Just Apple Things

This is 100% ON PURPOSE. And so is putting the Mac Mini power button on the BOTTOM of the thing. There is someone at Apple that WANTS people to burn. Like the mouse is amazing, scrolling is amazing, gestures are amazing, but you can't even hold it properly because it's so fucking.. idk.. what's the

A windows user here, need to buy Mac mini for some apps testing, should i wait for mac mini m5? what's the probability of June Release?

You don’t need all that CPU power just for app testing. Just buy some Mac Mini. Upgrade with maximum RAM for fortune use, that’s more important than CPU speed. The M4 is already rocket fast! 🚀

it unites all of us

I was holding on to my gaming pc for so long but Windows has become utter trash now and because I only really play Cyberpunk2077, Minecraft, Nier, etc I’ll be just as happy with an M4 Mac Mini. Microsoft forcing AI into everything has just ruined the experience along side Windows being spyware now.

How big is the jump from M1 to M4/M5?

My M4 MacBook Pro (standard 10 core) 24GB/1TB rendered the same AfterEffects project in exactly half the time as the M1 Mac Mini (standard 8 core) 16GB/1TB in my own tests.

M4 Mac mini cluster saving thousands per month

We’re on monthly billing with Google Cloud. I maxed out most of the specs on the Mac mini but I don’t think I ended up needing to. I wasn’t sure what the hardware requirements would end up being so I erred on the side of over-provisioning: M4 Pro chip with 14‑core CPU, 20‑core GPU, 16-core Neural En

Should I switch to a Mac mini?

Yes. No question about it. I was a Windows user for over three decades but switched to a Mac mini m4 and was blown away by the performance of Apple Silicone Silicon. It blows Intel/AMD chips out of the water, and I’m not even exaggerating. You can run Windows in a VM if you still need access to some

UNAS Home Media Server

I run plex on a Mac Mini M4 and all my media is on the UNAS Pro. 24TB Exos drives. It’s a base model Mac Mini with a 1Gb connection. I can stream MASSIVE bitrate movies to my Apple TV with no issues whatsoever. Your plan will work.

MacBook Neo is 499$ (US) for students and K-12

the m4 mac mini was $399 for a few months at microcenter, you had to buy it in-store but probably the best deal in computing ever
