Hi Jamie - I can you first-hand, its great for that kind of workflow. Let me know how you get on 🤛🏻

Yes, money is always a consideration, but I was pointing out the efficacy and usage of it

Wise move - having enjoyed the move to iPad this summer with my iPad Pro, I'd love to get one of these new mini's to review, but I think my money will be better spent on the new Mac mini instead

Hi Adam - as I mentioned in the short, I wonder now if we may not get an event for the Macs. Maybe everything will be done via press release this year...makes you wonder, right?

I wonder now if they will announce the Macs via press release as well

my other half loves her mini. I don't see I need one, but that said, I'd love to review one for the channel, but I'm saving my pounds for the Mac mini - I hope that's a good move...

Ha! I'll have you know my gigantic 6.9-inch iPhone in no way resembles an iPad mini whatsoever 🤣

Not with you and your channel you are awesome! With Apple in general. Just in case it sounded different of what I intended to communicate. I’m in constant frustration with Apple approach of things.

Yeah, Carlos, the mini 6 is looking like great value right now. If I had the money, I'd buy one to review for the channel, but I'm putting my bucks into the Mac mini this time around. Bearing in mind what you've said, you may find this week's video interesting...I'm going back to the iPad this week 👍🏻

mini has never been a premium device anyways. makes sense they would use the a17

hi Adrian - if I wasn't saving my pennies for the Mac mini, I'd be all over it. The continual promise of Apple Intelligence is getting a little bit like a broken record right now...and yes I was surprised at it only having the A17 chip in it. Apple works in mysterious ways...

@@DavidLewisTech Goooooooo Onnnnnnnn you know you want to…. I may get it and just the iPhone Pro….

Hey Mark - great to hear from you. That is why we have the choice, right? Chuffed you like em!

I'd go with Apple silicon - the 24-inch every time. No fans, and super quick!

@@DavidLewisTech No fans is for me the best!! Thanks for the info. Do I go for M1 or M3?

If I use the Imac 27 inch for normal use. No graphic special things, will the fan still work? I ma not a dsigner or so.

You'd probably be ok - but I was working at home yesterday on my 2015 Intel Mac and the fans started to spin up even though I was only working in Chrome. The later, newer machine may be ok, but I think it would be safer to go for an M3 Apple silicon Mac even though the screen is a bit smaller...

@@DavidLewisTech I am thinking of doing the 27 inch machine from 2020 €1299,- .However I am alergic to fan noise. :) So maybe the 2023 machine is better? €1499,-

Hi Dell - yeah I watched it yesterday. Some of it was really interesting (the audio & thumbnail parts in particular). However, the timing...selling us on why they take brand deals and how squeaky and beyond reproach they are...coming out on the back of the Panels app...the timing of the release of that video (notably with no Marques in it) was priceless!

Geez - that's awful news! Have you tried going to an Apple store?

If all the figures we are hearing are true that there will be a speed bump of around 25%, then yeah, I reckon so. Get the M4 Pro with 32GB of memory and I reckon you'll be fine

So, another happy Mac mini user then…I am so tempted…it could be the answer to a lot of peoples issues….

Hi there David - unless I am way off pace here, it seems that the M4 Mac mini pro is going to be getting close to M2 Mac Studio performance. I started to look at prices yesterday of a spec’s up M2 mini…that was sobering, but, it could be a very special Mac!

Hmmm - yes, I purely charge via MagSafe. I know the heat issue can affect the battery a little, but MagSafe is so convenient. Possibly I should try out the cable charging and see how it goes...

@@DavidLewisTech that’s what I did - I switched back to iPhone due to MagSafe when I had my 13 Mini as I didn’t want to worry about Lightning cables (first world problems I know!) and was surprised by the impact it had…

hmmm - food for thought Matt...

oooh - tell me more...?

hi ya my man - yeah, by midnight that evening it was still around 40%. It was a light day of use, but even so, I guess that's not too bad...

it’s pretty good esp as we are running the Beta. I feel like the battery is better than my 15 Pro Max as a direct comparison (15 Pro is with, 16 Pro is personal)… so hopefully that helps!

mines currently sitting at 68% having taken it off charge around 8am today - and it's now 4.30pm...and it's been another light day...been in the studio all day writing, and sorting the podcast etc...

@@DavidLewisTech from experience that’s pretty good! You’ve had the Max version before right?

yup - sure did

Hey man - great to hear from you again. I hope all is well with you. Those iMacs from that era were built like rockets, weren't they! The all-in-one design is just so convenient too...

@@DavidLewisTech Thanks for your concern, David. I appreciate it. Exactly! That's why I still hold on to it. It's built like a tank and I still believe that old design was far superior compared to the modern iMacs. But that's just my opinion. I'm well aware of a Latin maxim which goes that "in matters of taste, there can be no disputes". Take care!

Ah - very eagle-eyed of you! My set-up is a Focusrite 2i2 for the most part. But for recording the audio for these videos I run the Røde mic through a Focusrite Vocaster One and use their app to flatten the sound a little. Then I tidy it up in Audition. I also have an Ivanky hub which I love to bits!

I've never run betas before, but it helps me out as I can chat about my findings on here and hopefully help a little

@@DavidLewisTech I personally thought that was your intention… good 👍🏻 forethought

Actually, John, after I shot that video I noticed at around midnight the battery was still on 41%. It was a light day, but I guess that's not too bad...

Yeah - the battery is a small improvement over last year. And that Camera Control button...I never use it! Well, not intentionally anyway!

Hi Glenn - I think the spec I will go for will be the M4 Pro with 32GB of RAM and 4TB of storage...

He just got the phone his battery health can’t degrade that bad in less than a month, I got the 16 pro max and the battery is excellent

with the improved battery life, I may start only charging to 80%. It had crossed my mind...thanks for getting in touch 🤛🏻

yup - my battery health is still perfect!

Cheers fella 🤛🏻

I’ve been using Max longer than that. Old is just a state of mind really. Until you get out of bed and your knee buckles and you wonder what happened.

Ha! I know what you mean! ☺️

My man - 26 years is a great vintage!! 🤣

Still working with my m1 chip mac mini and it serves more than my needs. I have my pen display connected to with some minor issues. Don't see the sense in upgrading.

if it works for you...that is what matters!

Hey Nicola - great to hear from you. This morning I am working on that combo...M4 iPad Pro hooked up to the gorgeous Studio Display and wearing AirPods Max! I think these new Mac minis could be such great value for money! Great to hear from you - hope to hear from you again some more! 🙏🏻

There is no doubt you'd love working on an iMac - there remains something special about it. Like you though, I am gearing up to buy an M4 Mac mini with 32GB RAM and either 2 or 4TB of storage! I'm pretty certain it'll prove to be faster than my 3-year-old M1 Max MBP...

I saw on MacRumors that Amazon is doing a deal on them right now for about $1250 I seem to recall. I know that is still a crazy amount of money, but it has been one of the best investments I've made...and now, a few years on, will save me money in giving me the option to switch to a Mac mini rather than buying a new MacBook Pro

@@DavidLewisTech The joys of living in Aus $2500 aud currently on amazon over here. Definitely a great option though as you won't need to upgrade to the new MacBook Pro

Hah! I had two Aussies on my Minus Sixteen podcast! That will be up later today...I know there are certain geographical problems with getting tech in Aus!

Hi there - great to hear from you. Sadly Apple stopped supporting the use of the iMac as a display (Target Display) which is a crime if you ask me. If you have any monitor though and the other peripherals, the Mac mini represents silly amounts of power for the money. Put it this way, I think I will probably get one with the M4 Pro chip, 32GB of RAM and 4TB of storage and migrate from using £3500 M1 Max MacBook Pro. Three years on the newer chipset will out perform my current MacBook - crazy times eh!

@@DavidLewisTechWell, ain’t that a kick in the teeth. I guess I am back on track for a new iMac since I am sure a mini plus decent 4K monitor would be more expensive. Thanks for information, I really appreciate it.

no problems - glad to chat and help

Hi ya Jordan - yeah, I edited that point out of the final video, but with the right monitor, the Mac mini can easily double up as a portable set-up. I am so tempted to use it as my main rig for the channel. I think you are coming to the world of Mac at just the right time! Let me know if you pick one up later this month 👍🏻

@@DavidLewisTech I started to look at the new ARM Chips by SnapDragon which then made me look at macs again. It just seems like Apple are way ahead of the game as it stands and I think now the M4 has this much power we will see a lot more applications/games being developed natively for Mac. I think the Mac Mini is a good entry level for me and with the new M4 Processor it should be able to power my Samsung G9 49" oled Monitor. I don't believe the standard M3 could output to 5120 x 1440 but I believe the M4 can which is fantastic. Have subscribed to your channel as this video seemed much more like a real world users point of view rather than some Vloggers view.

Classic! How many have you owned since then?

A fellow Photoshop & iMac user! I've not tried Aperture yet....

I keep hearing rumours...do you think they will ever make another large iMac again though?

Hi there Nigel - well, there is a lot to get through! Sadly, Ali passed away in August. It was one battle she couldn't win. Very nearly 19 years old and left me broken for a time. Still odd going home and not having here there...

@@DavidLewisTech My sympathies. They are great companions. Although cats are independent souls they are also more loyal than some people realise. Best wishes.

Yeah - Ali was a real people's cat. She loved to be with someone all the time. BTW - you might enjoy my free weekly video BTS newsletter. It goes out every Sunday. If you fancy receiving it leave me your details at talkingtechandaudio.com Have a great weekend D

@@DavidLewisTech Done 👍

Cool - 2pm today you’ll be getting a ping from your inbox Nigel 👌🏻

When I read stories like that - I'm even more excited to try one out! I'm expecting great things from it! Thanks for commenting 👍🏻

the clue was in the title!
