以下为内容的中文翻译： 这段视频是M4 Mac Mini的购买指南，它根据个人需求和预算，讨论了哪些升级是值得的，并推荐了一些配件。视频避免关注短暂的黑色星期五促销活动。 主持人首先概述了苹果官网上提供的四种M4 Mac Mini配置：三种标准M4型号和一种M4 Pro型号。基本型号配备16GB统一内存和256GB SSD。升级选项包括：512GB SSD、24GB内存搭配512GB SSD，以及M4 Pro Mac Mini，配备24GB内存、512GB SSD和Thunderbolt 5。 讨论的第一个关键升级是内存。主持人认为，对于大多数从事网页浏览、电子邮件、文档写作，甚至是一些游戏等基本任务的家庭用户来说，16GB已经足够。即使像Home Assistant这样的虚拟机也可以在16GB上流畅运行。对于偶尔进行视频编辑、平面设计或编程的用户，建议选择24GB。32GB则非常适合从事多轨道编辑、使用Creative Cloud应用程序或管理大型文件的用户。主持人建议不要进行不必要的内存升级，强调成本高昂，而且大多数用户不会注意到差异。他澄清说，如果你已经在进行占用大量内存的活动，那么升级是合理的。如果需要超过32GB的内存，则必须升级到M4 Pro Mac Mini。 接下来，视频讨论了存储。基本的M4 Mac Mini配备256GB存储空间，可以升级到2TB。主持人指出，尽管他的家用Mac Mini最初选择了256GB选项，但在扣除操作系统、系统数据和应用程序后，实际可用空间会减少，可能只剩下约170GB。对于大多数人来说，256GB的硬盘可能是合适的。如果用户需要本地存储超过此限制的文件，这个因素就变得至关重要。一个虚拟机和照片库就可能填满这个空间。 虽然将文件移动到外部SSD是一个选择，但主持人警告说，这可能会导致Spotlight搜索功能丢失，以及Apple智能功能受到限制（基于Zone of Tech的Daniel分享的信息）。尽管有这些考虑，主持人还是通过利用iCloud、Google Drive和优化虚拟机的大小，在他的256GB家用Mac Mini上保持了约100GB的可用空间。他强调，对于许多用户来说，管理空间是可行的。M4 Pro的起始存储空间为512GB。 主持人随后批评了苹果的存储升级定价，并以一块2TB的Crucial X10 Pro SSD比苹果512GB升级更便宜为例。他还提到了使用M.2芯片搭配Ugreen外壳来实现更快更便宜的存储。他强调了苹果内部存储升级带来的巨大成本溢价，将苹果4TB或8TB升级的成本与OWC提供的更实惠的选择进行了对比。 视频转向了M4 Pro型号的CPU升级，提供了增加两个CPU核心和四个GPU核心的选项。主持人的经验表明，在编辑视频时，这两种CPU选项之间的性能差异几乎无法察觉。由于成本较高，最好跳过此升级。 视频还提到了10千兆以太网升级。对于那些需要高速网络连接的人来说，建议进行此项升级。 主持人随后分享了他购买的三款M4 Mac Mini型号的个人体验。基本型号的M4被用作家庭服务器，处理Plex、Home Assistant、一般工作任务，并为他的孩子们的学校作业提供单独的帐户。他不后悔这个选择，尽管将来将SSD从256GB升级到512GB会更理想。 配备10千兆以太网和1TB存储的基本规格M4 Pro Mac Mini是他每天在工作室中使用，并用于视频和音频编辑的机器。主持人认为M4 Pro芯片是必须的。它与三星G9屏幕、Focusrite Scarlett Solo接口、Edifier扬声器、Insta360 Link网络摄像头和CalDigit TS4扩展坞搭配使用，用于端口扩展。他对这次购买非常满意。 最高规格的M4 Pro Mac Mini分配给他的摄像师用于短视频编辑。虽然从M1 Pro MacBook Pro升级带来了显著的速度提升，但主持人质疑CPU和内存升级的价值。他怀疑省下这些钱可能是最好的选择。

This video serves as a buyer's guide for the M4 Mac Mini, addressing which upgrades are worthwhile based on individual needs and budgets, and recommending accessories. The video avoids focusing on fleeting Black Friday deals. The presenter begins by outlining the four M4 Mac Mini configurations available on Apple's website: three standard M4 models and one M4 Pro model. The base model comes with 16GB of unified memory and a 256GB SSD. Upgrades include a 512GB SSD, 24GB of memory with a 512GB SSD, and the M4 Pro Mac Mini with 24GB of memory, a 512GB SSD, and Thunderbolt 5. The first key upgrade discussed is memory. The presenter suggests that 16GB is sufficient for most home users engaging in basic tasks like web browsing, emails, document writing, and even some gaming. Even virtual machines like Home Assistant can run smoothly on 16GB. For occasional video editing, graphic design, or coding, 24GB is recommended. 32GB is ideal for users involved in multi-track editing, Creative Cloud applications, or managing large files. The presenter advises against unnecessary memory upgrades, highlighting the high cost and the fact that most users won't notice a difference. He clarifies that if you are already working on memory consuming activities, that would justify the upgrade. To get more memory than 32 GB, it is a need to upgrade to the M4 Pro Mac Mini. Next, the video addresses storage. The base M4 Mac Mini comes with 256GB of storage, which can be upgraded to 2TB. The presenter notes that, despite starting with the 256GB option for his home Mac Mini, the actual usable space shrinks after accounting for the operating system, system data, and applications, potentially leaving around 170GB. A 256 GB hard drive could be suitable for most people. This consideration becomes crucial if the user needs to store files larger than this limit locally. A virtual machine and photo library can fill this space. While moving files to an external SSD is an option, the presenter cautions about losing Spotlight search functionality and potential limitations with Apple intelligence features (based on information shared by Daniel from Zone of Tech). Despite these considerations, the presenter manages to maintain around 100GB of free space on his 256GB home Mac Mini by leveraging iCloud, Google Drive, and optimizing the size of the virtual machine. He emphasizes that managing space is possible for many users. The M4 Pro starts with a 512 GB drive. The presenter then critiques Apple's storage upgrade pricing, citing the example of a 2TB crucial X10 Pro SSD being cheaper than Apple's 512GB upgrade. He also mentions using M.2 chips with Ugreen enclosures for even faster and cheaper storage. He highlights the enormous cost premium associated with Apple's internal storage upgrades, contrasting the cost of Apple's 4TB or 8TB upgrades with the more affordable options from OWC. The video shifts to CPU upgrades for the M4 Pro model, offering an option to add two CPU cores and four GPU cores. The presenter's experience suggests little discernible performance difference between the two CPU options when editing videos. Because of the high cost, it is better to skip this upgrade. The video also touches on the 10 Gigabit Ethernet upgrade. This upgrade is recommended for those requiring high-speed network connections. The presenter then shares his personal experiences with the three M4 Mac Mini models he purchased. The base M4 model serves as a home server, handling Plex, Home Assistant, general work tasks, and providing separate accounts for his children's schoolwork. He does not regret the choice, although upgrading the SSD from 256GB to 512GB would be ideal for the future. The base spec M4 Pro Mac Mini with 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 1TB of storage is the machine he uses daily in the studio and for video and audio editing. The M4 pro chip is a must, according to the presenter. It's paired with a Samsung G9 screen, a Focusrite Scarlett Solo interface, Edifier speakers, an Insta360 Link webcam, and a CalDigit TS4 dock for port expansion. He is very happy with the purchase. The highest spec M4 Pro Mac Mini is allocated to his videographer for short-form content editing. While the upgrade from an M1 Pro MacBook Pro offers significant speed improvements, the presenter questions the value of the CPU and memory upgrades. He suspects saving the money would have been best.
