    MP 1,1-5,1 Multi-HDD Setup like a Mac Pro for a Mac Mini

    Hello everyone, My Mac Pro 4,1>5,1 was down yesterday after updating to Venture 13.7.2 using OCLP 2.2.0. I have a 2018 Mac Mini sitting in a drawer—I got it in 2021 to use in an office at a job from which I was fired in 2022. It's just been sitting there. . . Can someone recommend an external...

    M4 Mac Mini - Thunderbolt PCIE Expansion

    Has anyone set up their M4/M4 Pro Mac Mini with a PCIe expansion bay like the OWC Mercury Helios 3S or Startech 2TBT3? If so how easy was it to set up? Any headaches with PCIe cards over Thunderbolt? I have my Mac Mini coming in a couple of weeks and originally was considering the OWC 1M2 or...

    My Solution to Power Buttongate

    I don't actually hate it. I would almost think the mini runs more efficiently. Heat rises, right?

    This Mac Has Been Locked With Find My Mac… but not by me!

    One of my Mac Minis is showing a lockscreen with a passcode input, and says ‘This Mac has been locked by Find My Mac’. I didn’t lock it, and I don’t know who did. I don’t know what passcode it wants, and the web address listed — icloud.com/find — is no help at all. I have tried booting into...

    Monitor advice

    I’ve realized that I might have to spend more than $100 to have a decent monitor, but I don’t want to spend a ton because I don’t plan for my future Mac Mini to be my main source of screen time. So, I’ve got three that I’m currently looking at. This Asus, this AOC or this LG. I’m also still...

    The correct orientation of the Mac Mini

    Ok, clickbaity title aside, setting the Mac Mini up like this raised my wifi strength from under 60 % to 93 % and extended my Bluetooth range from a spotty 1 m to rock solid whole room coverage. It runs noticeably cooler and I have easy access to all the ports and the power button. This is a...

    M4 Pro Mac mini v. Future M4 Max Mac Studio

    The M4 Mac mini looks like a true bargain but the M4 Pro Mac mini seems like it will compare poorly against the future M4 Mac Studio for those who want more memory and can wait a few months. Apple has been holding the line on prices and doubling memory on the base models. With this in mind: *...

    M1 vs M4 cost wise

    Hello everyone, I need some buying advice. After a week of making offers and such on eBay, I've finally found a seller who will work with me. I have the option of a M1 Mac Mini 8gb/256gb for $275. The storage isn't a concern for me but I would prefer 16gb, I just can't find any deals within my...

    How can I "order" a Mac Mini with upgraded ram in the US as a visiting European?

    I'm gonna travel to Orlando/Miami in April 2025 and planning on buying a new Mac Mini there. But looking at Best Buy for example all of their Minis are standard. I want the M4 Pro with 48gb ram. How do I get my hands on that? I can't order without a US adress, and since i'm gonna be over there...

    Base Mac Mini vs iMac 10-core: Can you beat the All in One?:

    Hello! I am curious to know - what peripherals would you buy to add to a M4 mac mini that would create a package that would be cheaper but just as good quality, than the 10-core M4 iMac? Or maybe peripherals that add up to about the same price as the iMac, but better quality. Is this possible...

    Upgrade to M4 Pro Mac mini from M2 Max Mac Studio?

    Hi! I currently have an M2 Max Studio (32GB RAM, 1TB storage). It's way overpowered for my needs (I basically do text editing, watch videos on YouTube, very light and infrequent video editing, 842,49 GB available in my hard drive... you get the idea). Now, I was wondering if it would be a good...

    Windows 10 is rough, I'm kind of regretting this.

    Still running my 2017 MacBook Pro with Monterey, but sadly my 2012 Mac Mini died on me this past February. Which was my main desktop for work. But it was getting long in the tooth anyway and I need to replace it. For years I've been thinking about just building another PC. I used to build them...
