I have two mac minis - one intel and the new silicon one. I also have a Apple 27 inch Thunderbolt display. First I noticed the the cables with the silicon mac mini were incompatible. However, before rushing out to purchase the appropriate adaptors I decide to try out on the old mac mini. Every got hooked up but the display simply did not turn on. There is no on/off switch. So what is the deal? Is the Apple display dead? Any input is useful (ps I am not the type that will open up a mac and start fiddling around with it).
Thanks for the video! Back in August 2018, you have posted a video about connecting the MacBook to an Apple Cinema display. Would the new 2018 Mac Mini be able to connect to the Apple Cinema display using the Option 1 that you have demonstrated? Thanks for your help in advance.
Have you ever tested the 2013 Mac Pro with a eGPU? I'm thinking on doing an external RTX 2080 on mine but worried the TB2 would be to big of a bottleneck.
Джонатан I haven’t ever tested TB2 eGPU but I would imagine it would be a bottleneck. Also RTX has no official drivers from Nvidia but would work through bootcamp. I would probably wait till everything gets better.

Is that the dell dock? I wouldn’t recommend using the dock with a Mac mini, just use a mini Display Port adapter to usb type C.
Gennady Grebenchuk those two adapters will work perfectly. The type c to type A isn’t required since the Mac Mini has 2 type a ports
