    M1 Mac Mini DisplayS Issues

    Morning all. This is a bit of a long shot Q, but I have to ask for my own piece of mind. I bought an M1 Mini June 2021, so it was one of the early ones. I paired it initially with a Dell 3221QS curved 4k monitor. Not brilliant but OK. Over the year, I lost my Music Library (Corrupted file...

    Dealing with 128gb on a 2018 Mini

    Hi All - A few years ago I found an amazing deal on a 2018 base model Mini and I bought it (like, REALLY good deal).

    Hi, I’m getting into video editing and I’d like to buy a 4k monitor but I understand these are problematic on Macs due to the issues with scaling. Is it true that fonts look way too small on the screens? I’m pretty old and now have to wear glasses and I peer at monitors even now. I was...
