Get THE MOST Out of Mac Mini M4 🚀 2024

[@ivansapozhnik7949]

Pasty developer here. Thanks for the shout-out! I really appreciate your attention to my app. There is another one that I'm currently working on you may find useful - Lasso window manager.

[@ThisIsE]

That's awesome 👏 You did a fantastic job and I am definitely giving your Lasso app a try! I am pinning this comment if someone else want's to check it out: www.thelasso.app/

[@andresvidoza]

This stuff just makes me want to switch from my custom pc to a mac studio 😂

[@DOGroove]

Definitely wait a couple months for the M4 Studio… it’s going to be amazing.

[@ThisIsE]

An M4 Studio will fit your setup like a glove 🙌🏻

[@steftech.visuals]

with a nice Satechi HUB, this Mac mini M4 with a decent config, could be the new Mac Studio.....with a pocket size ! ( probably the most amazing Apple gear in 2024 !.... and more powerfull than a PC ? ) Cheers from France !!

[@cloudywintr]

I'd love to see if you found any utility apps like these for your Windows setup. We'd love to see how we can improve our Windows workflow using apps similar to what has been shown here.

[@Chikowski101]

Bro love you dude

[@Devanshukoli]

that stuff on monitor, video cam. really got me good. I thought it was kind of sci-fi robotic movie. lol

[@ThisIsE]

It's impressive indeed

[@ArkadiuszFlak]

Finally, someone explained functions and accessories people actually use. Thanks

[@ThisIsE]

I am super happy you found it useful!

[@borislaviliykov4998]

That Autoraise app... You have no idea, how much I love you right now! :D

[@ThisIsE]

Hahahaha. Thank you!

[@Mangold108]

the 8BitDo Ultimate, is better bluetooth or 2.4 ghz? thanks (for mac)

[@jtchalatsis]

Great video as always! Out of curiosity did you get the fully spec'ed Mac Mini with the M4 Pro or did you keep the cost low with the base option? Also, would you recommend the value-for-money base or the M4 Pro Mac Mini for video editing? Thank you for all the amazing content!

[@ThisIsE]

Thank you! I got the very base model 😉 I am yet to test it with video editing so I'll try to report on the perfomance.

[@jtchalatsis]

@@ThisIsE Thank you very much for your work!

[@darylcheshire1618]

I got my M4 Mini Pro on Friday, I have pressed the ON button about three times when plugging in cables, my 43” monitor runs at 144 Hz, if you want to run UFO Test, use the Chrome browser, the Safari browser won’t go above 60 Hz. It runs WoW without problems but it runs warm and I don’t hear the fan, I might try and run this fan software I read about.

[@alexandrearato]

Still not decided if I will upgrade from MacMini M1 2020. For my usage, the only reason would be future OS updates. But, as you say, why not?

[@ThisIsE]

It all depends on your budget Alex. If you think about it, this is a device that costs less than a smartphone so perhaps you shouldn't feel too bad replacing it.

[@girinathprthi]

Great video. But would definitely disagree for 60Hz display I also bough m4 mac mini and connected to 60Hz and 120Hz display, its day and night difference.

[@ThisIsE]

As I said, it is enough for some of us. No need to disagree on something I personally agree with 😊

[@adamsilverman2066]

Thanks for this. I really enjoyed all of your recommendations.

[@ThisIsE]

I am glad to hear that 😊

[@TekkitsWorkshop]

This video gave me literally more value than anything else mac related in the past month. Excelent work!

[@ThisIsE]

I am super happy to hear that!

[@BuzzLightroom]

Ok, I got all these accessories, but my bank account is empty for the Mac Mini!! :D J/k. Monitorcontrol looks nice, looking forward to trying it out with for compatibility with my Samsung display at work.. Edit: Also, the other app recommendations. I'm not too experienced as a Mac user (2020?), and my units have been lacking in regards of these powertools for simplifying and improving the user experience! Thanks!

[@ThisIsE]

My pleasure! 😊

[@MikeMercadal]

What was that hub that sits under the mini? It’s like the satechi one for the old style mini. Satechi doesn’t have one yet.

[@andrewjames_in]

Hey E, where can i find the 3D file for printing Mac Mini stand?

[@ThisIsE]

It should be linked in the description Andrew

[@TechlikeL]

Such an amazing little computer. I’m using an MacBook Air m1 and I absolutely love it. Keep up the awesome work, E 😊

[@ThisIsE]

Thank you as always my friend 👊🏻

[@AmazingVibes1000]

sir i want to use 3 monitors to my new mac mini m4 .. for my trading purpose. please suggest me a budget friendly monitors with good quality

[@AlexGTech]

Killed it! Love the mini ❤❤❤❤

[@ThisIsE]

Thank you, Alex! Indeed such a great package!

[@steve4321able]

How is the Blutooth connection? Did they fix the quirks from the M1?

[@ThisIsE]

So far, so good

[@emeraldeyesinthesand8355]

Could you please tell me the watch you are wearing, sir.

[@ehhejdjsmsmamwmsmjdcnn4524]

I believe it’s the G-SHOCK CASIO FULL METAL 2100 series,price $550

[@ThisIsE]

Circle to search? 🙂

[@seehowto]

Great ideas all of them. One thing I noticed es is that you too have joined the clubb of non-smart watches with a smart ring ( I went with the Samsung Ring - still with the Fold 6 next to the iPhone).

[@ThisIsE]

My Samsung ring died so I went back to Ultrahuman which is a bit less comforatble but it does provide better insights. I need to find a way to repare the Galaxy Ring.

[@seralyncampbell4731]

In regards to the 60hz thing, I'm open minded about it (or I try to be) but when every single device I have is at least 120hz, when I go back to the one 60hz device I have, it feels like I've gone back in time 15 years. I know you're a pro user on every other device so I'm surprised you don't have this issue too. It's honestly the only thing keeping me from buying an ipad mini (even though I have an M2 12.9"). It really doesn't feel weird to you after using your phone or ipad or MacBook pro?

[@danpm1990]

0,1 second lag while scrolling doesn't make any kind of difference to many people, myself included. I even have 90/120hz turned off for all my devices so I can save battery life. 60hz is more than good enough, but to each their own :)

[@seralyncampbell4731]

@@danpm1990 You know, it didn’t make a big difference to me either until I used a high refresh rate device for a while and then swapped back. At that point, it felt really laggy to me, almost in the way that old processors running newer software feels. But I mean hey, if you’re not experiencing that, by all means enjoy it! It keeps you open to less expensive devices and hardware too. I wish I could not feel it so acutely but it’s kinda like … liking the color orange. I don’t choose to, it just is that way. Thanks for sharing ✌

[@Alan-z9j1k]

One very useful thing I didn't see mentioned that I am curious about: TouchID. The mini supports it, but I guess the only way is with one of Apple's keyboards, correct?

[@ThisIsE]

Yes

[@MichaelJacksonTopTV]

Thanks for the forecast! Could you help me with something unrelated: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

[@elmarcentral]

Thank you for autoraise!!! I've been using a different app and it works but has its downsides and is in beta! Will try it out because MacOS sucks at multi-window productivity without a feature like that.

[@ThisIsE]

Happy I was able to help!

[@michaelmckeever9]

[@ThisIsE]

It really doesn't bother me one bit, despite being surrounded by many other devices that run at higher herz. I am not much of a gamer so the monitor is a tool for me. Do I wish there was a 5K color accurate display with 120hz - absolutely! I do prefer being able to produce the best looking videos as possible and this is where a monitor like this beats hz.

[@seralyncampbell4731]

@ Fair enough! Thanks for the response :)

What Kind of Speakers JBL are those? I can not find them. Grtz from Belgium

[@ThisIsE]

Greetings back ☺️ You can find the speakers in the description

[@Royaleoake]

I’ve been thinking about a Mac Mini as well for a long time, but I find that I use my iPad for my very casual photography and videography usage. Whenever I upgrade my 10 year old Ultrasharp monitor, I may get one to replace my Windows machine finally.

[@jameswelch2850]

This video was extremely well done. One of the best videos I've seen of its type. Very useful all the way through.

[@ThisIsE]

Much appreciated 🙏🏻

[@lilrocketman8114]

Now if only they would optimize for gaming apple would literally crush competition

[@ThisIsE]

I hear you!

[@akin242002]

I got a 1080p 60 FPS web camera. It nice for casual and professional web camera meetings. Examples: Family meetings across state/country lines, work meetings from home, and keeping up with kids in college out of state, and many more. Mine was $30 USD. Also, the USB A to USB Type C adaptors are so low costing. Between $8 to $10 USD on Amazon.

[@Everyday_Legends]

The Mac Mini is such a sweet deal! I have an M2 MacBook pro I use for editing, but I might pick up a mini in the future. Great video E 😎

[@ThisIsE]

Thank you! This little guy stays with me for sure! I love it!

[@spyridonptochis]

You make a mac user (by force) very happy thank you for the content❤

[@ThisIsE]

Glad to hear that! Autorise I assume?

[@TheSushit]

Your 'Monitor Control' suggestion really made my day. Though I couldn't find 'Autoraise' in my app store. Might be unavailable in my country. Ironically I have most of these suggested gadgets but my desk looks like a junkyard. Wish I could stay this organised.

[@ThisIsE]

I’m sure if you spend some time organising it you can achieve a similar result. Don’t stress

[@MrTomo89]

11:22 says needs a calendar app to see the date then sees the default Mac one that has more functionality 🤦🤦‍♂🤦‍♀

Nice video, I am myself looking forward to get the M4 Mac mini, tho with a 4K 144 Hz monitor. I am willing to sacrifice some minor scaling issues in order to get 144 Hz. PS: още един sub от 🇧🇬

[@ThisIsE]

I have a bunch of monitors. Send me a message if via my website: www.thisise.tech/contact. I might be able to assist 🇧🇬

[@ABP8214]

Is it just me, or did a bunch of people drop Mac Mini videos today? This can't be a coincidence.

[@GuiseppeAndersson]

True but it's rare that a product is released that blows away all the competition like the M4 does. At least the base model Mini. It's very un-Apple to be this cheap.

[@ThisIsE]

I have no idea what other people do. I was crazy busy working on my video 🙂

iPad mini 2024 review please ✨

It does. It leads to GitHub

[@andrejcupac7359]

what?

[@ThisIsE]

I haven't found a reason to check at this point. I'll keep an eye on it.

[@DanEmmons]

I find that the Samsung viewfinity S9 5K displays are the best alternative to the Apple displays and I was able to pick up three of them for the same price of one apple monitor. I have three of them and a 4K LG 42 inch OLED with iVanky dock

[@ThisIsE]

I hear great things about them too! I will try to place an order for one

[@thehypnoticlforoom]

The BenQ BenQ MA320U Displays are IMO the best repleacement for the Apple Display. And they are also build to work with Mac's ;)

[@DanEmmons]

@ to each their own, but 4k is no real replacement for 5k

[@thehypnoticlforoom]

@@DanEmmons No but its a lot cheaper and seriously I have the old iMac 27´ from 2017 with a 5K screen and it's good but not that much better than a 4K screen ;)

[@DanEmmons]

@ I picked up three 5K Samsung for $650 each … that’s 3 5K displays for the cost of one Apple 🍎

[@HoundDogMech]

Just turn it upside down Fans get better airflow too.

hahah...never thought of that. It doesn't look bad either 🙂

[@elmerlucero2729]

Why Apple did not make the Mac Mini a one cable option (similar to a MacBook)? That would be an impressive feature!

[@ThisIsE]

What do you mean by one-cable option?

[@elmerlucero2729]

Meaning no need for a power cord when the Mac Mini is connected via USBC (with power delivery), similar to a MacBook.😂

[@NickABQQm]

easy answer, generic AC power cord is way cheaper than PD type c both the socket and the wire.

AND BECAUSE I USE 60hz and 120/165hz as in my daily life... No need for explanation...
