Equivalent in size, yes. Performance, no. Just look up small form factor PC on Amazon. For just web browsing and streaming, you can do alright for $300.

Just don’t expect it to run Cyberpunk 2077.

Which the M4 mini base model can.

Nice, where can I find m4 mini base model for $300?

    You can't, obviously, but you knew that. The point is, you'll take a hit in performance. If you don't care about the performance, spend the $300 on the Chinese mini PC. Hope it doesn't have spyware.

    Around Black Friday, the Mac mini was going for $480, which is damn close, but I try not to move goalposts if I can help it.

    This you?

    First you compare it to a lower priced shitty laptop and you're now doubling down on "Chinese mini PC".

    I agree Apple ARM has better performance, I called you out on the comparison. There are more things to consider than "performance".

    And other things also go on sale on "Black Friday" including shitty Chinese mini PCs. That's still not a valid comparison.

    Try not to act like a cult making false comparisons next time.

    K, thx. Bye!
