M4 efficiency is stunning. First machine I've tested getting over 5 Gflops/W with HPL, and in fact it goes beyond 6 Gflops/W... with fan only spinning up to a quiet 2500 rpm.

Maybe this is why Qualcomm abandoned their marquee Dev Kit—it is thoroughly trounced by M4.

@geerlingguy The hardware is truly great. I just wish that MacOS was better. I got the base M4 Mac Mini as my first Mac but unfortunately I’m probably going to end up returning it.

@that_leaflet @geerlingguy MacOS' lackluster window management is the deal-breaker for me. I'd love to get my hands on this hardware otherwise, but I'd want to use Fedora and GNOME.

Same. I really like Gnome's workflow. Could live with KDE and Windows (except I find Microsoft makes all their products annoying to use). But from the few days I've been using MacOS, it's just been super quirky, in a bad way.
