Questions & Answers

Is there an easy way to make er for this Mac Mini?

It is a question if you are using an HDMI port and a power source.

Can I seal the package sealed and will it include Garageband?

A sealed shipment must be opened before it can be forwarded, so I received it by mistake. Apple provides Garageband for free download from the App Store.

How does this work, have the 8 core CPU and 8 core gpu?

It is true, as the Apple Store reports that it's got an 8 out of 10. CPU, core, and memory: eight cores. This core GPU should hold approximately the same power as a 16-GPU GPU. An engine based on the principles of neural computation.

Do I have any need for item in the r my soon?

What are your reasons for it not being used? Is it your son and his abilities?? A family member can benefit completely from this computer with no trouble.

The machine is remarkably quiet and powerful
5/5

My M1 Mac Mini is my all-time favorite. The 16GB configuration was ordered to use as my video editor, but the baby runs very smoothly. There is something more fulfilling about this book. Having owned MACs from a very young age, there are several MACs I have accumulated on an array. I think this computer is the best one in my opinion. This sleek, lightweight unit does not take up much space at the desk. There might be one major catch, if at all, which is that there are no USB ports that other devices might need. The only display port is that I do not use (that is why I don't. An USB 3. 0 is included in one of the external ports on my monitor. The power supply can accept up to one USB 4 port and up to two Thunderbolt 2 ports (this can be used for HDMI connections on monitors and TVs). There are two USB ports on this keyboard. A ports. 10/100/1000 Mbps network with integrated 800GHz CMOS filter. The 11ax wireless network provides wireless coverage in 42 countries. Having Bluetooth 5 would be fantastic. One of the built versions uses a clock speed of 0. 5mm jack. In the present time, when I am planning a vacation with my Mac Mini M1, I need to connect high-capacity external drives as well as peripherals but I am not able to fulfill all of my desires. In short, I ordered a 14-inch OWC TV set. It was designed for the Thunderbolt dock 3. In addition to providing enough ports for a MiniSD card reader along with a MicroSD card reader, the dock ensures my Mac Mini M1 remains as true to its original design. I use one Thunderbolt cable to power up my Mac Mini with the OWC 14 over the HDMI connection. The Mac Mini M1 dock and all the data it connected to it are now connected from the docks to the Macs. For that reason, I use the Mac Mini's ports in a backpack. OWC 14- Compatible with Mac Mini M1, the port works well.

There is no other product that will perform as well for your money as this one
5/5

This is just for producing Music for myself. I purchased this since it's a great chip and it's equipped with 16 GB of RAM. Even though the 16GB m1 chip performs better, I think it would be essential if you were going to perform a variety of tasks or plugins this time.

I love this computer!! This computer has a great new M1 chip
5/5

Their research paid off for Apple. Combined with Adobe Creative Suite and C4D, I run 3D animations and most of my graphics are done through Redshift. There have been no crashes, all the apps have loads amazingly fast, and I have seen this thing work extremely well with native code C4D, Redshift, and Photoshop. After Effects, and all other apps running exactly how they should. Even though they are not yet native M code, the situation will only get better as all apps start running correctly when all are on native M code. Excellent choice of a cute and sturdy little beast.

The 16GB RAM model has been operating for two months now, so I feel like it is now time to turn off my old PC
5/5

Your Apple Genius and Apple will never allow the consumer to gouge the earth by charging them something that isn't true. If you are a server management professional, you should go with the 16GB rvice, flat out tell you as an IT professional to go for the 16gb ram model and skip the 8gb model. Due to its unified memory memory, the Mac M1 Mini (and other Mac 1 products) aren't among the few computers with a separate pool for graphics. In other words, if all your apps or whatever it is doing graphically compete for a particular portion of memory, the hardware does not behave well. By using programs built using Rosetta as well, RAM usage increases. Having Apple offload memory to hard drives can be as simple as swapping data between drives, as is the case with Linux. But A. Due to this, your computer is slower and more sensitive. You will die a lot of the time due to this computer. Long story short: Definitely an excellent machine. But be careful not to spend your money on the 8GB ram. The 16GB Ram model is available at this price point.

This would be the first desktop Mac that doesn't perform well or cost a lot
5/5

My recommendation is to go with a compact package that gives you great performance. We really like this system because it's quiet, hot, and has no fan noise. For example, if you already use a keyboard or mouse and you didn't get the iMac M1 this summer, then a purchase of an all-in-one may be much more feasible. In addition, some people have noticed a lot of write to the serial port, which can shorten the life of the port. Apparently, one way to avoid this is to use native Arm64 (M1) rather than running older non-optimized programs that run through rosetta 2 which are often You'll also get the 16 GB with the device. It will also be helpful to have a model on hand.

With the Mac Mini M1 Rocket, you can run with your Mini laptop
5/5

Having put my settings together with this Mac Mini, I'm thrilled with the performance. In order to utilize the fast lightning channel, I secured the inclusion of a Thunderbolt 4 hub. my 250 GB interval SSD drive I installed an external externally tuned 1 TB SSDs. I use that for storing all my data I want fast. Using a wide screen monitor purchased from Walmart I was able to install a thunderbolt. Beautiful, indeed. This second monitor uses HDMI as well. In addition to time, USB 3s that I partitioned for the Time Machine as well as storage at the back and in my laptop are 5 TB. A USB microphone and a camera were added to the setup. A computer of this type has more space for my graphics cards and runs as smoothly as my old iMac. so nice to know they will launch the programs soon.

The experience was great
5/5

MacMini was brand new as promised, and its specifications were clearly outlined. "It worked without a problem, so that's what I said. This is an Apple product. If your monitor can handle more than 60 hertz, don't make the settings higher than 69 hertz if your Mac Mini can still handle it. do not work, the same monitor should be connected through a different input port. The MacMini can only kick up a 60Hz limit. Your screen should disappear instantly. As I connected the HDMI cable to the Mac, it worked normally, however once I changed the settings to 75hetz, the screen went black. Basically, there had to be an USB type C/dvi adapter for this connection. A 40GHz network connection was needed as the monitor failed, so I then connected the hdmi cable there via HDMI and turned on the display power. It is not Apple nor the vendor that causes a user error.

I purchased a new computer and that was the best one I ever owned
5/5

It's awesome to have a Mac Mini M1. Whenever I have bought a computer, this is the one I have used. Video opens very quickly. There are so many options in it. Using an all-inclusive video format at full speed. The problem of opening multiple windows and apps has not been an issue. With the same capabilities and for only a few minutes, that litte spinning wheel has also come on for no more than a few seconds. Neither Bluetooth nor any external hard drive has affected performance in a C-Series computer. Port hub located at more ports, by the way. A studio recording with Surround Sound gets superb sound. as I have become so accustomed to doing things. Now, even when I just want a break, I have to go back and complete some other tasks while taking in many new ones. With AWESOME on our side, they will send a 16g RAM to my assistant.
