    Mac Mini with old school Thunderbolt Display?

    Does anybody have an experience using a modern Mac with the latest version of macOS with one of the old 27-inch Thunderbolt displays? I've read comments on this forum about text not looking great on low-ppi displays. I'm in the market for a Mac Mini (casual photo editing, Keynote, and...

    M1 mini - which cable for 2nd monitor?

    I just received my second 24" monitor, a Dell refurbished 4K. THEN I ran into a problem. I've only got one HDMI port on M1 mini rear - and using an HDMI to USB-C cable for my second monitor I get nothing but a black screen and an error message. I get a floating 'No DP Cable - this display will...

    M2/16GB/1tb or M2pro/16GB/512gb for 4k video editing

    Hello. Some told me that for 4k video editing, always better to have a larger internal stoarge. With my budget, I will be buying Mac mini with either M2/16GB/1tb or M2pro/16GB/512gb. Which will be better for my use? Thanks in advance.

    New Mac Studio M2 Max price hike?

    The new Mac Mini M2 Pro with 32Gb/1TB costs more than $2200 now, more than the Mac Studio M1 Max with the same 32GB memory and 1TB storage. I guess Mac Studio M2 Max may start at $2999, $1000 more expensive.

    Should I buy the new M2 Mac Mini (2023) with upgraded 16GB unified memory, or an upgraded 512GB storage capacity?

    I am seriously considering buying the new Mac Mini (2023) with the standard M2 chipset. However, as a student (using the discount), I can not afford to upgrade all the way. I am capable of affording only one upgrade which I would very much like. The following are the options: I can upgrade the...

    M2 Pro Mini with 8k TV?

    So, do you think it will be possible for an M2 Pro Mac Mini to drive an 8k TV at its native resolution and use it as a display? Also, it it likely that Apple will produce an 8k monitor? 8k at 40 inches would be 220 ppi, that is, exactly the same same ppi as the iMac 5k (27”), 4k (21.5”), and...

    Devious marketing of M2

    Some sneaky marketing on Apple's part... This article points out that they're comparing the M2 Mac Mini to an older computer (2 generations back) and claiming it's 5x faster than this "bestselling PC." That's pretty devious. How does it compare to a current gen Intel CPU of a similar price...

    Cursor jumping and skipping around MacOS

    My cursor just jumps around after mid-movement like every 10s. It isn't much, but say on a 13" screen, if I move fast, it can jump 5cm. I use a Mac Mini M1 and Logitech G Pro wireless & MagicMouse (they both have the same issue). I disabled the mouse sharing with my iPad, just in case that...

    Anyone planning on getting a Mac Mini anytime soon (before the M2)?

    Hi everyone, I’ve been wanting to get a Mac Mini for a few months now. I DON’T NEED it (have an intel Macbook Pro), but would like a stationary set up while I keep my MacBook Pro elsewhere. Anyway, I’m wondering if anyone is planning on getting a Mac Mini soon, instead of waiting for the M2...

    Connecting Mac mini to Mac Pro

    Hello. I recently had to get a new Mac mini for some work projects. My beloved 2009 Mac Pro 5,1 is still my workhorse for music production, which is also part of my work. The MP has about 10 drives connected (internal & external USB - mechanical & SSD - some of these are for backups) and is...

    Difficult decision: Should I try to "refurbish" my own MacBook Pro?

    Hi everyone, I'm kind of in a special situation. I've got a late 2016 MacBook Pro 15" with the most expensive specs (back then) which is still serving me well. However, I've quit my (gamedev-)job recently to pursue creating games on my own. For this, I am going to live off of my savings for at...

    Windows Registry Editor : Disable BootCamp Apple Software Updates

    Nobody’s Talking About the M2 Mac Mini

    With Gurman and others expecting new Macs as early as this month, a lot of attention has been focused towards the updated M2 Pro and M2 Max chips. These will undeniably be the showstoppers of any possible event (or press releases), but I have a suspicion that if the Mac Mini is getting an...

    Mac Mini M1 and 2 x Dell U32Q19 - YPbPr issues

    Hi there, I recently got 2 x Dell U32Q19 and decided to hook them up to my Mac Mini M1 using USB-C to USB-C and HDMI to HDMI. At first it looked quite alright, however I noticed that the one connected with HDM seemed a bit more flurry. I figured that the input color format of the monitor was...
