Mac Mini 8/512.
Experience so far overall positive, with the following issues:
- Crashplan was ridiculously slow under Rosetta, but not a big deal as I replaced it with Backblaze which is cheaper and faster
- Google Drive/Backup And Sync doesn't work at all, replaced with Dropbox
- Docker: I am currently using a remote Docker engine with a cheap VPS to work and it's OK (
I wrote about it in case anyone is interested)
- Before installing the latest beta I had a couple of kernel panics which seemed to be related to HDMI
- At the moment I have a single display connected to HDMI, an old Acer 1080p. The display works fine but when the Mini wakes from sleep, sometimes it takes time for the display to wake up as well or I have to disconnect the cable, power the display off and on etc. This seems to happen even if I disable the sleep for the computer. As long as the display goes to sleep, the problem occurs. I will receive a new display from BenQ in a couple of days and I will be using that as primary connected to USB-C/Thunderbolt. I hope I won't have to disconnect both displays too often....
- I regret that I went with 8GB of RAM. Sometimes I have high memory pressure resulting in a general slow down for a while until it recovers. I wish I had gone with half the storage but 16GB of RAM
Luckily 95% or more of the time it's OK and I don't have any issues.
- I have a Canon printer/scanner (TS5000 series) and for some reason when I click on "open scanner" in System Preferences nothing happens. It doesn't open the usual dialog with the scanner stuff. For now I am using a Canon utility which lets me scan documents but with poor quality despite i select high DPI. I haven't found a better alternative to this yet.
One problem I am surprised I am not having at all is Bluetooth issues. I have an older Magic keyboard and mouse and they work well, never had any issues with them so far.
