I remember watching Leo on The Screen Savers in the late 1990s - it was how I kept up with the latest tech. He's such a nice guy!

As a proud Club Twit Member I really enjoy listening to this every single week.. The banter is so strong and informative.. Honestly there could be a show called This Week In Sandwiches and it would also be fantastic..!!!

I ordered mine during the event and ordered a 3-D printed desk mount under desk mount the very next week. Everything turned out perfectly.

Soooo what specs did ya get ? Any recommendations on a nice monitor 27 to 32 inch for under 500? Also … do you know if the iMac has all slower SSD speeds at all sizes ?

@MasterChief4U 21 күн бұрын

Nothing beats the Dell Alienware Monitor for the $600.00 price. And yes the 256 is slower then the 512... As the Unifi Memory will switch to the SSD space on big rendering files..If you get the 16 GB memory.. But as they say. 95% of the users would never see that.

Very much enjoyed the video and info. Can not wait to update from a 2019 Intel iMac to a Mac Mini. If I could ask a question, my iMac has a 2 TB fusion Drive of which 1 TB is listed as system data. When I upgraded, do I need to take that into account when selecting memory updates or will that shrink weigh down with the upgrade? Thank you so much.

@AtortAerials Ай бұрын

I'm about to buy one Leo...what do you think I should buy do I need a M4Pro Max or can I get by the second from top tier Mini? Miss ya hope you're well! Aloha 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾 Man you guys really geeked out on the throttling thing 😂 I wish I would have heard more input on best configurations etc.

@ExperienceCN Ай бұрын

To see the fan speed, I downloaded an app. It’s always at 1000rpm and it’s not noticeable. What I was surprised about, if you crank it to max 5000rpm it’s sounds like vacuum 😅 I couldn’t imagine it can make so much noise

@Urosaurus Ай бұрын

Many thanks, did you post the High end mini specs somewhere?

@BrentSmithline Ай бұрын

With the possibility of third party SSD upgrades to larger storage at lower price feel this is a great option for a Mac.

I opted for the M4 Pro model and was trying to run three 4K monitor off of the TB5 and HDMI ports, leaving the third TB5 port for external storage. The issue I seem to be having is when the Mini wakes up from Sleep the two TB5 attached monitors wake, but the HDMI attached monitor power indicator lights as if its woke, but there’s no display. When I run all three TB5 ports to the three monitors, all is well. Is there a TB5 hub I can use to tun all three 4K monitors at 60hz leaving me with the two remaining TB5 ports for other uses?

@MasterChief4U 21 күн бұрын

No Hub\Docking Station are out yet..I understand Manufacturers are working on getting them out. But don't just grab the first ones out. As some are pretty smart about reading what people want. Ports, readers. Location of them etc..And still look nice...I even seen some that stand the New Mac Mini on it's side..

@ChrisPollard Ай бұрын

With a Thunderbolt enclosure, or even a 40Gbps USB4 enclosure, you can expand your storage from 256GB on the base Mini to past 2TB for less money (or about the same, depending on the sales you catch) than the 512GB upgrade. And at peak speeds, it may be faster than the 2300-2600MB/s the 256GB internal storage is getting in reviews. Soooooooooooo ... that's what I did, along with a portable 1080p monitor to have a portable desktop Mac.

I have a 27” Intel iMac at my front desk in my clinic. I bought it used for the screen real estate. Sadly, though, I finally reached its capabilities for using MacWhisper dictation. I might have to do Mac mini with their studio monitor as a replacement now.

Based on the tear-downs, the button would fit on the side, They just think their OS is so good, that you rarely have to hard power it down.

@AtortAerials Ай бұрын

Why do people care about the power button? I like that it's on the bottom you don't accidentally hit it now.

You would have to spend more than $10k 20 years ago to get that kind of performance (for the time) also. My M1 Mini works great in my recording studio it's all I need. Heck I can't even get rid of my 2011 MBP because it just won't die lol.

Drive Speed ain't every thing. I just purched the M4 Mac Mini "Bottom of the Line" Put my Windows Sabrent 10GB/s Enclosure with a 1TB Samsung 980 SSD and running Davinci Resolve have no problem running Projects I made on my Windows Machine with that SSD. Just got and waiting on the Samsung 2TB 990EVO from Amazon. But do I really need it. Love to have Both Computers able to Access the Same DATA BASE / SSD.

Apple is going to have to jump into gaming just to justify the higher end models. If someone spends three or four k on a Windows laptop, it's for gaming 95 % of the time. They have the hardware and could set themselves up to compete against PC and consoles.

I turned the power off to my RV. Just to see how long the 1500 VA UPS would run my Monitor and Mac Mini M4.. It. was 6 hours.. They draw almost no power at all....That is without tuning on my 2000 watt inverter. Which would run the whole system for 10 days..

I have multiple Apple devices including a Macbook Pro, however, IMO the $600 base Mac Mini 4 does not deserve the hype. It only has 256GB of storage which is what you would find in a 2005 computer. You can easily buy a MiniPC from multiple manufacturers with a comparable Ryzen 9 8945HS CPU, 1TB of storage and 32GB of memory for $650. Many MiniPC's support Occulink, have a display port, a 2.5GB LAN, plus a few USB 3.2 ports.
