Yesterday brought new iMacs but today's update is the Mac Mini. Maybe Apple's best computer, but way underestimated.

M4 Mac Mini at $599 is such an great value for what you get. It's essentially desktop version of the $1600 MBP.

Plus it will probably be even cheaper than that from costco once they have it

No. Any monitor or keyboard/mouse can be used.

As a non-gamer I don't know what's needed. Is it a graphics deficiency?

Developers just largely abandoned the Mac platform many years ago.

It's more that many games are never ported to Mac.

No.. the GPU in the M[x] SoC's are actually quite powerful.. The issue is software

I don't game much but the M1 does play CS:GO legacy well. And the mini has active cooling.

Just noticed the base model even comes with 16GB of ram now. That's great! Still only 256GB storage in base.

~$75 gets you a 1tb M.2 drive.. Put it in a $50 enclosure and get 3k MB/s Read/Write.

Yeah that's more like it. I raised my eyebrows when you said $50 for the enclosure combined with that speed.
