In case you didn't know, $500 doesn't include sales tax (VAT, TVA). In the USA, sales tax ranges from 1.8% - 11.5% depending on your state and city/town. It's still much cheaper, but you should compare Apples to Apples.😉
@@JohnPMiller Oh okay, I forgot that little detail. But taxes here in Europe are still much higher for consumer electronics, around 20%, depending on the country.

@@ReachFilmsso do you think it might shipping soon I am using a fright forwarding company to ship it from USA TO EGYPT.

Can you give me advice whether the Mac Mini base model or the zenbook s14 Corsair is 5, the first one is for 499 and the second one is 649 Dollars? Which one should I get I know a laptop offers more portability but the Mac Mini is way more powerful
@@gran-infomedio1618 Are you using it to prop up short table legs, or as a placemat? It's important to know which so we can offer the best buying advice.
If you're looking at the Mini, you have a monitor already, or are prepared to buy one. Consider the M1 MacBook Air (same price range at Wal-Mart). It'll blow the Zen thing out of the water, and at home you can attach the desktop monitor and keyboard. Best of both worlds.
@ not 100% accurate. I love the MacBook Air but there are a few things you left out. 1 the MacBook Air has no fan, so if it gets too hot it thermal throttles. 2 the MacBook Air (m1,m2 and m3) all have less cpu cores than the m4. It’s not apples to apples. If you NEED a laptop and are ok with what you sacrifice for the price, then go for it! If you don’t need a laptop you get more performance for less money with the mini
I ordered the M4 Mac mini from Costco for $499. I a a member so I could pick it up from the warehouse. I understand non-members can order for delivery, but cannot pick it up.

@@underthedrone2735 the Amazon listing is temporary every time they run out they use a really long out estimate. And then when they restock it delivers in two days, I would bet you’ll see the mini from Amazon a lot sooner than you think.
As of now, I’ve been watching the Amazon stock closely it says 1-2 months then all of a sudden it’s two day shipping. Amazon rather overestimate but they do that by a lot. Just give it a day or two but before official Black Friday a bunch will be available for two day shipping
Yeah it seems like that may be the case, but when the video came out the deal was brand new. What’s unfortunate is the big tech channels are making videos about it and releasing it today….. not giving their audience value which is unfortunate
Hey man, I’ve gotta come clean-I feel like I need to confess my sins. I was watching your video on my TV, got so hyped about the Mac, and immediately bought it… but I was on my laptop, so I forgot to use your affiliate code. :(
I bought one with your link! Thank you and happy to help support you with your links!
@@DUDEiTHINKIMNUDE thank you much appreciated dude!!
@@ReachFilms YEAH FOR SURE! HAPPY HOLIDAY'S!
Can we use this Mac mini m4 for YT live streaming???
@@ReachFilms the link doesn't open for m4?
Great video !!! Thanks.
Thanks appreciate it. I’m gonna pick one up today.Btw I just subscribed and hit that light button😂
You the man!!
Thanks appreciate it. I’m gonna pick one up today.
Can we use this Mac mini m4 for YT live streaming???
Yeah absolutely
@@ReachFilms thanks alot coz few ppl told me that mac are not built for streaming games on pc
Thanks i trust you 😅
@@SKYISLIVE_01as long as you get a capture card you are good, it’s just harder to actually game on a Mac with so little available
@@ReachFilms ill be gaming on ps5 pro n will stream through mac mini using capture card only so that will be possible right ?
@ yeah exactly
I have a 27 inch iMac Pro... it's still beautiful but getting kinda slow. Do you know if I can use my iMac as a screen for this mac mini?
Unfortunately not, I wish we could, I’ve seen some people convert really old 27inch iMacs but they gut the computer
Your videos check every box. You walk the walk:-)
Thank you!!! Much appreciated
Costco also has the base M4 Mini for $500 and the base M4 Pro Mini for $1270 from November 18 - December 2, 2024.
Costco also has the M4/24GB/512GB model for $849.
In the meantime, Mac Mini 4 in Europe costs 700euros (Apple's price), but isn't even available on Amazon at the moment, let alone at a discount.
same in Australia

Mac Mini is ALWAYS $499 at the Apple education store online. No id required
Yeah that's true! But you need to have a .edu email
@ you do not
@@ShanerTheGrey since when? They have always required you have a .edu email to verify your a student or can qualify

Can confirm because I just bought an M4 Pro Mac mini using this hack. Also all the upgrades are discounted too. Saved like $250 out the door
They are $479 at Costco.
You have to have a Costco membership to buy it there though right?
@ReachFilms - Correct.
I do photo editing and I’m getting into video editing trying to decide between the base M4 MacBook Pro 16 GB RAM or M3 Pro MacBook Pro 18 GB RAM refurb. What do you think?
It’s going to depend on the types of video editing you want to do. If it’s basic go m4, if more advanced go m3 pro even though it’s last years model
@ probably basic, thanks for the reply leaving the pro to the pros. Seen any smoking good deals?
@ I don’t know if it’s smoking compared to the mini but here’s the best deal for the m4 MacBook Pro on Amazon amzn.to/3AVIUPi
@@ReachFilmsabout the same as Costco and I can have it tomorrow. Thanks enjoyed your video
