    Is Mac Mini 70-80° CPU Proximity temperature is high?

    I bought a second-hand Mac Mini (5,2) for Plex. CPU Proximity temperature often raises above 70°-80° (when copying files). Should I be worried / consider returning the Mac Mini? Or is it in the normal threshold (meaning I can probably use it for a couple of years to come).

    Can a 2009 Apple Cinema Display Model A1081 be connected to a new Mac Mini (or even an older one)? I have the display and am looking into getting the Mini. I assume (or hope) there as an adapter, but just don’t know. Let me know if more info on the Display is needed. thanks, JG

    Mac Mini M1 or new 24" iMac?

    My new Mac Mini came the same day as they released the new colorful iMacs. I have to admit I'm a sucker for all the colors, but now I'm not sure if I should return the Mac Mini and get the 24" iMac, ugh!!! Coming from a 2012 27" iMac, the monitor I bought to go with the mac Mini is so...

    What to Replace 2015 MBP with?

    My mbp has the 2.5 quad-core i7, 16gb of ram, and 2gb AMD R9. I don’t quite understand the new M1. People are raving over it, and that excitement is great, but I don’t know how to compare that to more traditional hardware. Is a Mac Mini M1 an all around upgrade for me? I was about to buy a 5k...

    Unacceptably terrible bluetooth performance.

    I know this is a known (and apparently longtime) issue, so I'm just adding my voice to the chorus. My M1 Mac mini was returned yesterday due to the unacceptably poor wireless mouse and keyboard performance. I feel bad for anyone getting their first Mac + Magic Keyboard & Magic Mouse thinking the...
