@@matthewnoel9237 hey! For me I ran into constant pop ups saying my computer ran out of system memory. I was running Final Cut Pro and photoshop and sometimes Judy Final Cut Pro when I encountered the message.
Agree. My MacBook Pro needs a repair, so I bought the cheapest Mini so I could still work. I'm only using Photoshop, Illustrator, and Premiere, for professional projects. I've had all three apps bog down for simple things that my MacBook that's 4 years older does with ease. I'm thinking the problem is just because the Adobe suite isn't M1 native yet, but I wouldn't risk it and go with the 16gb version.
@@rebelsdeveloper367 I’ve got the 2020 27” iMac with kick a s s graphic card 16gb vram. Cyberpunk is unplayable. Crashes regularly in boot camp. Actually Mac OS crashes regularly too if CPI heats up. Don’t buy!
Problem with the M1 Mac Mini is that it isn’t upgradeable. Yeah the M1 cpu and unified memory is great but if you need more storage or memory in the future none of it is user upgradeable. But that seems to be the future where Apple is headed: upgradeability and repairability will be a thing of the past. You will be forced to buy new products every 2-4 years just like an iPad or iPhone.
I purchased one and upgraded to the 16 gigs of memory... I just set it up this week. I added a Satechi dock for more ports on the front.…And an external hard drive to supplement the 256 gig hard drive that came on it. This is my first Mac operating system-based desktop and I love it. There’s a little bit of a learning curve since I’ve been working with Windows based systems my whole life but it has not been difficult to figure it out over the last few days. The price point is great...even with the memory upgrade it’s still under a $1,000.
Transplant Helper can you use this for everyday use? I need to purchase something for home use and to use with a small business I'm starting up. I'm tired of using a old Dell that's crap and an i iPhone?
I am thinking of buying the 16gb ram model for 1080p (and presumably 4k, but mostly 1080p) video editing, programming, game development on Unity and light gaming (mostly fortnite).

I'd recommend you spending a 1000 dollars for theses specs, base M1 Model with 16GB Ram because you can't upgrade it later,10 GB Ethernet, and get the base storage cause you can get a faster SSD or External Hard-drive because more storage is cheap when your not buying from apple, this configuration is a 1000 bucks from apple and is the same price as the M1 MacBook Air but it has more ram and more ports so if you want to upgrade your desk setup with a stationary computer, this in my opinion is the way to go,ALSO IM THE PERSON WHO OWNS A MACBOOK AIR AND USES IT IN CLAMSHELL MODE AND WANT TO HAVE A SATIONARY COMPUTER BTW
The only problem with getting anything from Apple is it’s like sticking your hand between gears. There is no escape, you get drawn in more and more with every turn of the gears. They don’t do this through vendor lock-in. It’s not like you can’t own an Android tablet and an iMac together, but they just have this enticing package of interrelated products. You start with an iPhone, and realize you can have your FaceTime calls and messages on your Mac, too, so you get one of those. Then you realize your iPad can be an auxiliary screen for your Mac, so you end up with an iPad, and one day, you wake up in a Starbucks, drinking terrible coffee and pretending to work on your screenplay, and you realize what you’ve become.
I purchased the MacMini with 512Gb (for backing up my 128Gb iPhone) of storage and 8Gb of RAM thinking I 'd need to replace it with 16Gb of RAM model when available... uh, no way. 8Gb of Ram stomps my 2019 MBP16" w/16Gb of RAM and 512Gb SSD that I recently sold (as a student with Chrome (10 tabs), Safar (20-30 tabs), Calendar, Mail, Word, Power Point, running simultaneously, etc). Apple did something that was an innovation for once. Way under advertised and one of the greatest innovations to date. They're going to stomp the market and I'm not sure how I feel about that :-O
Awesome video. Love your channel. I’m an iPhone user and I’ve always been on the fence of expanding my Apple echo system and get my feet wet with MacOS but I cringe and my credit card starts shaking when I see the price. LoL. But the Mac mini looks enticing. Thanks to you, that will be my next new toy. Keep up the inspiring videos.
For video editing, would you still recommend the base model? My concern is 8gb vs 16 go unified memory for video editing. I know I will be working with DaVinci resolve with this
I have the m1 mac mini, and it's a nice computer. I also have a ryzen 5 computer with Nvidia gtx 970, and it's nice computer. NO, the mac mini WILL not play all your steam games, I know because I tried every different way, but my pc does. The mac mini is a Great computer for mac users because they really haven't had a decent desktop in awhile, and it's because of thermals and they're macs always throttling down. I blame that on Apple, because the pc's get hot too, but they have better cooling systems. I like the mac mini, and I don't do video editing and high end graphic work on it. I browse the internet, watch movies, play the casual games on it, listen to music, and all the general stuff. This is where it shines, and should be touted more for that for normal users than some kind of graphics work machine. There are some issues with it, but I am hoping that the next Apple update will fix them.
While the M1 is relatively powerful, it is not intended to be the soc of a powerful machine. It really is perfect in the fanless Air and for the purposes of an ultralight laptop. It is not ideal for the desktop Mini (even though the price is great) or the MBP. In a few months we will see the M1x in the MBP 14/16 and the Mini and we will see how the MBP and Mini really is supposed to be.

Yeah, thank's to you, I bought the M1 Mac Mini, replacing my MacBook Air 2017. It's been a blast. My wife's gonna get her M1 MacBook Air, soon, afterwards.
I bought the cheapest Mac mini m1. It is amazing! You don't need the extra ram. This is more powerful than my £4000 MacBook Pro and at a fraction of the price. Will be buying external hard rives.
@@MM-MLT I got the 8gb it’s literally amazing. I have 1 4K 43inch monitor and 1 1440p one. It is handling it really well. No lag what do ever. At first yes then did a software update and since then no issues.
Long time sub... well guess what been checking this mac mini M1 2020. Ordered one will be here tomorrow amazing. I also have mac mini late 2014 pretty slow. And late 2015 iMac 21.5 inch only for the crisp 4k retina screen love it, wish 27 inch. Need Apple laptop to finish my wants. Help me out.
What monitor are you using with the Mac mini? Also wondering what you are using for an external hard drive? I am concerned 256gb is not enough but want something quick for storing pictures and videos.
I’m returning the Mac mini M1 for an Air... Mac mini is so useless, with $300 more, you get fanless, monitor, keyboard, mouse, camera, microphone, Touch ID, battery and PLAY IN BED 🛌!
I’d love to be able to buy one. I own a 10 year old Mac Mini, which isn’t great, but it still works. The new Mac Mini costs 800 euro, that’s more than I can save up in two years. For 90 percent of the world, 800 euro is a lot of money, so the only thing you achieved with this video, is that I feel shitty about my life. Thank you.
Well said! I love my M1 mini- and being able to do voiceovers without having to go back and remove fan noise in post is a timesaver! These machines are insane!
Funny thing, my watercooled PC is EXACTLY my problem right now as I shop for a new mic, and then I started reconsidering an M1 Mini for my video editing needs alone. Probably getting one.
Bought the 8gb Mac mini about a week ago (first time Mac owner), and it's working fine for me so far. I use it to record audio with Logic Pro X. I don't run as many virtual instruments as some do, so 8gb should be fine for me. If it isn't I have about a month to decide if I want to return it, so time for some stress testing!
It works great for me. My workflow is generally pretty small , usually 2-8 instances of a neural DSP plug-in, ez drummer, and a few compressors / eq / reverb . Pretty sure all of those are native M1 at this point. The only thing I have trouble with is Native Instruments, specifically kontakt player and GGD . No native support for that yet
ROFLMAO! Go ahead and buy into a Dead End POS! I just bought a USED but MINT CONDITION Dell Precision 7910 with 2x10 Cores, 128GB RAM, a 4GB Dual Port Video Card and a 1 TB SSD for $1,200. I also can install FIVE MORE Hot Swap SSD drives into it as I need them. FARKING BEAST! Windows takes 8 seconds to Boot and Pro Tools OR Studio One run blazingly fast.
...but, you can only connect 2 monitors....with my 2017 iMac 21.5", I have two additional monitors---LG 32" QHD and an LG 34" Ultrawide; plus, with Univeral Control, I can use my 12.9" iPad Pro as a fourth monitor.
purchasing the base model (8 GB/256 GB) model is like purchasing a Ferarri with a Daewoo 4-cylinder engine. just don't do it. get 16 GB of ram and 512 GB of storage minimum. buy it nice or buy it twice...
I hav query here. I'm on budget and want to have my first MAC thing, I do photo editing and want to hands on video work too mostly like full HD NOT 4K render. I want to use software like Ps, Lr, Adobe premier, Final cut, da vinci resolve, After effect and Ai. will basic system perform well. yes, i will not run all at same time. mostly like combo of Ps LR and premier or fun cut with da vinci. so will basic Mac mini with 8GB ram and 256 SSD works well ? also i check some video here that shows can upgrade RAM in mac mini M1 2020 version. is that possible ? or I cant update ram as it has 8GB unified memory. if any can help me for this answers. Thanks
Can you tell me if the entry level will work for music production (hobbyist) or should i get 16gb, I'm getting the 256gb cause got a spare Samsung i7 TB. I mean with the keyboard at 150 euro and a monitor I wanna stay under 1300. One more thing is it AX wifi?
My 16GB/1TB M1 Mini will be here tomorrow to replace my aging 2014 Mini - Core i7/16GB/1TB. Need the storage and don't want to be crippled in the RAM dept.
Plz anyone explain. Does 8gb ram is best for 20 chrome tabs, 3 office files open and one 4k video running all in the background. ?? Will it handle for next 5-6 years with one 4k monitor alone??
Best is not to buy it at all! I hate my new mac mini (a1)! Stuped file system! It´s like I am married to a super strict woman. Who cares about the speed with such partner!???? Oh, I still have my (much slower) Surface pro 4 to stick to. My "beautiful, openminded partner." "I love you"
You make me feel bad that I just bought the Mac Nini in full spec. Haha! But: which curved wide monitor do you recommend for video editing? Cannot figure out which Samsung you use. Is the LG 38GN950-B a good option?

Can I hook up a Mac mini with my old but functioning mid 2011 imac to upgrade to a newer version. RIght now it will only go to High Sierra. I hate to buy a whole new imac.
So I'm watching this a year later and I have just ordered a Mac mini with 8 core 16 ram, 1 tb ( I run 2 WMD 5 tb) and I'm really excited because it's on its way. I also ordered an LG 34" curved monitor that may not be the best but I can't afford the Mac. I am a video editor and have been using a 2017 MacBook Pro, but I always have to have a fan on in the office and sometimes ice packs underneath it. I run two monitors and a UA-cam channel. I really wanted the Mac Studio, can't afford it however I'm really really excited about this. Your video made me feel really good about my purchase. Thank you so much!

@@MatthewPachecoHi! You should have no problem doing so, it has 2 USB A ports so sufficient for most and keyboard if needed. HDMI input for monitor. There are also two USB C ports so you can always add a dock on to support more peripherals, or use for a monitor if it has USB C. hope that helps!
Bought my MM with M1 and 512gb of storage on release day. It’s snappy but I’m having issues galore with the USB-C to Display port on my monitor(screen won’t come on after it goes to sleep). It works fine when using the hdmi out to hdmi in on the monitor. I’ve been reading forums and this is apparently is a issue that’s not been resolved. I wish I would of known about this before I bought it.

I got a mac mini a few weeks back and used it for all my design work in the 15 years of using macs this is the most impressive for cost.. The most painful thing is io bought the MBP 16 with sup up GPU and 32GB ram and this has been a pain in my vaine in terms of performance

I got my 8gb mac mini brand new at best buy for $550.00. I only bought it for a little dead silent web browser and love it for just that. My gaming pc kicks its but in everyway. But for a little machine it works great. And for the low price it was perfect buy. I did try lightroom on it and it worked great and didn't tap into the swap memory and being people blew the whole swap memory out of the water when it doesn't even matter at all. You can swap memory up to 0.66TB a day and at that rate in 16 years the drive will finally be at the point where the drive is close to being warranty too and still not void the ssd warranty. Crazy when people actually do the math and not impulse buy because a lot of lousy youtubers make up fake stories for views that the 8gb model crashed and black screen because they didn't have enough system memory to do anything. But that being said its a solid little machine that's great for absolutely everything i throw at it. Can't game on a mac unless it's pretty much cell phones games but as a web browser like most macs are great for it fits the bill. But if I was to buy a mac for productivity i wouldn't at all. Build a pc. It's an absolute no brainer to be able to upgrade and keep up with the latest and greatest without buying a whole new computer for just one thing you want to upgrade.
Since there is a lot of honking outside my house every waking minute and that along with refrigerators is a lot. So a computer having or not having noise is basically the same for me
I have just finally switched my late 2012 mac minis (2) for the new 2020 8gb model. I'm a mac mini 15 year vetaran. Take my word, buy the 2020 M1. No brainer.
I have two questions no one can answer : how much RAM does the iOS use up, and second, if I want to watch movies on this thing but only with library apps and peacock, why isn't it possible? I blame the fact that Apple stores have been impossible to shop at because of the pandemic that I'm stuck watching UA-cam videos instead of taking to a person.
Hi Gary, my daughter is running with a 2015 15-inch MacBook Pro and is in her third year at Uni studying Film Production. As part of her course she is editing film from Sony FS5, 6 & 7 pro film cameras. My thoughts were to buy an external GPU to do the very lifting. BUT NOW, the world has changed, would we be better off buying the base Mac Mini. Food for thought me thinks. So many questions and so many right answers, just need to pick one. Great videos as always. So from 25 miles north of London, Be lucky stay safe.
The base spec is skimpy. Doesn't matter how little money you pay for it. It's still skimpy. That's the important thing. You can bump it up, though, and still pay less than you do for an iMac or Macbook.
I’m holding out for the M series 16 inch MacBook Pro. Why? Because I’m spoiled with the larger screens and my current comp is a 2010 15 inch MacBook Pro. But we might get a Mac Mini and attach it to the back of a monitor using a VESA bracket to create a sort of iMac before the M series iMacs drop.
It's not cheap, can build an Intel 12 threads, 16gb, 480gb pc for just 12500 here. To compare the Mac mini is 22900. Almost double (i5 10400 onboard graphics, 16gb ddr4, 480gb ssd, itx board with wifi, power supply, case. And the currency is Thai)
They're quiet and COLD. I used to rely on my old iMac to heat the room up.

I currently edit all my videos on iPad as my 2015 MacBook Pro is just too slow for video editing. I am hoping that with the M1 Mac Mini I can finally start using Final Cut Pro X to edit videos.
How it’s going?
Yeah, thank's to you, I bought the M1 Mac Mini, replacing my MacBook Air 2017. It's been a blast. My wife's gonna get her M1 MacBook Air, soon, afterwards.
I bought the cheapest Mac mini m1. It is amazing! You don't need the extra ram. This is more powerful than my £4000 MacBook Pro and at a fraction of the price. Will be buying external hard rives.
16gb of ram? Any Bluetooth issues?
@@MM-MLT I got the 8gb it’s literally amazing. I have 1 4K 43inch monitor and 1 1440p one. It is handling it really well. No lag what do ever. At first yes then did a software update and since then no issues.
Pay $300 more and you get a mobile M1 Mac mini (MacBook air) which has a display, keyboard, trackpad, webcam, microphone, speakers and battery.
Hi there. Thank you for your contagious happiness. Just ordered mine for my Christmas setup ;-).
Long time sub... well guess what been checking this mac mini M1 2020. Ordered one will be here tomorrow amazing. I also have mac mini late 2014 pretty slow. And late 2015 iMac 21.5 inch only for the crisp 4k retina screen love it, wish 27 inch. Need Apple laptop to finish my wants. Help me out.
Will you ever review cameras again?
What monitor are you using with the Mac mini? Also wondering what you are using for an external hard drive? I am concerned 256gb is not enough but want something quick for storing pictures and videos.
I’m returning the Mac mini M1 for an Air... Mac mini is so useless, with $300 more, you get fanless, monitor, keyboard, mouse, camera, microphone, Touch ID, battery and PLAY IN BED 🛌!
But no ports ... when play in the bed 😬
Why buy a desktop if you wanted a laptop?
@@goingcloudnative ports for what? When in bed
@@BetaFax cause life is strange
@@user-ti2xi9bd4u I feel that.
I’d love to be able to buy one. I own a 10 year old Mac Mini, which isn’t great, but it still works. The new Mac Mini costs 800 euro, that’s more than I can save up in two years. For 90 percent of the world, 800 euro is a lot of money, so the only thing you achieved with this video, is that I feel shitty about my life. Thank you.
here you go another purchase in less than a month after watching your videos ! gh5+mac mini
Well said! I love my M1 mini- and being able to do voiceovers without having to go back and remove fan noise in post is a timesaver! These machines are insane!
Bluetooth issues?
Funny thing, my watercooled PC is EXACTLY my problem right now as I shop for a new mic, and then I started reconsidering an M1 Mini for my video editing needs alone. Probably getting one.
👀 Thanks for the video and sharing your thoughts. I enjoy very much your communication style. Blessings on your day.
Bought the 8gb Mac mini about a week ago (first time Mac owner), and it's working fine for me so far. I use it to record audio with Logic Pro X. I don't run as many virtual instruments as some do, so 8gb should be fine for me. If it isn't I have about a month to decide if I want to return it, so time for some stress testing!
What's your opinion today. Are 8gb still enough for logic pro x ?
Yeah how ya make out with the 8
It works great for me. My workflow is generally pretty small , usually 2-8 instances of a neural DSP plug-in, ez drummer, and a few compressors / eq / reverb . Pretty sure all of those are native M1 at this point. The only thing I have trouble with is Native Instruments, specifically kontakt player and GGD . No native support for that yet
ROFLMAO! Go ahead and buy into a Dead End POS! I just bought a USED but MINT CONDITION Dell Precision 7910 with 2x10 Cores, 128GB RAM, a 4GB Dual Port Video Card and a 1 TB SSD for $1,200. I also can install FIVE MORE Hot Swap SSD drives into it as I need them. FARKING BEAST! Windows takes 8 seconds to Boot and Pro Tools OR Studio One run blazingly fast.
...but, you can only connect 2 monitors....with my 2017 iMac 21.5", I have two additional monitors---LG 32" QHD and an LG 34" Ultrawide; plus, with Univeral Control, I can use my 12.9" iPad Pro as a fourth monitor.
purchasing the base model (8 GB/256 GB) model is like purchasing a Ferarri with a Daewoo 4-cylinder engine. just don't do it. get 16 GB of ram and 512 GB of storage minimum. buy it nice or buy it twice...
I hav query here. I'm on budget and want to have my first MAC thing, I do photo editing and want to hands on video work too mostly like full HD NOT 4K render.
I want to use software like Ps, Lr, Adobe premier, Final cut, da vinci resolve, After effect and Ai. will basic system perform well. yes, i will not run all at same time. mostly like combo of Ps LR and premier or fun cut with da vinci. so will basic Mac mini with 8GB ram and 256 SSD works well ? also i check some video here that shows can upgrade RAM in mac mini M1 2020 version. is that possible ? or I cant update ram as it has 8GB unified memory. if any can help me for this answers. Thanks
Can you tell me if the entry level will work for music production (hobbyist) or should i get 16gb, I'm getting the 256gb cause got a spare Samsung i7 TB. I mean with the keyboard at 150 euro and a monitor I wanna stay under 1300. One more thing is it AX wifi?
My 16GB/1TB M1 Mini will be here tomorrow to replace my aging 2014 Mini - Core i7/16GB/1TB. Need the storage and don't want to be crippled in the RAM dept.
Plz anyone explain. Does 8gb ram is best for 20 chrome tabs, 3 office files open and one 4k video running all in the background. ?? Will it handle for next 5-6 years with one 4k monitor alone??
Best is not to buy it at all! I hate my new mac mini (a1)! Stuped file system! It´s like I am married to a super strict woman. Who cares about the speed with such partner!???? Oh, I still have my (much slower) Surface pro 4 to stick to. My "beautiful, openminded partner." "I love you"
Coding on Windows?? Barbaric!
You make me feel bad that I just bought the Mac Nini in full spec. Haha! But: which curved wide monitor do you recommend for video editing? Cannot figure out which Samsung you use. Is the LG 38GN950-B a good option?
decided to bought this one (base model m1 mac mini) 3 years after you upload this video, to replace my 2011 macbook pro which mostly used sitting on the desk, connected to a monitor
at 2:48 I thought my Wi-Fi speed dropped LMAO
Can I hook up a Mac mini with my old but functioning mid 2011 imac to upgrade to a newer version. RIght now it will only go to High Sierra. I hate to buy a whole new imac.
So I'm watching this a year later and I have just ordered a Mac mini with 8 core 16 ram, 1 tb ( I run 2 WMD 5 tb) and I'm really excited because it's on its way. I also ordered an LG 34" curved monitor that may not be the best but I can't afford the Mac. I am a video editor and have been using a 2017 MacBook Pro, but I always have to have a fan on in the office and sometimes ice packs underneath it. I run two monitors and a UA-cam channel. I really wanted the Mac Studio, can't afford it however I'm really really excited about this. Your video made me feel really good about my purchase. Thank you so much!
How is it? Should I go with the base model or the same one you got for video editing
There’s no monitor, no keyboard, no footstool. That’s why it’s the “cheapest of the bunch.”
keyboard 20$ monitor who dont have monitor ? u can use your tv just conect the hdmi. the most cheaper .... if u want to work with other laptop put your 2000$ minimun.
Most people who buy a mac mini already have a monitor, keyboard and mouse you fool
I took the plunge after watching another of your videos! Got it for 650 on Amazon!
Hey! I’m considering on buying it! Can I plug a keyboard and monitor in it? Their not Bluetooth so I want to make sure. I’m gonna use it for music
@@MatthewPachecoHi! You should have no problem doing so, it has 2 USB A ports so sufficient for most and keyboard if needed. HDMI input for monitor. There are also two USB C ports so you can always add a dock on to support more peripherals, or use for a monitor if it has USB C. hope that helps!
Can it handle 3d rendering smoothly 3d titles and text my old mini couldn't handle it. It was struggleing
Bought my MM with M1 and 512gb of storage on release day. It’s snappy but I’m having issues galore with the USB-C to Display port on my monitor(screen won’t come on after it goes to sleep). It works fine when using the hdmi out to hdmi in on the monitor. I’ve been reading forums and this is apparently is a issue that’s not been resolved. I wish I would of known about this before I bought it.
My wife and I are originally from Cleveland, love your t-shirt! Thank you for convincing us to buy an M1 Mac Mini.
No you shouldn’t buy the apple in the uk . I bought one online. They couldn’t deliver . They treated me appallingly. Please heed my warning they do not care about you.
May I ask why you did not MAX it out when you bought it? I'm thinking for EDITING...
I make beats and love Logic Pro x, I had to sell my old MacBook Air for rent money and got stuck with a windows pc so I was stuck with fl studio.... not a bad program but I really prefer logic..... I’m really thinking on saving and getting one of these new Mac minis
I got a mac mini a few weeks back and used it for all my design work in the 15 years of using macs this is the most impressive for cost.. The most painful thing is io bought the MBP 16 with sup up GPU and 32GB ram and this has been a pain in my vaine in terms of performance
Mac Mini M1 8GB vs 16GB (Don't Make a HUGE Mistake) - UA-cam
hey aussie people watch this too .so quote its " US Dollar " cause my Dollar AUD , doesnt get as much
The Everyday Dad can you please do a review on the best Amd Ryzen Convertible Laptop
where i can find this wooden table frame? please give me the link?
I usted catalina worst so ever. I thought I should buy new computer. But I just format and install a fresh big sir in my iMac (first 5k one) and it works pretty new. And I’m profesional photographer
I got my 8gb mac mini brand new at best buy for $550.00. I only bought it for a little dead silent web browser and love it for just that. My gaming pc kicks its but in everyway. But for a little machine it works great. And for the low price it was perfect buy. I did try lightroom on it and it worked great and didn't tap into the swap memory and being people blew the whole swap memory out of the water when it doesn't even matter at all. You can swap memory up to 0.66TB a day and at that rate in 16 years the drive will finally be at the point where the drive is close to being warranty too and still not void the ssd warranty. Crazy when people actually do the math and not impulse buy because a lot of lousy youtubers make up fake stories for views that the 8gb model crashed and black screen because they didn't have enough system memory to do anything. But that being said its a solid little machine that's great for absolutely everything i throw at it. Can't game on a mac unless it's pretty much cell phones games but as a web browser like most macs are great for it fits the bill. But if I was to buy a mac for productivity i wouldn't at all. Build a pc. It's an absolute no brainer to be able to upgrade and keep up with the latest and greatest without buying a whole new computer for just one thing you want to upgrade.
What about bluetooth and wifi conectivity and 3dd party hardware
M1 Mac Mini using Premiere Pro, or latest Intel iMac? No doubt render & export times are great for Final Cut, but I'm a PP hold out.
I’m just editing audio and doing Zoom calls. Will the base model be fine?
So to the Mac mini accessories or this video we should look at recommended 4k monitors to buy.
I have a Samsung ur59 4k 60hz curved monitor for uk gpb £379.99 and it’s fantastic for its price hope this helps!
$972 in the Netherlands as of December 14 2020, you have it good in the US.
Too bad otherwise I would have surely bought one.
1,099 in Australia :( still have one from 2010. Tempted to try and use it except for the fact its as slow as anything lol
Since there is a lot of honking outside my house every waking minute and that along with refrigerators is a lot. So a computer having or not having noise is basically the same for me
@Antonio Zamudio yeah they are probably made for people like me who want relief but I don't think I can ever get a hand on that
@@aurobhatta Sony XM4 headphones are the best in canceling noise
I know it’s a good product … but if I’ve ever seen a shill video…
@The Everyday Dad this must be your last m1 video plz u made plenty
lovin` mine so far. Its running 45 tracks on Garageband And Cyberpunk at the same time. One may be a UA-cam video though.
Wow that's pretty impressive.
I have just finally switched my late 2012 mac minis (2) for the new 2020 8gb model. I'm a mac mini 15 year vetaran. Take my word, buy the 2020 M1. No brainer.
Is 8 Gb Ram enough for day to day dad usage?
Based variant Mac Mini M1 with Monitor, keyboard, Mouse, webcam, Speakers.
Or
The new 25inch iMac M1 chip.
I'm just waiting for VMWare Fusion to work on this M1 Mac Mini and then I'm sold.
Guys in BHphoto the mac mini price is $669.
I have two questions no one can answer : how much RAM does the iOS use up, and second, if I want to watch movies on this thing but only with library apps and peacock, why isn't it possible? I blame the fact that Apple stores have been impossible to shop at because of the pandemic that I'm stuck watching UA-cam videos instead of taking to a person.
Good review. I just purchased one. The base model Mac Mini m1 is now $550 at MicroCenter. $150 off retail.
Hi Gary, my daughter is running with a 2015 15-inch MacBook Pro and is in her third year at Uni studying Film Production.
As part of her course she is editing film from Sony FS5, 6 & 7 pro film cameras. My thoughts were to buy an external GPU to do the very lifting.
BUT NOW, the world has changed, would we be better off buying the base Mac Mini. Food for thought me thinks.
So many questions and so many right answers, just need to pick one. Great videos as always. So from 25 miles north of London,
Be lucky stay safe.
The base spec is skimpy. Doesn't matter how little money you pay for it. It's still skimpy. That's the important thing. You can bump it up, though, and still pay less than you do for an iMac or Macbook.
I’m holding out for the M series 16 inch MacBook Pro. Why? Because I’m spoiled with the larger screens and my current comp is a 2010 15 inch MacBook Pro.
But we might get a Mac Mini and attach it to the back of a monitor using a VESA bracket to create a sort of iMac before the M series iMacs drop.
I would hope you can’t even hear it, it’s not plugged in
It's not cheap, can build an Intel 12 threads, 16gb, 480gb pc for just 12500 here. To compare the Mac mini is 22900. Almost double (i5 10400 onboard graphics, 16gb ddr4, 480gb ssd, itx board with wifi, power supply, case. And the currency is Thai)
You need 16gb even for video editing.
