    New Mac mini Noise Considerations

    I have a 2012 base Mac mini that I use for internet and email and in six years of use I have never heard any fan or other noise coming from this computer. I'm now going to purchase a new mini and I want it to be equally silent--everything else is of secondary importance. In configuring my new...

    Mac Mini 2018 - daisy chaining question (for a newbie)

    Apple mentioned briefly yesterday that multiple Mac Minis could be daisy chained together. I'm not clear on what exactly this means... does it mean that you can essentially create a 12 or 18 core setup acting like one computer, with 2-3x the RAM if you buy 2 or 3 of them? To clarify... I am in...

    mac mini 2018 Power consumption

    Hi all, Apple hasn't updated their page on power consumption (yet). https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201897 One great thing about the mac mini 2014 was that it had very low idle consumption - which made it perfect for a small server setup. Can we already speculate what the power consumption...

    Did you order anything today?

    I ordered a new iPad Pro 10" 128GB in Space Grey. I used to have the 12.9 iPad Pro but found it too big. I already have a 15" Mac Book Pro 2018 TB so I don't need another big device to carry. I also want to use the iPad with my Mavic Pro 2... If it fits... Let me know what/if you ordered today...

    New Mac mini is the new Mac Pro

    Apple showcased (in today's keynote) several instances of Mac minis being stacked for improved performance and intense workloads.

    Mac Mini and display mirroring

    Maybe a silly question but I ve read at some point the display mirroring beetween imacs and minis, for example, were disable recently - possibly due OSX or imac configuration specs. I see the new 6 core mini (at 1099) as a good upgrading option pairing with my 2012 27" imac screen. Does the...
