The GPU on the Mac Mini M4 chip is 20-30% stronger than the now-aging 680m.
https://www.cpu-monkey.com/en/com..._pro_6850
The CPU on the Mac Mini M4 is 40% stronger in single core performance, and 10% stronger in multicore performance.
The Mac Mini has 16GB memory vs the 24GB memory here (all of it is soldered down on BOTH options).
Basically, unless you're looking to play Fortnite or Overwatch (which the PC will definitely do on low-medium settings), the value is all on that Mac Mini M4 at Microcenter, if you're getting it within $50 of this. I say catch 22, because while its stronger for gaming, your number of games is less.
The CPU being 40% stronger on single core means all emulation (from Switch downward) will be crushed under the foot of the Mac Mini M4.
Community Reviews
The Aoostar MACO is a compact Ryzen 7 PRO mini PC that stands out for HTPC use, light gaming, emulation, and home lab tinkering. It brings 24GB of soldered LPDDR5, a 1TB SSD, dual 2.5GbE, OCuLink, and empty M.2 slots, so storage and expansion are stronger than on many small desktops. External NVMe over USB or Thunderbolt can also work well, and Proxmox, Linux, Windows, and even a Windows 11 Pro VM have been run on it. The main tradeoffs are soldered RAM and the usual uncertainty around seller shipping and service. It fits best when expandability and flexibility matter more than future memory upgrades.
The system can run Proxmox quickly and stay stable for home lab use cases.
External NVMe storage can achieve read and write speeds similar to the internal drive.
The mini PC supports Linux-friendly setups and can host Windows 11 Pro in a VM.
Onboard M.2 expansion options can support hypervisor-style deployments without relying solely on external storage.
Shipping updates can be missing or unhelpful when ordering through the seller.
The RAM is soldered down, which prevents future RAM upgrades.
Internal storage performance may be better than Thunderbolt NVMe enclosures for random I/O workloads.
The seller experience can raise security concerns about repackaged devices and potential botnet or identity theft risk.
