M5 Mac Mini: Why You May Want to Wait

FromGeoff Fagien5/19/2026

Geoff Fagien just covered the debate over whether you should pick up an M4 Mac mini now or hold out for the upcoming M5 version. It’s an interesting dilemma because the current wait times are lingering around a month, and the video breaks down exactly what the next iteration might change regarding AI and power efficiency. Beyond the Mac talk, there is a wild range of gear featured, from CHGRNLF internal SSD upgrades and OWC Thunderbolt docks to the ASUS ROG Ally gaming handheld. You’ll also see professional filmmaking equipment like the Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K and various lighting setups, making for an unexpected mix of creator tools and consumer electronics.
