Hola me gustaría que hicieras una revisión de la configuración del mini M1 y en especial el apartado de energía ya que veo que tiene problemas de suspensión muchas gracias de antemano.

[@jdz1]

Yeeeeeaah I got this pc too

[@littlehooliagan]

niceeeeee hehe

[@mathewsjoy8464]

Anyone wanting to get this monitor only get it in 1440p or above because in 1080 you can see pixilation

[@lisabeth9411]

I’m contemplating getting one of these. But I noticed you said it’s not the best for adobe users which sucks lol I’m an editor and I’m looking for something that’ll run ae just fine.

[@MarcoFlores-um7cj]

Got thw basic model for home office. It’s the best

[@littlehooliagan]

that's awesome!! i'm glad you're enjoying it :)

[@LamarMK]

Nice Setup! The microphone is pretty cool. 👍

[@littlehooliagan]

thank you!! and yess it is haha i love it 😊

[@LamarMK]

@@littlehooliagan You’re welcome! 😁 Next time I upgrade my Mic I’ll probably get this or one from Elgato.

[@littlehooliagan]

oo yes i've heard many good things about mics from Elgato! I think either one would be a really good choice. from personal experience, since I've only had the Rode mic and have never tried Elgato's, I would say the Rode mic produces very very clear and crisp audio, even from a good distance, and is very easy to connect and use 😃

[@LamarMK]

@@littlehooliagan Yeah, Rode makes great microphones. One came with one of my previous camera kits and the audio was very good. Who knows I might just get a Rode mic again lol. 😂

[@littlehooliagan]

ohh wow thats cool! and LOLL lemme know what you decide on when you get to it!

[@ytgirl2590]

I think you're one of the few youtubers who did an amazing unboxing and desk setup with the mac mini. I am super nervous because I want to buy it but I need to save a lil bit more.

[@littlehooliagan]

ahhh thank you so much for those kind words :') you made my day! honestly i completely understand your nervousness tho, it's definitely still a heck of a lot of money. i hope youre able to get your own mac mini soon!!

[@IntentionalTech]

New video please how is it feel now?

[@littlehooliagan]

hi!! i uploaded a 2 month update video on my channel already :) basic gist is i still love it haha

[@Iamfeartheviper]

Wow i'm literally trying to do the exact same thing. I have a MacBook 15 inch, and I'm strongly considering upgrading to a mac mini or to buy another laptop.

[@littlehooliagan]

i honestly highly recommend it. the mac mini with the m1 chip is really powerful and has such high performance for such a reasonable price range! but if you want more of a travel device, then their new macbooks are great too!

[@Iamfeartheviper]

@@littlehooliagan Thanks a lot! I'm a designer and I mostly work at home so I most likely will buy it. I heard the adobe software now seem to work well which is great. What product or connector do you require to connect the mac mini with your screen? Is it just HDMI?

[@littlehooliagan]

oh that's perfect then! mac mini is definitely the way to go for your line of work and yup, the adobe softwares are starting to work well now too :) and yeah just HDMI to connect the mac mini to the monitor! it was so much more simple than i thought, considering this was my first time have a desktop setup haha

[@omaralshareif3123]

i am going to getting one but the 8gb ram

[@littlehooliagan]

nice!! very excited for you :)

[@kenseifeitan4663]

pano nyo inupgradesa 16gb

[@littlehooliagan]

hi! sorry i don't speak tagalog haha but i translated your comment so hopefully my answer is helpful! i didn't upgrade mine to 16gb, i just bought it at 16gb already. the thing with the mac mini is that you can't actually upgrade so it's either you choose 8gb or 16gb :)

[@ertysert]

how did you connect the ipad as a second monitor?

[@littlehooliagan]

i used a function called Sidecar! it should be under your settings :) I would definitely look up "apple sidecar second display" on google for clearer steps on how to get it to work!

[@nzaenalaripin48]

ahhh thank you so much for those words, it really means a lot ☺️ and ooo i'm so excited for you too, it's perfect for photoediting and school!! i hope you enjoy the M1 as much as i do hehe

[@RonsWorld5]

Nice unboxing video. Just received my Mac Mini M1 16GB. Waiting for a few more items to be shipped to me such as my monitor and OWC 14-Port Thunderbolt 3 Dock and then I’ll hook it all up. I have an iPad Pro and to use it asa second monitor seems so cool. Thanks for sharing. 🙏

[@littlehooliagan]

thank youuu! and oo that's awesome, i'm excited for you!! you're gonna love it when you're able to put it all together :) and yess using the ipad pro is definitely a plus. glad i was able to help!

[@FiliusDei777]

Where did you conect The webcam, to The Mac Or monitor? Was it usb or usb c?

[@littlehooliagan]

i connected it to the mac mini and it was usb! :)

[@sakusawifeu5258]

helloo!! is the mac mini good for gaming like minecraft and roblox?

[@littlehooliagan]

hi! i've only tried minecraft, but it runs pretty smoothly in my opinion :)

[@rangerc310]

I should have mine next week. I got the 16gb with 512 memory for Recording with Logic Pro X

[@thejeffgeronimo]

How’s the experience after 5 months? 🙏🏼

[@Eddy0809]

But in my opinion, you can use your Mac mini connect the TV monitor, Mmm...the result will well with iPad Pro/ Air

[@littlehooliagan]

definitely an option! i've done that a few times already and it works great :)

[@transitengineer]

This was an excellent video! I really enjoyed seeing the joy you felt opening and setting up your new Apple mac mini with the new M-1 chip along with a new monitor and microphone. We can all relate to the fun of setting up a new system. If this had been done about 10 year's ago, you would have been able to install it, just like me using a 2010 mac mini (the last model with an internal DVD super-drive) paired with an Apple 27-inch (none thunderbolt) cinema display. This setup requires no parts to assemble and no other devices because the Apple cinema display has both a built-in video camera and speakers plus the resolution of the monitor is 2560 by 1440 which, is higher than with the HDMI port. It is so sad that Apple Inc., no longer sales displays unless you buy an iMac apart from their 6K model at $6,000 (when you include the support stand) which, is out of the price range for most people. Hope, they will make a cheaper model in the future for the "Rest of Us". And again, great video and thank you for sharing it with us.

[@littlehooliagan]

Thank you so so much for your comment! It really means a lot to me. Yes, I completely agree, it was much easier to install the 2010 mac mini with the actual Apple display, but like you said, their newest displays are extremely out of price range for most people, including myself. I also hope they come out with cheaper displays in the future because I ideally would have wanted to complete my mac mini set up with the Apple display haha. Thank you again for your thoughtful comment :)

[@sergsdayao7918]

do i need to buy an Apple keyboard and mouse for the initial setup or 3rd party accessories will do?

[@littlehooliagan]

hi! honestly i don't know if 3rd party bluetooth accessories would work, since i've only tried using apple products for the initial setup, but i think 3rd party WIRED accessories would definitely work

[@bocchicchiotwo]

Not gonna lie I’m thinking getting the same as monitor as you for my Mac mini how is it wise is the same good and picture Cause they have a 34 inch one but i just can’t pick let me know

[@littlehooliagan]

hi! i recommend getting the 34 inch monitor because mine (the 29in one) has amazing picture quality already and works perfectly with my mac mini, but if i had more money and desk space, i definitely would have gone with the 34 in because a bigger monitor means more multitasking and you'll be able to work more smoothly! so if you can afford the bigger monitor, i'd say go with it! :)

[@bocchicchiotwo]

​@@littlehooliagan Hi thanks for the info i got me a 60x24 desk it has a 27 in moni Tor on it so i might get the 34 inch if its too big ill get the 29 inch thanks again I’m starting a KZbin channel soon so keep a look out just wanna tell you i know you have th E apple keyboard and the Mx master 3 from Logitech they are great comb think you will like them

[@littlehooliagan]

ohh i see, yeah i think you'll really enjoy the 34 in more! and niceee i'll keep a look out on your youtube channel :D

[@littlehooliagan]

hii hmm well i think it ultimately depends on what you're planning on mostly using it for/what your occupation is, etc! do you know what you'll mostly be using it for? like is this for just daily computer use or are you doing any graphic design/videoediting/coding etc on it?

@@littlehooliagan what do u suggest??? I also do editing too...I too have a yt channel

[@littlehooliagan]

hii sorry for the late reply! i suggest getting the 16gb ram with 256gb storage, which is what mine is and i do the same thing as you! i edit videos, do work/school, and code as well! for the stuff we do, having a 16gb ram will allow for less chances of running out of ram when you're using editing softwares and the mac mini is already non-upgradeable so its better to have the 16gb! and in terms of storage, i use an external harddrive so it helps with not having to worry about running out of storage, so thats why i go with the smaller option :)
