Most Apple computers have a starting price of around €1,000, which is usually a high price for many potential buyers. However, the new Mac mini M4 is a game-changer with its affordable price of €719. In a context of inflation and increased costs in various sectors, this proposal is really attractive.

To put this in perspective, the M4 is two generations more advanced than the M2, which is found in the $3,500 Vision Pro in the US.
The Mac mini M4 is a beast
The base model of the Mac mini M4 does not fall short on features. In fact, it is quite a beast, since for only €719, you get:
- 16GB RAM
- 256 GB SSD storage
- Ability to connect up to three screens
- Two front USB-C ports and a headphone jack
- Three Thunderbolt 4 ports
- HDMI port
- Gigabit Ethernet port
- First carbon neutral Mac
All this in a compact format 5cm high x 12.7 cm deep and wide, which even makes us wonder: how can it be so tiny? This combination of specifications makes it an attractive option for any user, including those coming from Windows backgrounds.
Seamless integration with iPhone
The Mac mini M4 arrives at a time when macOS has become more efficient when interconnecting for iPhone users. Many PC owners are also iPhone users, and Apple has been constantly improving the experience between both platforms. Features like Universal Clipboard, Handoff, AirDrop, and text message forwarding make networking in the Apple ecosystem tempting.
The recent addition of the Continuity Camera allows Mac mini users to do without a dedicated webcam if they have an iPhone. And the iPhone Mirroring feature in macOS Sequoia, which makes it easier to integrate between the two devices, could be a deal breaker for PC users considering the switch.
With all these advantages, the Mac mini M4 is positioned as one of Apple’s best value for money products. If you already have a monitor, keyboard and mouse, €719 becomes a more than reasonable investment.
