Mac Mini “M1” 2020 Unboxing & Setup! - ITS FAST!

[@impatrickt]

$20k for a minute of faster timeline exporting is insane. I’m so excited for mine!

[@draabuu]

You get this wrong. Mac Pro is for professionals who edit and export a ton of videos. 3-minute video: 1-minute faster, 30-minute video: 10 minutes faster, 60-minute video: 20 minutes faster. If you render 10 hours a day, you save 3.3 hours a day -> * 5 days of work = 16.6 hours a week -> 66 a month -> 800 a year, that is 33 days, you saved a whole month of life :)

[@impatrickt]

@@draabuu For sure. I work the same way as Justin though.

[@sadatnafis2032]

Its 1.5 times faster.

[@Rialas]

The most attrative thing is the wall clock on the far right of the room. Joke aside, the Mac Mini is what interest me more than the Mac book Pro/Air as I have the freedom to choose or replace a display. Give the software dev some time to push out native coded apps, and this beast will fly.

[@TheMrunalPatel]

I had bought a Dell AMD laptop after looking at all such fancy benchmarks. Turns out it takes forever to even open the Google Chrome browser, And takes forever even to open the start menu, even though 'It killed all the other CPUs in benchmarks at that time!" So, it is my humble suggestion/ request to all tech-reviewers doing all these benchmarks. Please cover the following questions in a simple manner, For ordinary user 1) When you plug in the old USB-peripherals like HP printer-cum-scanner models which were manufactured some 5 years ago and do not have the latest drivers at present but working fine otherwise with the windows computers, Does such devices function properly with this new macs? 2) When you plug in 21" monitors with 1080p and 1440p resolutions with VGA/Displayport inputs dongle/converters Into this machine- Does it work properly or does it give some blurry fonts effect? Because Everyone does not have the money or space to buy latest gigantic 4K monitor. 3) if the 8GB RAM is shared between CPU-GPU, how fast/better is it for Ordinary work compared to the Intel graphics-chip in laptops in dual-monitor setup- Because even though in real life often laptops struggles to work in dual monitor setup when using Google Chrome browser with online meeting/webcam-mic on? Or does every person really need to upgrade to 16GB to Get those very fast results shown /claimed by the company and reviewers? 4) Compared to HP/Dell/Lenovo laptops with SSD in similar price point- Whether this thing is faster or slower or same speed- For ordinary things like Microsoft office and web browsing? 5) Does it smoothly work with Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel? 6) While using zoom online meeting, and google 'meet'- How smooth/noiseless/glitch-free it is? How noise-free is the microphone? Because, "it can edit/export the 4K videos in Final Cut Pro in very fast manner" = is not really the matter of life and death for most of the computer users across the world in general and India in particular.

[@EcoGamer831]

I'm also am itching to switch to a macbook pro, since my laptop is the only thing not in the Apple Ecosystem and it's hard for me to transfer some files from my ipad/phone to my laptop. But I do hope Justin can do a review on the new models' compatibility with the MS Office software! Coz the price is significantly competitive as those with the intel processors.

I'd be fuming having dropped that cash on the Mac Pro only to have it made redundant by the M1 Mac mini!

[@rossawilson01]

That would appear to be a lot of KZbinrs who never needed Mac Pros in the first place, For people who actually need them for what they were supposed to be for (VFX, large 4k and 8K multicam edit scenarios etc) then the Mac mini is what is redundant.

@@rossawilson01 agreed, it’s like when you see these big time channels using RED cameras. Complete overkill to be honest, unless you’re actually a production company! Theses Mac mini’s are more than capable to do KZbin content.

[@siphonsnob]

FAST. Your title was "unboxing and setup". I saw the plastic come off the box but not the box top come off, what was in the paper sleeve covering the cable? Where did the monitor get plugged in? How was the keyboard connected? What was the setup procedure? How did you get you apps installed? Did you connect ethernet or wi-fi? How would you set it up if you did not have a keyboard and monitor (headless)?

Question (from a beginner video editor) - is the performance the same if I edit off an external SSD?

[@JohnnyMartinez11]

@@pyti0 super helpful! we need more people like you.

[@1MPUL5IVE]

@@pyti0 that is a beginner question. Just because you don’t know what that is, doesn’t mean it’s not.

[@gusparaguss]

Likely not, the internal SSD read speeds on these macs are around 2,500 MB/s. Most external SSDs are around 500 MB/s. And even if you had an external drive that was as fast as the mac (and had the I/O to support it), there are efficiency and speed advantages to editing off of internal storage rather than external storage. But at the same time, editing off of an external SSD, while not as fast as some other options, is plenty fast to do video editing work. Usually it's best to use whatever you have.

as a music producer using a lot of 3rd party plugins, idk if i should upgrade or get an intel iMac now..

[@darak2]

Wait for producer reviews. Audio plugins are notoriously slow when it’s about supporting new technologies. You’ll rely a lot on Roseta 2, and while most reviewers speak good things about it, you may end up not seeing the kind of advantages people are talking about when they use Final Cut and such.

[@chidorirasenganz]

@@darak2 I mean from all the reviews I’ve seen, apps running in Rosetta 2 run the same or a little better and the performance will only take off from there as apps are better optimized.

[@eliaskapravelos7171]

What type of plugins ? VST ? AU ? AXX ? VST3 ? Just wait a month or two if the stuff you use is from bigger companies (Waves, Slate, Fabfilter, Antares), otherwise if it's obscure freeware stuff, well l have bad new for you.
