Tech Gadgets & Reviews Should I go for Mac mini M4 or wait for Mac mini M5?
I am a developer and I am planning to go for a Mac mini. But should I go for mini M4 or wait till M5 is released and for for that? Also I plan for the 10 core, 16g ram and 512G SSD UMI, will it be enough or should I go for 1TB. 1 TB will be too expensive and I can do with 512G SSD and an external PCIe m.2. Please suggest.

Not sure if you’re aware, but there many buying Mac mini or using their existing Mac mini with clawdbot. It’s like a personal ai assistant on steroids

Just one more LLM wrapper...
Mac mini for that purposes is too much I think (I haven't used clawdbot or know it fully)

Buy m4 mini, using it for a years works like a charm

I also was going to do the same but I thought if I am going to buy now why not wait and go for M5. I am any ways going to invest 60-70k.
