Wherever you may be heading, think about what it'll be like to go to atp.fm.store and buy some stuff when you get there.

All right. And then Quinn Nelson was perhaps the first person to point out something that we've heard pointed out to us many, many, many times. Quinn writes, you can buy another base model Mac mini. So this is 16 gigs of RAM and a 256 gig SSD. For the price that it costs to upgrade a single Mac mini to 32 gigs of RAM and 512 gigabyte SSD. So let me repeat that.

If you have the base model, you can, in order to get to a sum total of 32 gigs and 512 gigs, you can buy an entire second Mac mini for about the same price as it costs to upgrade the original Mac mini with the same specs. It's bananas.

Boy, it's, it's a lot. It's a lot. And I mean, what are you really going to do? You're not going to buy a second Mac mini. You're going to upgrade as you need to, but it's going to hurt. It's going to hurt.

Oh, yeah. All right, so with the iMac, things seem mostly okay. However, if you're one of those people that really loves to have two pointing devices, both a Magic Mouse and a Magic Trackpad, well, tough nugs, because Apple apparently has removed the option to buy color-matched trackpad apps.

keyboard and mouse together reading from nine to five mac with the m4 model you know you can no longer get both the magic trackpad magic mouse in the past you could optionally buy both imac accessories as part of your purchase this means that if you want a trio of color magic magic keyboard magic mouse magic trackpad you're simply out of luck or you're going to ebay or you're going to apple store and like marco said give them your imac serial number and tell them you lost your trackpad when really you didn't and really you bought it with a mouse there's probably some way to do it but this is just another consequence of uh

There's also been a little bit of grumbling about SSD limits. So the M4 versus M4 Pro and Max have different SSD size limits, and they're also different between devices, if I'm not mistaken. So the largest SSD you can get, as an example, with the M4 Mac Mini is two terabytes. But the largest SSD you can get with the M4 Pro Mac Mini is eight terabytes. What's going on with that, John?

All right, and then tell me about performance, specifically with the M4 Pro and M4 Pro Max.

Oh, but maybe they'll come screaming back. We'll see.

All right, and then a handful of people wrote in to correct us when we said, oh, you can't buy a Mac with 8 gigs of RAM anymore. Au contraire, Walmart is still selling that M1 MacBook Air with 8 gigs of RAM for $700, although as we record this, it's actually on sale for $650. But yeah, that still exists. That's still a thing in their lineup.
