I’ve had the Mac mini M4 Pro for about a month, and I wanted to give you a real review after actually living on it—no day-one hype bandwagon stuff. In this video I break down the exact spec I bought (12‑core CPU, 16‑core GPU, 24GB unified memory, base internal SSD, standard gigabit Ethernet) and why I put my money into storage instead of paying Apple prices for 4TB or 8TB. I’m coming from an Intel MacBook Pro with 32GB, so I was curious if 24GB unified memory would be enough, and so far it’s been totally adequate for my sessions. The big move for me was running everything off an external 4TB SSD in an enclosure—plugins, VSTs, samples, the whole setup. I show the read/write speeds (roughly 2700 read / 2400 write) and even check temps, and it’s staying close to the internal drive. Then I stress-test Logic at a 128 buffer with a crazy 147-track session (four plugins per track) and it’s honestly wild what it can handle. I also talk about the only real headache: migrating from Intel and dealing with plugin compatibility—most of my iZotope stuff (Ozone 11, Neutron 5) has been flawless.
