Hi! I decided to buy a new 2018 Mac Mini with Intel Core i5 processor and 8GB of RAM. I want to have at least 16GB RAM so I will add my own. I noticed that Mac Mini has at default 2X4GB RAM-cofiguration. Will it be okay if I add 1X16GB DDR4-2666 memory module so I could have 20GB total? I'm...

Has anyone ordered a mini from a reseller (like Adorama or B&H) and recieved their mini? What is the typical shipping times for BTO configurations? I purchased a BTO i7 mini from Adorama on Nov 11th. They have told me they drop-shipped the order directly from Apple, and will update tracking...

There seems to be some recurring confusion in the forums regarding the three CPU options available for the 2018 Mini. The Mini can be configured with: i3-8100B: - 4 cores (4 threads) - 6MiB L3 cache - 2.4GHz DRAM - Max clock speed 3.6GHz - Max iGPU clock speed 1.1GHz i5-8500B: - 6 cores (6...

I have a problem with my latest Mac Mini 2018. After the shutdown the display settings are lost and the icons and fonts are really large. The display attached is a 4k screen (DELL P2715Q) and I'm using a USB-C to Displayport mini adapter to convert the signal. Anyone else experiencing this?

Hi there, I recently sold my Windows i5 GTX 970 gaming desktop which i used lately only for streaming Plex and casual use. But i was always sold on the Mac Mini and with the refresh i'm finally buying one, but i'm wondering which one. What it's priority is: - Plex 4K streaming My former pc...

For anyone who just got the i7 mini - how does it handle audio production? More specifically, I use a lot of virtual instruments (NI Komplete 12, stock Logic Inst, others) and do some fairly heavy mixing too. Most of my projects rarely exceed 100 tracks, but I need a Mac that can handle a fair...

As a lifetime Windows user, I've slowly been migrating to Apple (iPhone and a company issued 2017 MBP). However, for the majority of my work, I use my PC to this day. My more intensive work is Lightroom and Photoshop. Aside from that, it's the typical browsing, watching movies etc. I've been...

I just ordered the new Mac mini and went for the standard 8GB version. I plan to buy 32GB 2666 MHZ DDR4 RAM and then got asked what PIN count I wanted, with 240 and 260 being options. Any thoughts as to which it should be? Your thoughts on brand would be very helpful too! UPDATE: 10/11/18 I...

I saw this on the Apple October 2018 event and was curious if this is the old Apple Thunderbolt Display. Can you tell me?

8 -> 16 GB RAM and 128 -> 512 GB SSD makes it $600 more expensive. A 512 GB NVMe SSD just doesn't cost $400 these days. Besides, why even use NVMe when a SATA SSD would be good enough for mac mini? I guess the only way to save money here is to get the 128 GB model and then use a SATA SSD with a...

I'm finally looking to trade-in my 2015 iMac Retina 5K for 2018 Mac Mini, trying to decide between i5 vs i7 for my needs. My current iMac configuration is 4.0GHz quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 4.2GHz 32GB 1867MHz DDR3 SDRAM, 1TB Flash Storage AMD Radeon R9 M395X with 4GB video...

Wasn't sure where to put this post as it's iMac and Mac Mini related... Like many I was hoping to pick up an updated iMac today. Now looking at a couple options and would appreciate some advice. I'm not nearly as savvy with this stuff as most of you seem to be. I use my computer almost...

So Apple just released the new Mac Mini. I want to run Plex Media Server on it. Additionally, I'd like to play movies from this same mac mini (with Plex media player) directly to my 4k UHD HDR TV (in HDR). The easy option would be via HDMI. At Apple's event earlier today they mentioned the new...

The HEVC capabilities due to the T2 chip seem awesome. Would the new mac mini + good internet = direct play for people outside my network if they also have good internet? Thanksss!
