I might skip the ads, but I appreciate that they aren't painful to watch and full of deception. Linus seems to just show some honest appreciation for his sponsors, and they deserve that. If advertisers were more down to earth and not so full of glitzy bullshit, I might not find it disgustingly jarring like so much cheap-tasting cotton candy shoved in my face... or vape smoke of that flavour blown in my face.

As a mobile app developer, I need to have mac hardware to build iOS apps. I have a custom built 8700k desktop, but needed a mac for building iOS apps. So I grabbed the new i5 mac mini. Works extremely well for my use case without having to buy a 2k+ macbook pro. I only use it really as a server, so I don't really care too much about the gpu piece of it. I just want it decently fast to compile code, and it does that well! We have a couple 2012 i5 dual core mac mini's at work we use for servers, and this new one is ridiculously better.

Finally a developer's opinion around here :D. I'm looking forward to buy one for the same reason, and even that a Macbook Pro Retina Display is awesome to use, a more powerful hardware with a "bunch of savings" in exchange for the lack of a gourmet screen IS the big deal for developers.

@@IpelengMotsatsi There is no way to access the data on that mac if the machine is not booted up and the usb or ethernet are working, if the machine breaks for some reason your data is gone, even if the t2 wasn't there, the nand chips and controller are directly soldered on the motherboard, de-soldering nand chips might be possible but it also corrupts the memory (and would require using the nand's manufacturer flash program to be run on it to even work again, which would completely destroy the data, this just assumes that you also managed to move the controller, and were able to relocate all the nand chips, sometimes you even require to run a separate flash process outside the machine with a special piece of hardware). So yes, if you overcome the hardest part that is to de-solder nand and reflash it, and re-solder it into a mac without ruining everything, then the t2 might be an issue, but i don't see a point in calling t2 an issue when there are ssd soldered macs without t2 with no motherboard port to recover the info and well the info is gone.

Also the difference on the rates would mean that paying an us worker to fix a machine locally would be more expensive on the long run than actually doing this sort of crap.

What this Mac is for is the home user, hobby musician, graphic artist or KZbin creator. It does all of these functions extremely well and shouldn't be viewed as a serious professional production workstation for video or 3D work. I just bought one about a month ago to use as my recording studio machine. I run Logic Pro X, EZ Drummer, Fruity Loops and a few other standard recording packages. I use a Focusrite 6i6 interface where I run Line 6 Helix Native for guitar and bass. This replaced a PC that I was running Sonar on before. This Mac is amazing, it runs circles around the PC and is absolutely silent. I highly recommend for the uses I mention above, it is a phenomenal little machine for this stuff. If you want professional studio grade horsepower for video, animation or true professional music production, get the Pro.

[@nudsh]

@Gray Cat Productions - For photoshop, processing, compositing, etc it will work fine. You just need more horsepower with an external GPU for 3D rendering or extensive video work.

[@Simeon_Harris]

this is good to hear. it's been really hard to find reviews of the new mac mini that don't complain about it's lack of ability when it comes to video editing and gaming. some people don't seem to realise that not everybody want to edit video in 4k or play games! (which this machine is obviously not designed to do). i use logic audio and have been looking to upgrade from my old quad core i5 imac. on paper, the 6 core mac mini looks like a great choice....super fast cpu, upgradeable ram and lots of connectivity for my thunderbolt audio interface and external ssd's. much cheaper than the mac pro and doesn't have two graphics cards that i don't need! i have seen a couple of reviews that say it flies for music production, so i'm encouraged to read your post confirming this.

@Zulu Voodoo I'm a musician who has been using a mac mini everyday since 2012. Sure, it's not perfect but it's lasted me a long time with some cpu intensive tracks, and I have very little complaints.

And Because It Is An Apple! If you think your Mac Mini works great for what you use it for, you must be delusional, the specs say it is no good, a sh_t sandwich. If you think you enjoy working on your Mac Mini, you are delusional because the specs and price say that it is impossible to enjoy and work well. If you think your opinion is more accurate than my facts/specs just because you actually own and use one, you are wrong. Why would you spend a thousand dollars on a system to record your music when you can't even play all my games on it? Why would you buy a pre-built when you can build it yourself for less money?....and an Apple at that? Why would you own an Apple? Truly smart people do not buy products based on quality experience, Truly smart people buy products based on price alone. Truly smart people don't buy BMW / expensive cars, no. ONLY people who have extra money to spend, spend extra money on expensive cars. I get tired of people saying that I am wrong when it comes to Macs simply because their opinion is different, don't tell me I am wrong just because YOU have a different opinion or experience, different people have different priorities and wants and needs etc, and you being different than me does not make me wrong. But "everybody knows" that you should not spend extra money if you don't have to, therefore I know I am the smart one here because my money is more important than your experience. If you decide you want to "fit in" with the smart people and you want to have a good experience recording your music, build your own PC with Windows for less money.

The lack of dedicated GPU is the biggest problem with this machine. Severely limits the potential of what it can do. Or maybe rather it just severely cuts out anything gaming related or 3D render related, which isn't the average consumer after all. Still, there is no upgrade option to add it even, which makes it suck.

[@xureality]

their target market are pretty much production houses (who maintain their own screens) and iOS developers (who literally just need a mac to compile their software because apple) so I don't really see the most pressing need for a GPU. And you can add a GPU to it with a thunderbolt box.

[@odinsplaygrounds]

@@xureality Adding it externally is quite irrelevant. You can, but at an extremely higher cost and downgrade of form factor. And as I said, the average consumer probably don't need too much GPU power, but that doesn't change the fact that this severely limits the possible use of this device. Not everything needs to be a "super extreme gamer rig", but not even having a weak dedicated GPU is quite jarring, as even a weak GPU would outperform the integrated GPU by several times.

[@EbrahimSaadawii]

The Mini is so small that adding an external GPU + SSD + even a freaking Noctua fan would still make a smaller-than-desktop PC, so no I don't see any issues with external upgrading a mac mini compared to any PC.

​@@EbrahimSaadawii Ok, then go ahead and do that lol. And it's irrelevant if you think it's ok to cash out even more for what a lot of people think should be part of the package, as outlined in the video as well due to it's lackluster GPU performance. Had it been cheaper and same price level as it previously were, it could be more justifiable. Not to mention the "you can just buy external"-excuse doesn't really cover the lack of ability to even upgrading to add it.

I'm a student and will use the computer for basic tasks: word processing, slideshows, statistical analysis, etc. Would performing these tasks, sometimes for hours at a time, have it running at 95 degrees celsius? 2) Is there any real need to have a dedicated GPU if you don't play games on your computer? I don't play games, but will the Mac Mini's lack of GPU affect the computer's performance in other ways? Thanks so much.

[@polaire801]

Some Times 1. “Heavy load” would involve programs doing prolonged calculations. Regular office or classroom usage isn’t an issue. The “heavy load” occurs most with video games, rendering videos, etc. you can monitor the performance using the Mac activity monitor app if you want to see a visual representation of the load. 2. I use Mac for work and it’s ok as-is for that purpose. I ended up adding an external gpu for games. You can see it get glitchy if you play 3D games without one.
