The 2024 Mac mini with M4, 16GB RAM, and 256GB SSD is drawing attention as a compact desktop that feels much smaller than the M1 model while handling migration smoothly. The graphics gains stand out, and the base configuration is being used for everyday work and even video editing without trouble. The main knocks are the tight 256GB storage and, for heavier multitasking, 16GB RAM can feel limiting. Pricing has also been seen lower at Micro Center and Best Buy, with some bundles adding longer warranty coverage.
The $499 price can be a better choice than buying a used Mac mini from eBay or Amazon.
A used-like-new unit reportedly arrived basically brand new and support reportedly extended AppleCare+ coverage through October 2026.
Open-box pricing at Micro Center reportedly included a 60-day window to activate AppleCare if desired.
The M4 Mac mini reportedly supports a smooth migration from an older M1 Mac mini while offering a much smaller footprint.
The 256GB SSD configuration can feel limiting for app libraries, since fast external storage can be expensive.
16GB RAM can be insufficient for workflows that swap frequently, especially when using Parallels and browsing.
Apple AI features can feel limited or less useful so far, even though graphics improvements are notable.
Micro Center pricing can fluctuate, so the $450 deal may come and go rather than staying steady.

Doordash is giving $20 for $200 bestbuy gift card with limit upto 2.
I bought couple of $200 bestbuy gift card from doordash for $360. So effectively the price came down to $410 + taxes.
Well damn...

I'm not talking about storage for documents/etc, but for applications/libraries--any kind of software that's going to use the power/ram on this thing (even 16gb) is gonna take some storage space (I'm thinking graphics software, music editing, video editing/etc)...a usb 2/3 storage drive isn't going to enable the use of all this power. If you're just web-browsing, an M1 will do just fine for many more years I would think.
People complain about what apple charges for storage upgrades, but to get equivalent performance via thunderbolt it's the same or more $ from what I can tell.
or maybe I just really need more application storage than the average power user?
I've been debating picking one of these up as I'm still using a 2019 Intel iMac. What I'm probably going to do is hook the M4 mini up to the iMac, use the iMac screen via screen sharing, and use the iMac for most storage (the iMac is modified and has a 2TB NVME and a 2TB SATA so lots of storage internally).

also, 99% of people are not going to need more than 16gb on this thing. i have edited plenty of huge videos together in premiere on my m1pro with 16gb ram with no issue.
