And that doesn't make it true? As far as I know you never got a better PC for 700€ or 600$. And the last model had to less memory in the base config to make all of this work fine.

You can move you home folder to an external SSD and install and run Applications from external drives. The 16GB RAM are fine and the SSD will be upgradeable in the future hopefully.

Thats both not true. Apple Supports OpenCL as well nothing translated there and Cinebench r23 is also a Native Apple Silicon App. 🤷🏽‍♂️

No! Just do a little bit of research and find out what I’m talking about. 1. OpenCL is a deprecated API Apple abandoned long ago when they switch to Metal. It still works in macOS, but it’s no longer being improved or updated. Metal is Apple’s officially supported API that all the major and modern apps use. 2. Cinebench r23(not Cinebench 2024) uses Intel binary to run its benchmark. It’s therefore translated through Rosseta 2 on Apple silicon systems. This is known by industry experts who know how the benchmark works. Cinebench 2024 is the natively supported Apple silicon version. Just read their release note on their website when they announced the new benchmark where they stated that this one is optimized for Apple silicon.

@@wisdomyaw03 wow, how can someone be so confident in his bullshit? First of all, I'm not a developer, I'm a user and I can use OpenCL and OpenGL on MacOS even if Apple says Metal is the Way to go, but how should I compare a Mac against a Windows Mini with Metal? It's not possible. On Cinebench you are completely wrong. In fact CB r23 was one of the first native Apple Silicon Apps cack in 2020. You can google that yourself. Just try "cinebench r23 apple silicon".

Applications Folder can’t be moved to SSD and they can be installed just if the App is bigger then one GB.

In Single Core Performance the best Intel and AMD CPUs come just close to the M4 Performance. A 4090 System will be better in some Video Editing workloads but that also highly depends on what you are doing. Just basic editing of 4K with Grading it will just give you a higher power bill and some shorter Export times.

This is not suitable for After Effects

No like any mac they don't have upgradeable RAM

Thank you for the Feedback! I also think so! 👌🏼

I just needed it for myself today again 😂

Thank you for the feedback and your sub! Never heard that, just some people told me I look like messi.

Yes of course but I mostly use my Power Button to lock my mac.

A filmmaker is referring to someone that makes videi by himself from start to finish. idea, Shoot, Sound, Edit, Grade. Content Creators are also often referred to as Filmmakers but there are a lot of one man show Filmmakers I know that don’t call themselves Director, DP, Colorist or whatever since they do it all. And no, coloring is not a hardware demanding thing. It’s basically a joke for your hardware to apply grading. color Grading is not a problem for the Mini at all. VFC is something totally different. But if you are using VFX you know that you need Most power possible and I don’t talk about VFX here or do I?

@@davision-en Coloring is a joke for hardware? Seriously? I think you have never been involved in a professional process of color grading. Applying effect or two for YT video is not color grading. And filmmaker is a person involved in film making. And filmmaking is pretty well defined. Google it up.

At some point the GPU would be holding you back yes. But it highly depends on what you plan on doing with it.

@@davision-en Photography & Videography - but not at a professional level. I'm a hobbyist but also want something that would last.

@@Kristof_InsertRandomText for Photography it doesn't hold you back at all since it even outperforms the M3 Max MBP with 64GB RAM. I create 8-10 Videos a month on a professional level and could do this at the Mini as well just with longer export times.

@@davision-en awesome, appreciate the responses and guidance 🙏 thanks so much 💪

You may are surprised to know that native English comes from Europe... How is it possible that People still talk about how a obviously non native speaker has troubles with some words?

I have no experience with Final Cut, but I dropped 4K 60 from my R5 II HEVC 4:2:2 into FCP 11 this days and I went just fine as long as you are just cutting and grading. Everything that is GPU Effects will make is much slower. But for Basic Editing and Grading this is just fine.

See in the Video.

@ ah? I didn’t notice you talking about it. Will check again! Thank you and thank you for the video. Is that club matte beside you? Lovely drink! 😀

My but my Channel is facing Photographers and Filmmakers. So maybe this Video is not for you.

@ not my fault that YT served me this

@@JohnDoe-el5ir Even the Title says so...

Loving it! What country are you from? I thought they are just avaiable in Germany?

@@davision-en I study in germany so I've come here and become a fan of the mate drinks, haha

😍 check out my German Channel I post much more Videos over there!

As I said in the Video the Fan doesn't even Spin when the CPU is under 100% Load. Just when GPU and CPU are tacked at 100% is starts to be audible but far from annoying. You can hear it in the Video as well.

Yes I know but only in english as you say.

It's a SSD Enclosure where you can put a M.2 SSD Inside. It doesn't need any tools and there aren't any out of the box that are this fast and that cheap. It's the ZIKEDRIVE USB4 Enclosure.

Ich habe einen deutschen Kanal aber was ist dein Problem? 🙄

​@@davision-enWieso sprichst du dann nicht deutsch?

​@@OraGoog Klar spreche ich deutsch aber das hier ist offensichtlich ein Kanal mit englischen Videos...

Thank you for the Info I will give that a try in the future. :)

Maybe next time the power button got switched for a gentle stroke over the Apple logo so the Mini feels your love.

The Temperature of the Chip itself doesn't influence it's life time since they are designed for more then 100° for years and silicon doesn't degrade with heat.

Heat is the #1 reason for failures by far. Yes it is true, the chip is fine at 98c, but it's the board and other parts that will degrade or fail over time of high temps. This was a stress test, short period, so 98c is OK, plus Apple certainly designs to get that heat away from other parts, I still prefer lower temps higher fan noise any day. Macs tend to run hot as Apple likes less fan noise, I would use fan control and ramp up the fans, it's still not noisy and yes it can save you from problems. I feel letting the heat go so high is the main reason some Macs end up with board failures. These tiny enclosures and lower fan speeds will lessen the life depending on usage, with M1 MacBooks I saw failures because they ran hot and people would use them on beds or a couch so heat built up instead of dissipating. I don't blame Apple, people want thin, tiny computers and no noise, and I saw failures from heat on all brands.

@@TheFeedRocket I think you got this totally wrong, the CPU Die is at 98° not the Board, the PC itself or anything else. It's the CPUs Die Temp nothing more. And no, CPUs don't degrade from high heat.

@@TheFeedRocket and this #1 reason for failure it complete nonsense, if you can please provide my with some Sources for Fact Checking. I never heard of a System failing because of high CPU Die temps and I'm a IT professional and was working in IT for 15 Years before getting self employed. I even was a professional overclocker back in the day. I never ever heard that a CPU was failing just because of high Die Temps. No, maybe with High Voltages as well, not the case here. You can even run CPUs without a cooler and they will just throttle as hell but not die.

​@@davision-en Maybe it's because you are in Germany and the PC's you had there were not cheaply made, because I have no idea how you never heard of a system failing from high CPU temps. Heat is certainly a top reason for component/system failure here. I didn't say anything about CPU failing from heat, I said the CPU is OK at 98c, especially being a stress test. Where does that heat go? if the manufacturer does things right it is removed through vents or even the case itself as a heatsink. But people do dumb things, they place computers in poorly ventilated locations, fans fail, get dirty, people use laptops on beds, carpets etc. Depending on the usage heat is the thing that cause most failures, not the CPU failing, but the board and components on the board fail from sustained high heat which comes from the CPU mostly. PCs board failures I fixed back in the day were over 50% heat related, even some voltage issues came about because of heat degrading a solder joint or other component which in turn caused the voltage issues. Keep using it in those poor situations with the heat build up (from the CPU) can cause board failures especially in poorly ventilated PCs. I don't like heat, heat absolutely degrades components, it's not even debatable, they do tests on systems or electronic parts and heat plays a huge part in finding out the MTBF (mean time between failures), and just 10c can make a huge difference in the life or failure of a component. Again not talking CPU failure, although back in the day heat did degrade CPUs 🤪 I actually encountered it often, but I asked ChatGPT, Is heat the #1 reason for board failures? this is what it said: Yes, heat is often considered the #1 reason for electronic board failures. Excessive heat can cause several issues in electronic components and printed circuit boards (PCBs), including: and it went on to list issues. You know I should have kept a record but lots of poorly built PC's, I mean really that was what I mostly encountered, extremely rare to get a call for Apple, or Dell Optiplex, Dell consumer line yes, but there was a zillion more PC's I guess, some had such poor designs and poor components. I always built my own, still have one running 24/7 for like 10 years, 7 fans, not loud, personally I have had 9 PC's never had a single failure of anything. only 2 Macs, also no issues. I miss the calls, I fixed a lot over the phone, but hated software issues so much, I ended up telling people to buy a Mac, and I slowly lost repeat customers...seriously I ruined my own business.🤣

It gets hot when you constantly write on it. But I use it since 1,5 years and I haven't found anything better overall. I made a Comparison Review over on my German Channel.

It has great character but also some major flaws like in the Bokeh. Thats just ugly.

I personally use the ZIKEDRIVE USB4 Enclosure.

I don't use either of this tools since they suck. I use Pugetbench to get a Premier Pro Comparison and thats it. I use and highly recommend Resolve and Fusion for such work and as a benefit you will get way less headache from it then from Adobe.

After Effects would be way to much for this Machine. You should at least go with a M4 pro.
