately ready to use. On a pc laptop good luck.
Sound on MBP is better than any other laptop. Also the sound from the Mac mini speaker is decent.
Near silent operation on both mini and MBP. PC desktop or laptops typically run fans pretty noisy.
From someone that was a fierce defender of PC for all of my adult life, I converted and I'm really annoyed with having to use a PC for work.
It's also significantly more power efficient than your average desktop PC - running more like 2-4W vs ~50-100W+ during real-world idle usage, ranging from 25-50x more efficient.

I will probably wait and see if I can get this under $400 from somewhere.

In general, if you can deal with MacOS quirks, this is probably a great deal for most people who dont game on their PCs. MacOS seems more stable compared to windows 11 chaos as well.
I still feel more productive on a Windows PC but the other advantages really close the gap IMO. Going forward, I am likely to use a Macbook Pro/ Mac mini combo primarily with occasional use of my Windows Gaming PC when I really need to turn it on.
Its big loud and heavy and I frankly dont game on PC that much anymore.
