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'm amazed that amazon's prices are currently lower than apple's.
I simply cannot believe how well apple has leap-frogged over google and microsoft with this gear.

I don’t like having to buy adapters for usb ports because you can’t set up the computer without them unless you order all new apple keyboards and mouse there’s ways around everything but i still think apple is stupidly treating their long time customers with disrespect yes it pisses me off i have had a home computer since they first came out my first personal apple computer 27” imac had everything you needed to have in a desktop computer and it cost about 4000 with a speaker system and power supply hard drive regulator
