For anyone who just got the i7 mini - how does it handle audio production? More specifically, I use a lot of virtual instruments (NI Komplete 12, stock Logic Inst, others) and do some fairly heavy mixing too. Most of my projects rarely exceed 100 tracks, but I need a Mac that can handle a fair... -

Customizations are too expensive?
8 -> 16 GB RAM and 128 -> 512 GB SSD makes it $600 more expensive. A 512 GB NVMe SSD just doesn't cost $400 these days. Besides, why even use NVMe when a SATA SSD would be good enough for mac mini? I guess the only way to save money here is to get the 128 GB model and then use a SATA SSD with a... -

So Apple just released the new Mac Mini. I want to run Plex Media Server on it. Additionally, I'd like to play movies from this same mac mini (with Plex media player) directly to my 4k UHD HDR TV (in HDR). The easy option would be via HDMI. At Apple's event earlier today they mentioned the new... -
