Are you doing or running any apps differently than just using the TV as an extra large display w/ wireless kbm?

Drives me crazy how much they charge for more hard drive space given how cheap memory is anymore.
I move all apps to the external SSD. don't see any difference in daily usage.

Now that the iPhone base storage is 256gb maybe it's time for apple to increase base storage of Mac to 512gb. Just saying...

My biggest complaint with Apple!!! They sell memory for more than 400% above suggested list for any other brand of SSD. It's just nuts.

to be fair, an external could attach right to this and give as many TB's as you need. even better have a dedicated NAS. but it's worth it for the build quality, it will probably last 8+ years

It's how they make money. The alternative would be a much higher base price. Consumers seem to prefer it this way.

Pretty expensive for a social media machine, IMO.
No one is running anything heavy-duty on these.
But the power is there if you want to. It's funny how we say these are "casual" computers, yet the performance destroys any kind of high-end media production setup from 10 years ago...yet those pros accomplished all kinds of projects back then and thought their setups were futureproof. You can easily edit multiple 4K videos, compose/produce music, etc with this without noticeable lag.

Not if you want to play games or do serious work. Expensive reddit machine really. Lmao people thinking they're going to run AI models. You're not.
Running AI models here. No, not 235B models, but most don't need that. Serious work? Editing video and audio on the base model. It's $499. Got mine for $450 (months ago).

Got this on the steal of a deal at MC for 383 open box. IMO I think a deal on the base model is the most worth. I have an iPad, older m1 MacBook Air, and a windows desktop, and I am surprised at how much I am liking the Mac mini. Turns out I really don't need the portability of a laptop as much as I thought, being at the desk is just fine for this. Love having so much IO, can't remember when I've had this much IO on a Mac. For Displays, it outputs 4k240, 4k120, and 2k144hz absolutely no problem, that's so impressive! I mainly do passive things on the Mac mini, any real intensive work I use the windows desktop.
If and when I end up not using the Mac mini on the daily, I intend to explore of making it have NAS like capabilities, saw a few YouTube videos on it and looks pretty interesting.
Definitely get it, didn't know until getting it but love the Mac mini! Esp if you have the extras in your setup. Might get the Logitech mx keys on Black Friday.

You don't get 4k quality through streaming services(Netflix, etc.) on this box, correct?

On the M4 Mac Mini? You do. You could run 3 TVs in 4K quality through streaming on a M4 Mac Mini (if you wanted to.) It's completely silent too, I have yet to make it spool up its fan.
