Here’s what I’ll say to those posting $400–500 Windows laptops with 16/512GB and shouting that it’s a better deal…

Yup. For anyone looking for a laptop at this price point, Windows should never be a consideration. The Neo will be perfect for students and casual users who just want to browse webpages and take video calls while having something compact, sturdy and colorful to use. Also, no fans, right? Meaning it

Parents iMac M1 broke down - what would you do?

Take it to a very reputable repair store that specializes in microsoldering. I guess the quote of 850€ is from apple for a swap cause its imposible it costs that for a soldering repair. I dont know what exactly happens to the board as you didnt specify but im very sure if it doesnt boot its just a v

2013 Mac Pro -> 2019 Mac Pro

For your work, I don’t think it’s worth getting an Intel Mac anymore. The only merit to the 2019 Mac Pro is its upgradability and expansion capabilities, but Lightroom doesn’t exactly benefit from that. A Mac mini with the M4 Pro chip would be about the same or even beat it in Lightroom while being

New NAS product pages are up!

M4 Mac Mini on Amazon is $499. Add the UNAS Pro for another $499. You've got a more powerful compute module with more bays available in a rack-mount setup for less than the Synology RS822+.

Is it realistic to use a Mac mini as a “portable” (carrying in a backpack + daily plugging/unplugging)?

I mean that many plug/unplug actions is less than ideal, but I can't say if it will actively harm the mini. If it's shut down each time I don't think there would be any risk involved. One idea would may be to never actually unplug the power cable from the mini (maybe get a very short one), and then

Do you regret getting a Mac mini ?

No I have an M4 mini. It's just such good value. Plus, no battery to degrade / replace. The only downside is I can't use it on the sofa like a MacBook - which is probably a good thing as I just veg watching media - but I have a phone I use currently. I may pick up an iPad (with the money I saved get

Im about to trade my M1pro MBP 16GB/1TB for an M4 24GB/2TB Mac Mini, i almost always use external displays anyways, and i think is a great device.

What's the best monitor for Mac Mini M4 as of 2026 that people recommend the most?

I have 2 Dell S2725QC for my M4 Mac mini and they’re great. Best budget monitor for the Mac in my opinion. It’s 27” 4K with 120hz refresh rate and USB-C connectivity with decent built in speakers too! Apple's Studio Display is “the best” for Mac if you want to spend that much.
