this thing is not smaller, just smaller by weight but bigger than the previous models in size

Solid offering with only a couple of nits. Base network connectivity is 1Gb Ethernet rather than 2.5Gb. At least 10G Ethernet is an option at +$100 on all models 👍 A 32MB memory option on the Pro version would've been nice too.
Because it's better than in the back

Egad, Holmes, how do you do it!
It’s on the bottom lol
Very good pricing on the base Mac mini. At $599, you get 10/10 cores, 16GB RAM, 256GB storage. The comparable 10/10 iMac is $1,499 - so you are basically paying $900 for the monitor, keyboard and trackpad on the iMac, which seems a tad bit too much.
Not sure I'm ready to go with Apple to replace my PC desktop, but this new Mini looks pretty great.
Excited that base model has non-binned M4, but bummed it has internal PSU (external would have allowed for one cable to monitor / one less power cable at desk).
Overall happy though. Base model with $200 upgrade to 24gb for $799 is solid.

ugh still no wifi 7 in this thing. come onnnn
The 300-$400 per TB of SSD is a sad joke. Apple acting like it's 2014.
You are forced to buy Mac Studio. For 99% of users 16GB up to 24GB of ram is plenty for daily activity use.
No disk drive or cd player?? Wth apple!

$200 upcharge to go from 256GB base model to 512GB. Crazy!
Purchase an external drive
just needs wifi 7 and bluetooth 6 and I feel like I'd be set with standards for a very long time.
