I am a front-end developer and I am going to buy an m4 mini. Has anyone bought an m4 mini and is using it? How does it feel about daily use?
Is 16g memory enough for daily use? Do I need 32g memory?

Anonymous2956 Apr 9, 2025I am using a 16g mini and have an external Thunderbolt three-hard disk docking station + 1T hard disk as the system disk. I can exchange 3 ~ 6g daily, so I don't worry about the life of the hard disk. Usually docker runs three containers, four im, two or three micro-front-end projects, and about ten chrome tabs. If I use it myself, I think it is enough, but 32G is not cost-effective.
