Im curious how many bought or will be buying the M4 mini to replace both their desktop and laptop. The M4 Mini used as a portable desktop on the go gives a far better experience than any laptop.

For the base M4 Mini it’s true. For the base M4 Pro Mini imo not, it’s too expensive compared to the Base M4 Pro 14” MBP. The difference is only 550 (CHF) in my country with EDU pricing. Especially since there seems to be no advantage of the Mini over the MBP when it comes to performance and thermals.

I’m getting this as my main desktop. Just simple gaming and entertainment. But would look into video editing for casual purpose.

I returned my Mac mini m2 back when iPad released m4 chip earlier this year. No regrets ever since….
