Plus, the base level of 16gb ram is effectively a discount off the price, since you used to have to pay extra for that.
Shipping
I higly recommend this product thanks for fast shipping
Received my new mac mini m4 within a week of purchase.
I bought the 24/512 model before the price went up and the delivery went out.

As long as you stay with the base model, it's a deal that just can't be beat.

I simply cannot believe how well apple has leap-frogged over google and microsoft with this gear.
