    As a lifelong Windows PC guy, I no longer play any games and I couldn't think of a single compelling reason not to switch to the Mini M4 (Pro, in my case). It has more power than I'll ever need for photo editing, graphics, playing 4K video and high-res audio from HDD, can do them all at once on two screens with no loss in performance and the space saving of dumping a PC tower is priceless.
    I know there are cheaper but just as capable mini Windows PC builds but the Mac user experience and workflow is just effortless and requires less tinkering. It just works. I have an iPhone and always criticised Apple for being overpriced for less performance... But those days are done. This is maybe the best piece of tech I've ever bought and an absolute home-run for Apple.
    They do shaft you on upgrades, but it is what it is...

      The size by itself isn’t that impressive but when you look at the performance they crammed into it (and how little power it uses) that’s what’s impressive. Granted the low power usage is why they can shrink it down so much.
      Also for once the base Mac mini might on top of not only being tiny be also very performant for its price as pretty much nothing you can get for a similar price on the pc space comes close to it. Makes me quite tempted to switch to Mac as my main computer if I’m honest.

    Still got an i9 MacBook Pro in a drawer somewhere. I replaced it with a MacBook Air M2 (with 24GB ram) and it was so much better. No need for a heatshield on my lap, all day battery and plenty performance. A couple months ago I did get a M3 Max MacBook Pro in order to connect more screens or be able to work all day with no extra screens, and it is a clear upgrade for photo editing. But whenever I have to travel light the MacBook Air is my clear choice and probably the best choice because of the (only 2k) price. My previous office ultralight was more expensive and way slower.

Personally I'd keep mine running 24/7, but even so, any connected keyboard can wake it from sleep, and if you really want to actively turn it off, you're using the UI. Only when something is wrong and you need to hard shutdown do you need to reach the physical button.

    @4:00 the I fully understand why the button is at the underside. A few reasons.. Point no1, if you do turn your device on and off regularly you get to feel and understand your component .. no2 probably lifting it (not every persons studio is as clean and tidy as yours, my dream on day 😜 tidy that is ) it will probably remove dust and debris resulting in a few seconds of a faster flow of air to prolong the fans speed. ( I'm also saying doing this is a must if you have a floofey pet) if so your most beloved companion will become your enemy in terms of air flow and dust management will turn this device to a dust magnet and cute pet flooof magnet. It was done for a reason.. probably to stop users forgetting what device powering your peripherals.

That said, there are multiple brands (Minisforum seems to the other popular one, but even major brands like Asus are in the market since they took over the NUC brand), so if you don't like Beelink try something else.
      One strong recommendation is to buy the barebones kits and add your own RAM and storage. That way you can be sure you're using high quality components instead of whatever cheap Chinese stuff they have in the factory. Then again, a lot of these do come with namebrand components, like Corsair RAM and storage.

I don't think people are likely to see this internet speed in their homes in the next 5 years as a limitation. And if they do, tadaa thunderbolt to ethernet adapter to get 10Gbps internet unless you already upgraded to the 10Gbps. Going from wifi 5 to wifi 6 is pretty awesome for the stability factor that wifi 5 desperately needs. Going from wifi 6 to 6e isn't really that big of a deal. Going from 6 to 7 is extremely expensive and unlikely to happen in the next 5 years, considering almost everyone is on wifi 5 and getting maybe 8.5MB/s, if that's the only device connected with good range to a 70Mbps internet connection from their provider. Those that have a 1 gig internet connection (rare and lucky folk) will still only achieve 125MB/s download (if they're the only device connected and have an awesome router). Still I agree with you.
