Mac Desktop Computer Still in Box

[kathryne_B]

Hello All,
Need a little advice here. I bought a Mac Desktop a little over a month ago, that I haven't taken out of the box. I'm trying to make space in my room for it. Just need to know, if there will be any harm done to it if I leave it in the box a couple more weeks? I just need to know. Thank you for your help. -Kathryne B.

It’ll be just fine

No issues at all. Its been sitting on shelf in some warehouse for an undetermined amount of time - sitting in your home for a few weeks or a month won't hurt it

I hesitate to ask this, but this thread is causing me to consider something that is probably going to sound... well, silly might be the most polite way to describe it.

For my purposes I'm happy with the base m4 pro mini, but as we know nothing lasts forever.

Would it make any sense at all to get another desktop m4 soon (of any kind or spec, but maybe upgrade from what I have) and keep it in it's box on the shelf... until it's actually needed?

I guess the biggest issue would be what Apple desktop devices will be like in, let's say 6 or 7 years from now, and what kind of m4 you can get now that would still be "good enough" by that time?
