New iMac Mini

As disappointed as I was with the new iPad Mini as impressed I am with the new iMac Mini. They really shrunk that case while improving performance. If I was a Mac user I’d be all over that device.

I’m quite pleased with my M4 Pro Mac mini. The only minor issue is attaching things to ports—it’s awkward having an SSD and mini-dock dangling from something so small and light if you need to move it around on your desk, as I do when switching to my gaming laptop, etc. And I’m afraid the SSD will accidentally disconnect if it gets nudged while the Mac is turned on (happened once already… I think it was static electricity).


I planned to wait and save up my pennies for a Thunderbolt 5 vertical stand but saw a deal on AliExpress for a 10Gb/s one that’ll do in the meantime.

PLWTOP Vertical Mac Mini M4 Dock with 4TB SSD Enclosure, USB A/C 3.2 10 Gbps, USB A 2.0, SD/TF, Audio for Mini M4 / M4 Pro 2024

$35. Same as the MiniSopuru iExpandmate on sale w/coupon at Amazon for $80 (MSRP $100).


Why vertical? So that the air vents are not obstructed, dust and kitty fluff not so likely to be sucked in from the desktop, and the wifi antenna is further away from any RF noise the dock may emit.
