We have three conference rooms in our office. In all three, there's a Mini wall-mounted behind the TV it feeds into. Everything looks great, but you have to be very close to the TV for the Bluetooth mouse & keyboard (both Apple) to work. We tried an IOGEAR GBU521 USB Bluetooth adapter...

My daughter looking to do video production in college on an Apple. Will be using Adobe Premiere. Wondering if I will be better off getting her a Mac mini late 2012 with an i7 chip or purchasing the 2018 model? I've found a late 2012 on Craigslist with a 2.3 ghz quad core intel i7, 16 GB of Ram...

I have a 2012 QC mini, which works just fine for me. I am looking at the 2018 Minis and wonder what is so good about them being miniature. It's like the Mini is a solution in search of a problem. It's not as if my desk is so limited in size that I can't fit a slightly larger Mini on it. I don't...

I am looking at purchasing a used Mac Mini that can run the latest (Mojave) as my next computer, but I have heard and seen online that the aluminium unibody Mac minis all have an issue with overheating. They get extremely hot when put on load and the heat can be felt through the aluminum casing...

In looking at the specs of the 2018 mini, I notice the absence of optical audio. I use optical to connect my current mini to the stereo and would hate to lose it. Yes, i could use HDMI, but my TV panel doesn't have ARC, so I can't drive it as a monitor AND have audio at the same time. :(...
