I just got a "refurbished" Minisforum PC. When I got it, it was rattling. I opened it up and found a spacing screw laying on the motherboard. The PC wouldn't post. I opened it up again and found where the screw belonged, installed it, and the PC finally did boot. The PC crashed several times. Event Viewer showed multiple memory errors occurring until the PC either blue screened or simply rebooted. I tried multiple drivers and lowered the RAM speed. The RAM is good, so the problem is unfixable by me. Support would respond with up to one email a day at 4 am, even when I responded at 4:01 am I had to wait 24 hours for the next irrelevant email. Minisforum obviously doesn't refurbish their PCs, these are just returns they send back out. Its cheaper to pay for shipping and have the customer troubleshoot problems.

I mean, the point is you aren't paying for the Apple name at $400. That M4 beats the i9 hands down on anything single-threaded.

So yeah: if you are looking to run a mini server that can take advantage of multi-threading, then choose this one.

If you are looking for a mini machine for dev / desktop / creative, and are MacOS literate, the M4 is going to serve you far better.

If you are looking to do any gaming beyond casual, look elsewhere.

Capable of what? This is a desktop mini workstation, not a gaming computer.

Beware, I purchased the refurb NAB9 and it died after 3 weeks, they sent me a replacement which took 2 weeks to arrive and was a totally different model, it was a nightmare dealing with their support.

Depends. This lends itself to a lot of customization and running Linux in a variety of methods such including a home server. Unless you absolutely need to run Windows, I think the Mac Mini is a better computer.

Disagree. Even if you're not gaming my $250 Dell monitor does 4k120 for standard office work. It's v nice.
The difference for office work must be hardly noticeable. Where do you even detect it?

Yeah, was going to ask how capable the onboard graphics were.
100% not doing 4k anything. Almost all of these minis can do 1080p LOW for some older titles. Even CS2 and Valorant but probably still better options out there but 500+ if you really want a mini.

Unless you want to be trapped in Mac hell, get anything else. At least with this, you can stick with Win$ and strip it out and stop upates or better yet, go Linux. Mac is almost always worse since you are trapped and paying for the Apple name.

It's coming soon to the M4 chip, I think.

Still pretty limited compared to any intel or AMD.
