    Base Mac Mini M1 model for video editing?

    This is my first time dipping in to buying a Mac, though I've been an iPhone user for a while. How good is the base 8GB RAM model Mac Mini M1 for video editing and audio editing? I've heard lots of good things, but the 8GB of RAM is a little concerning. The 256GB SDD doesn't bother me as I...

    Dell P2419H Resolution Issue: Clear with Windows; Fuzzy/Pixelated with Mac.

    It's either that the monitor doesn't play well with Macs or it's user error (maybe don't use an HDMI cable?). My work laptop is a Dell Latitude 7490. Nothing special. I bought 3 Dell P2419H monitors a few months back on Amazon (for work from home). When I'm using the work laptop (HDMI from the...
