QUOTE(carpathia @ Jan 13 2021, 11:25 AM) Is it good ? i heard the transfer speed for the ports and hd is quite slow which was why i didnt buy one but i desperately need to find a proper usb solution. need to plug in SD Card, USB Mic, keyboard, etc As I mentioned, is good for normal storage usage like documents and others, if you want to use it like fast transfer data, get the external nvm storage and a good thunderbolt 4 hub like OWC.

Hi guys, just got my Mac mini few days ago. Right now I’m using it with an external monitor (S2721QS) and I realised in the display setting I don’t have the option to adjust the resolution and refresh rate. also when I enable HDR the black are more grey and colours are pretty bland but it is all good when HdR is disabled. From “System Information” -> Graphics/Display “Resolution”: 3840 x 2160 and “UI looks like” 1920 x 1080 @60hz
I’m using hdmi to hdmi, and I believe the is 1.4 hdmi cable. Anyone with such issue?

QUOTE(paan_halim @ Jan 13 2021, 09:39 PM) Just ordered custom build mac mini m1 from apple malaysia website using public bank debit last week. The status on public bank still unposted. Usually how long will it take for the bank to clear the transfer? Really need it asap for my work. Ordered mine too on Jan 13 but my credit card was not charged. There was just this RM0 transaction when I placed the order. Update: What a coincidence. Right after I wrote the above, I went to check and my credit card has been charged for the Mac Mini. Also received SMS for the charges. This post has been edited by soonwai: Jan 14 2021, 05:50 PM

I ordered 16/256 as I plan to use a Thunderbolt 3 enclosure with either 1 or 2TB SSD. Haven't decided which SSD to buy yet.
