Really happy with this stand. It improves airflow, keeps dust out, and makes the whole setup look a little more polished. Quality is better than I expected for the price. The power button is covered, but unless you shut your Mini M4 off often, it’s not an issue. Great buy if you want both function and aesthetics. Read more

This stand is nice and lightweight but it really didnt do a good job of staying on the mac mini. It has these rubber fins that you are supposed to stick in the heatsink grooves underneath and they just don't stay and causes the stand the just fall off. The dust mesh cover is a nice feature and allow the computer to still breathe. Overall, if I don't touch the computer, I don't have to worry about it falling off the stand. Unfortunately, if I want to plug or unplug anything or even turn it on, it does slide off of the stand so I have to be careful. It did fit flush with the Mac Mini but thats about it. I ended up getting a different stand but this is a nice concept. I wish it worked better for me. Priced at around $17, I'm not sure if the value is there for me but everyone is different and don't let that discourage you from trying it yourself as it does look nice and I do see other people have had more success with the mounting system.

Pros: Looks great, quality materials and finish, easy to get the foam pads in place with the peel away outer edges. Cons: Power button is even more difficult to get to now. Minor concerns about scratching desktop surface - aluminum frame is now the base, instead of what used to be the plastic foot of the Mac Mini - would have liked to see a rubber edge on the bottom, not only to protect the desktop but to help keep the mini from sliding around - a similar edge on the top would help keep the mini from sliding around a millimeter or so. Keeping it perfectly lined up with the stand is annoying, and the lack of a foam piece for the corner with the power button doesn't help. Overall a good value for $17, there are a lot of ugly stands out there, this is one of the nicer looking ones and it was also one of the least expensive. Read more

This desktop stand for the Mac Mini nails it when it comes to design. It blends in so well that it feels like something Apple would have come up with, which is a high bar. The build quality is solid, with aluminum alloy that looks sharp on the desk and doesn’t feel like it's going to warp or bend if you fart in its direction. The grills work well for heat dissipation and do an honest job blocking out dust. I’m not convinced the smallest bits of dust won’t sneak in over time, but that’s just life with anything that has air holes. Fit is spot on for the latest Mac Mini, and it even adds some much-needed protection to the bottom, no more worrying about scratching things up when shifting the Mini around. I appreciated the bonus foam inserts. It’s a detail that shows someone was thinking about possible fit issues or bumps. Now, about the power button placement: some people seem genuinely upset you can’t get to it easily when the stand is on, but I’m just not bothered. I barely ever need to use that button, and honestly, I prefer not to have it out where I might hit it by accident. For me, it’s not a problem. For $17, the build quality is surprising. The materials and overall feel easily outshine the price tag. I don’t have any extra thoughts about the design except that it works, it looks great, and gives me exactly what I wanted. Read more

This is a great product! Many reviewers complain about the power button being less accessible with this base. If you use the power button a lot, that's fine, maybe this product is not for you, but I've been using my Mac mini since Dec. 2024 (we are on July 2025) and I used the power button just once so far to test the hardware. The adhesive sticks that you stick on the bottom of the Mac mini are thick enough to keep the base in a stable position, making it easier to slide the whole set on the desk. I think the weight of the Mini also helps with that. I am happy with this base and would by it again if I had another Mini. Read more
