    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...

    Pushing an Early Intel Macs limit: can a mid-2011 Mac mini’s Sandy Bridge CPU be upgraded to a higher spec SB CPU?

    If we’re ever going to bring in slightly newer early Intel Macs, the Sandy Bridge Core iX series — which were sold alongside late C2D Macs — ought to be fair game. :) I’ve spent an unhealthy bit of time poring over the Intel page labelled, “Products formerly Sandy Bridge” and looking over chip...

    Mac Mini 2006, keep it as 1,1 or upgrade to 2,1

    Hi all, this is quite a silly question but to improve the thread I am including some pictures of what one would say it's a brand new 2006 Mac Mini which is really the interesting part of this post.

    Mystery Mouse Appearing in Bluetooth Menu of Mac Mini after Wipe and Fresh Install

    Just got a used Mac Mini. When I got it, the seller had set up a dummy account. I booted into recovery, erased the physical disk (which contained two Macintosh HD-data drives), and then reinstalled Big Sir. I believe this should be sufficient for a complete wipe and reinstall. However, under...

    Keep 2018 mini or get MBP

    Hi all, I have a 2018(2020?) Intel Mac Mini i5 with 32gb ram. It does everything I need, and hardly ever hangs. If it does it’s usually the app itself that hangs. It’s been a fine setup since I’ve been working from home since I purchased it. However, with things calming down in my country...
