The new Mac mini looks like the best value for sure!
I’m excited about the tomorrow’s MacBook Pro announcement though (even though I am sure it will probably be the same design, and I am not going to upgrade from my super reliable M1 Pro just yet anyway).

I’m shocked, in a good way, that 16GB is now the default on the base model.
Now if they could just up the storage…
My 2014 Mac Mini died last week and I was looking at getting a secondhand Apple Silicon Mac Mini, glad I waited!
Very tempting but might find an even better bargain for the now officially older M2 models.

Will buy one of these once my Intel 27" iMac dies.
I won’t buy a 24" iMac. Screen is not large enough.

Maybe @Norm can talk to Tim about that. Where’s the 27/32-inch iMac?

The 14 inch MacBook Pro base model is tempting

Short answer:
Nope
Long answer:
Don’t get the fascination with smaller and thinner all the time, enough with this gimmick. If that’s the goal then just put macOS on my iPhone and let me hook it to a 50+" 6K monitor. ;–)
Given Apple Intelligence will run on any M series as well as Sequoia along with the next macOS version I’m in no hurry to have the latest and greatest. I’m excited to watch and find a lightly used Mac Mini and MacBook Air/Pro from those who feel the need to always upgrade.
The following is interesting, Apple claims "the M4 has up to 1.5x faster CPU performance compared to the M2”. The m2 was released mid 2022, they also claim its 2.1x faster than a Core Ultra 7 Series 2 (not released yet / Q4). So an M2 seems just fine to me.
Strangely on the Mac Mini M4 page they compared it to a Core i7 (3.2GHz 6-core Intel Core i7). Wonder which version of the 6 core i7 as it has been around for a decade. Why not compare it to the i9 if the M4 is the new flagship. ;–)
Would maybe be interested in the rumored 32” iMac, especially if they remove the bottom logo bar. If a Mac Mini can be this small do you still need a bar under the iMac display just for the logo? :–P
When did you last look at an iMac? the chin doesn’t have the logo on it anymore.
They do keep all the good bits there though.
You really tried hard if that’s all you took away from that. To answer you inquiry around the time they reduced the screen size and started using fruity colors. But yes Pete I’m aware.
Still, is the bottom bar really needed especially with the Apple Engineers seemingly #1 priority and propensity being micro-sizing everything. Perhaps it has more to do with positioning weight and balancing tilt concerning the hinge. Esthetically I would prefer it without, but then where would users put all their stickers which is probably the higher reasoning.
Yes, quoting what you said was difficult. 
The do it with the Apple displays, and there seems to be an excessive amount of hardware inside those, under the screen.
I’m not a new Apple user so forgive me for simply referencing something that has been present from the beginning. Though if needed nitpick all you desire.

The M2 Mac Mini is half empty. So you “easily” can slim down the whole chassis. I don’t see anything negative around this.

Funny how this seems so massive now. And yet, they used to seem so small.
I wont be updating just yet. The M2 Pro has been awesome.

I think the iMac may still have a chin because the screen panels require thermal ventilation so they don’t put much behind / near them.
A form factor I hope we see at some point is a keyboard with a Mac built in. A modern day ZX Spectrum / Amiga / Commodore 64 form factor but way thinner and lighter.
On man. I miss the Amiga days. Such a great machine for its time.
