At this point, they should just stop mentioning anything about it.
I think it’s great that it’s clear it doesnt come with a keyboard, mouse and so on.

They tell you what is and isn't included. More useful to a lot of people than you might think.

Looking forward to tomorrow's MacBook Pro announcement. As tempting as this new Mac mini is, I need/want portability.

Alright say what you want to say but that was one of the coolest product reveals Apple has ever done. The way they fooled us at the start by showing the old one, perfection.

I had to laugh during the announcement when he said that apps will launch instantly and web pages will load quicker with the M4 Pro. Yeah well I'd hope the same for the M4 (and M3, M2, etc). Don't buy a Pro chip if your main focus is web page load times and app launch times.
