In terms of cost performance, should I buy the Mac mini M4 or wait for the M5 at this time?

by Poster May 23, 2025 14
There is nothing just needed, I just want to liberate the current Linux high-end gaming notebook. I guess I can only use it to watch 4K 10bit video and streaming. I usually use VS Code remotely. The only thing I just need is a 10 Gigabit network card, because I have it at home, but my laptop is Gigabit, so I haven't used it. And do you still get headphones when you buy an M4 during the back-to-school season? If not, I can just wait.

    You have to wait until November to get the m5 to the macmini, right? After all, the m4 macmini has only been released for half a year

    I am still using M1 mbp. It doesn't matter. Just buy it if you want. There is no need to wait for that performance improvement

    Before M2 was to clear inventory, generally speaking mini did not participate

    Buy the m4, the m5 hasn't been shown yet. The new chip may not be released on the Mac mini, reference Mac mini m4 is released half a year later than iPad Pro m4

    @ Anonymous1817 Not necessarily, macmini not necessarily update this year

    @ Anonymous454 Not only is it the first launch, m3 does not have a mini version now

    macmini is not a new year product. Who knows when it will be updated? Buy early and enjoy early.

    The above is right, m5 doesn't necessarily have a mini version

    @ Anonymous454 # 5 I don't care if I start, I'm afraid I don't have it. Does @ Anonymous2356 # 4 send headphones? Is the iPad involved? I plan to buy it to play audio games.

    @ Anonymous55 # 6 Yeah, probably just skipped like m3 did. Follow m6 directly

    If Mac mini does not participate in giving headphones, the current state subsidy education discount superposition is already the most cost-effective And the M4 has been improved too much. It's hard to say whether the M5 can be so big

    Wait, the M10 will be out soon

    @ Anonymous8449 # 12 The M1 version in 2021 and the M2 version in 2023 and 2024 are the AirPods 2 sent
