Smartphones, Tablets, Laptops and Desktops. There's so much technology out there! And on this channel, The Random Alpha Gadgets, Alpha DeWolf and his friend Salt Pepper, attempt their best to get their hands on it and explain their experience!
Disclaimer: Alpha DeWolf and Salt Pepper have a slight bias towards Apple. But, Alpha used to be a huge Samsung fan and then switched to Apple, so he understands the Android appeal. They'll make a video about that at some point!

Yes, I'm Still Using the iPhone XS Max in 2024
It is actually really easy not to buy. Base model has 256GB of not upgradeable SSD.
Loved the video you rock kiddo!
OK, here we have a "tech guy" who doesn't even understand that a Mac Mini in sleep mode consumes only a small fraction of a single watt per hour. The power required during the startup cycle exceeds his daily power savings by powering off the Mac Mini.
The bottom places power button is a non-issue for 99.9% of people. I can count on one hand with fingers left the number of times I have used the power button on any of my macs in the last year. I'd say the lack of USB type A is going to be a much bigger issue because most of the accessories out there are still USB-A.
the new mac mini doesn't really need the power button, its so power efficient that when you put it in sleep, its pretty much off anyways.. i tend to run my full desk through a UPS too so not really an issue as it uses the stored power on sleep rather than the outlet.. Plus it also supports wake on lan, so if you really wanted to remotely switch it on via ethernet you could.
If you have an M Series chip, there is not much of a reason to “upgrade” to me it Makes sense if you have an older Intel Mac. So me I guess, haha. I’m still using an intel MacBook Pro.
There's no need to turn this Mac off. Sleep is what MacOS is supposed to do and it will draw very little power. The only reason to turn off a Mac is if you're worried about power surges (e.g. lightening) in which case you should unplug it, or better yet use UPS with surge protection (which one should do anyone if your livelihood depends upon these things.)
I see this as a traveling computer since the size is so small. All you need is the Mac mini and The office will supply the keyboard, monitor and mouse. So locating the😊 power at the bottom is just weird and makes no sense. Imagine putting the power button under your laptop.
Is there even one sentence in your video that was not cut into more parts? I do like your video overall, but my mind gets hyperstimulated by all these snaps and cuts. So I will definitely need a CPU and memory update :-)
What An Ass, Screaming Changes Nothing !!!!!!!
The new Mac Mini is the most reasonably priced computer they have ever released.
This kid is so bricked up over this
you don't need the M4 Pro for music lol.....
going from M1 Pro to M4 Max - not because my M1 Pro is not fast enough as a laptop, but because I'm due to expense a machine for tax and also this will replace my DESKTOP this time around (which means better GPU and more RAM are nice)
sleeping Mac uses so little power you're probably wasting more power when you power it up to re-load everything back into cache, etc.
Great video!
I atleast turn off my PC 2 times a day. To save electricity, and power cuts. Problem is companies does something unreasonable and people defend it instead of criticizing bad designs. Oh I don't need 3.5mm jack, I have tws I can't sense delay because I'm not slow. Oh I don't power off my pc electricity is unlimited and free, there's no powercut.
as per my above power, the Apple Silicon Macs use so little power when sleeping that you're probably incurring MORE power consumption rebooting the thing to just re-load everything into cache and reinitialise everything. I mean, right now, playing UA-cam my MacBook Pro M1 Pro CPU+GPU is consuming *under half a watt* while playing this UA-cam video.
Are there usb c wired mouse?
I own a mouse that has a USBC wireless receiver. Works beautifully! But if you insist on the mouse being wired and not wireless, yes, they exist.
I don’t even need a new computer but this new Mac mini is just too good not to buy.
Bee-Link(SER7) has similar ports layout as a new Mac Mini, however it has power button in the front which is very convenience.
Complete garbage!!!
I swear, humans are such cry babies. "The power button is on the bottom: my life is ruined!!!"
The clearance of the airflow underneath allows access to the power button.
DEFinitely chill out with your acting , the character you put on(i hope you were) is way too annoying, but besides that the video was low-key good, kept me interested asl with how you explained things, keep it up man
Bottom power button is a non-issue
Certainly!
Apple "BS" Now that’s funny!
Or you just buy an older M1 they go for 300 used and are plenty for most people looking into a mac mini
Can it run all steam games?
No
Gonna play the heck out of Stardew Valley on that M4.
Remember It's ARM Based, NOT X86, So Games, Certain Ones Have To Run Under Emulation !!
Windows XP must be reused and upgrade it keep the same settings and bought the features from windows 11 or windows 10 to xp like compatibility for programs and drivers
I currently have the Base M1 Mac Mini. After 4 years of use, memory swapping is now an issue. I'm running 15.2 Developer Beta (24C5057p) . I'm thinking it's whatever Apple Intelligence features that are on this build causing this. I never had this issue before. Anyway, I;m upgrading to the new Base M4 Pro Mac Mini. The only option I chose was the CPU/GPU upgrade to the 14/20 chipset . 24 Gb of Ram is more than I need for my use case. As far as storage goes, I currently have a 2Tb USB-C external SSD I have been using with my current Mac and M4 iPad Pro. I look forward to getting it set up. Power button is a non issue for me. 6.8 -7 watts at idle and 39 -100 watts peak is not that much compared to an Intel or AMD CPU and NVIDIA or AMD GPU. support.apple.com/en-us/103253
Lol @ all the apple validation in the opening shot. It's ok to get rid of cardbord dude.
I'm sure some of them are warranty related as companies often require you to have the receipt and original packaging. Other than that I agree completely.
@@pete5516 But then you dont put them out as "decoration"
FYI it's HDMI 2.1
You act like what the slappable joke makes fun of
Honestly the power button placement is a non issue and if anything an upgrade to current condition. The previous placement was worse - it was very easy to hit the power button when it was a the back when you wanted to get something out of the usb ports for example (which were all at the back)
Indeed. Just bought one. Mac Mini Pro!
You could just unplug or switch off at the socket.
you can power off in software but you still need to switch it on with the button
@@oliverschmidt4094 I didn't mention software. Isolate it from the power, it's off.
@@urbanspaceman7183@oliverschmidt4094 meant is that you should be able to turn the system back ON, using the power button
@@urbanspaceman7183 but you are missing the point. You don't need the power button to switch it off. You need it just to turn it on. And that is impractical when the only way to turn it on is on the bottom
@oliverschmidt4094 Yeah you're right, I wasn't thinking of switching it back on, DOH.
Why so little memory? Is this PC not intended for gaming?
Um....it's a Mac.
It's meant for real work.
@@TheDanEdwards As long as that real work isn't graphics intensive.
I pay 55c per kWhr where I live but with solar and batteries I haven’t paid an electricity bill in years and my system has already paid for itself so now it’s savings every month
$1299 for 16GB/512GB in Australia but in windows land you can get a mini pc with a ryzen 9, 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD for that
thought it was 600
It will also be running Windows shit so its not even close to the same thing.
dude it will be in sleep mode no biggy
Soooo why doesn’t this guy have waaayyy more subscribers? Content’s good and informative
Because his personality is abrasive and demeaning. It's the weird cousin at Christmas. The editing is rough and tacky, and I can't tell if he likes old or new. The dislike of USB-A is odd. USB-A is still very well-used. And thinking Apple is unveiling a new line of computers with HDMI 2.1, or even HDMI 2? I would assume it is HDMI 2.2 at least.
@@Firelamakar2He also doesn’t seem to do in-depth research.
I still use the 11 pro lol
Genuine dumb question from a not apple user, would one of these mini pcs be able to handle Procreate/animation and video rendering or are they more of a server based thingy?
This Mac mini should be amazing at that. While there are other mini pcs that can technically do that, their cooling systems generally aren’t robust enough to prevent a system overheating. But Apple Silicon in general is so energy efficient (meaning it won’t produce anywhere near as much waste heat) that it enables Apple to make such small but mighty powerful computers!
I'm using an M1 Mini to do Video Editing and it is Amazing. This M4 Mini would be a beast for this work.
I’m sure mount makers will account for the new power button location, I can see them making a gap for it
i dont care about where they put the charging port use an mx master s3 they can put the charge port in my ASS for all i care cause i dont use an magic mouse it's not also magical unsubbed
We got a new Mac Mini today just to let you know
That video should come tomorrow.
@ i will be here
I’m not really bothered by the position of the charging port for the reasons you listed. I’m just more annoyed by the ergonomics of using the mouse. It’s designed in a way where you can’t rest your hand on it properly like with every other mouse which makes it uncomfortable for most people to use. In my opinion, the Magic Mouse is the one Apple product that is in desperate need of a redesign, and Apple has refused to give it one for whatever reason.
i miss my XS Max so much, i would take it back anytime over my current phone
russians are ruining everything not just Apple events btw why Apple keep selling their products to those animals? 🤨😕
Honestly I really don’t care anymore, I have an M1 Max mbp and it’s plenty of horsepower for years to come. Apple kinda shot themselves in the foot.
Why are you always crossing your arms throughout the video
