Years ago i left a comment saying you look and sound like Ross from friends and you replied to it saying I’m not the 1st to say that lol. I think this was in your early RU-vid days, where you had less than 10,000 subscribers. I randomly came across your video today as I put the M2 Mac mini last night. I’m actually so glad to see that you stuck it out and you now have over half a million subscribers. Well done, keep up the hard work, you’re doing really good!

i need your advice. my 2018 MacBook Pro laptop has 16 GB memory it works fine on start, but after a couple hours of being active, I'll have to keep refreshing the webpage to keep it active (I'm a trader). checked the RAM, checked the active monitor and the used memory always stays around 12.50. making the fan scream. however, i have a 4k extended monitor connected to it. I'm thinking of switching to Mac Mini or Mac Studio. but considering the prices, i don't want to spend like 4k on the studio and find out I don't really need it. hence I'm getting 2 more monitors, making it 3. So I can code on one and trade on 2 monitors. should I go for a 32 GB or 64 GB memory Mac? I don't want a situation where I'll have to upgrade again after some months?

@@eniolamelody6415 If you are a trader, 32GB of memory is more than sufficient. My recommendation is to save the 460 euros of the additional 32GB, (that is in Europe).

I bought the base model for my business. I’m using it for adobe illustrator, and light burn. I also bought a iPad Pro because I said if my Mac mini can’t handle illustrator I can use the iPad Pro for illustrator and transfer the pdf to the Mac mini to print to light burn. The Mac mini has more than exceeded my expectations this thing is powerful. So now I just use the iPad to draw my vectors or improve some customers logo. I would say this also always try to get Ram for longevity but if you are looking to save don’t worry this Mac can handle it

Another great video, thanks! I too used to think the Apple ecosystem was highly overrated. But a about 5 years ago I started to make the transition to Apple land when the space gray 2018 Intel mini came out, more out of curiosity than anything else. The release of the M1 Macs sealed the deal.

@@eniolamelody6415 What you're describing sounds more like a heat throttling problem than a RAM problem. I would check out the base M2 Studio Max ($2k) or even a refurbished M1 Studio Max (but not the Ultra). Both come with 32GB of unified memory and 512GB of storage, and it sounds like they might fit your use case. This is just a suggestion, I encourage you to do some research.

I've had nothing but problems with the m2 mini base model and it's USB support. Hubs just don't play nice and I am assuming you need a specific one which plays ball with apples I/O infrastructure and drivers. Incredibly frustrating and it's made me plan a move back to Windows since it's only going to be used for music.

Will the M2 mac mini base model still work? I still have my 2015 mbp 15 and the fan noise is driving me nuts lately, i’ve had it for 8 years on clamshell mode hence i don’t really see me buying another laptop anytime soon. Thanks and Great Video as always! :)

@TechGearTalk Год назад

Thank you for the kind words. Technically - yes - you can get by with the base model. My only thought is this - you clearly keep your devices for as long as possible and get the most value out of them. If you see yourself doing that again, it may be worth considering going with 16GB of unified memory. Also, check how much storage you're using up on your MBP and make sure that you have enough for anything you transfer (if you plan on doing that) - plus what you may need in the future. If it's really only viewing content online - 256GB will definitely work. Hope that helps.

Yeah I opted for the higher memory options and stuck with 256GB to keep costs down. I have external thunderbolt SSDs which fills the gap. In video editing you want external drives anyhow. One drawback was the fact it would only output ypbpr to some monitors so I had to use an external adapter.

@RetroMario Год назад

Did pretty much the same. I do sweat about the apps but anything else can be done off of an external SSD. Even some programs like DaVinci Resolve can be configured to make proxies or other temporary files in different directories. Also, yes the 256GB is slower than the M1 offering but it's barely noticeable if you're not running a benchmark or looking side-by-side comparisons. Also, the 16GB RAM and up are saving your system from having to use swaps, trashing the read/write cycles of your SSD. So, if you're stuck between the choice of either choosing higher unified memory or higher storage capacity, absolutely go for memory.

I just bought an M2 mini and out of the box my Samsung 32 inch smart Tv flickered and artifacted. I switched from HDMI to thunderbolt and still problems... I fiddled with TV settings and it finally stopped. I was using the same Tv with my 2015 MacBook Air with no issues. Though it works fine now... the experience with this and my last MacBook with the defective butterfly keyboard is testing my loyalty. My Macs from 1998 to 20010 ran like a champ for many years. I question the QA in recents products.

IT IS DISGRACEFULLY BAD with memory management....CONSTANT bluetooth disconnections. NOT ONE youtuber has mentioned ANY OF THESE ISSUES!

@jaspinderbabbu959 10 месяцев назад

What issue with bad memory management? Will you explain it properly.

@boredgrass Год назад

Malfunctioning wifi and Bluetooth: That is the only concern keeping me back! Have both been solved? I don't want to pay 700 to 1400 bucks to spend my time with "solving bad connections"...

@TechGearTalk Год назад

I have not had any issues with mine. I do use a unifying receiver with my Logitech mouse.

Don’t forget that usb sucks for drives as there are a lot of transmission errors all the time which can lead eventually to data corruption .. but the storage you need or better buy a real computer

The base model m2 Mac mini is a great deal. It becomes a progressively worse deal as you increase the ram, processor, and storage. Definitely buy it with a student discount.

@nissan_skyline Год назад

If you're increasing RAM, processor and storage on a Mac Mini you should just buy a Mac Studio at that point.

@youtubewatcher4603 Год назад

@@nissan_skyline Or get a Windows computer at that point.

@@nissan_skyline Why? The op hasn't said what they are using the Mini for, a studio is probably out or reach as is a M2 Pro Mini. And I wish my student son would have a Unidays account. He refused my request as he dosent need it, rather I'm not giving him the current offer of a £100 Apple Giftcard, which I could use towards a new iPhone.

Been a windows user for 20 years , Bought Mac mini m2 a week ago to give it a try as I don't game on pc anymore after switching to Xbox series x + ps5 and only use Pc for work and entertainment . I don't noticed anything superior yet that was not available on windows. Overall a 6 out of 10. Probably a heaven only for RU-vidrs

All macs are NOT UPGRADABLE!

@TechGearTalk Год назад

Yes. All Apple custom silicon macs/MacBooks are not upgradable. That point was not a differentiation between macs - but between upgradable and “unupgradable” desktop. Hope that clears it up.
