Just wondering if all of you ordered your Mac Mini from Apple's official page? Been looking around resellers' websites, all out of stock.

Yeah, I ordered from Apple website on Jan 13. At that time Machines still had 8/512 in stock. The rest all oos.

I just managed to get mine (basic specs) from TMT in midvalley. This thing is blazing fast!

Do you remember how much was it during shocking sale?

I don’t really remember but I bought 1 at RM63.

Finally received my Mac Mini (base model) yesterday heh heh. Really blazing fast this thing.

Just a thought, do you guys usually leave it plugged in to Sleep at night? Or would you turn off the switch?

I know with Macbooks, it’s usually better to leave them to Sleep overnight but not sure with Mac Mini 😂😅

Just let them go to sleep that is fine. If you want to save power then turn it off, doesn't really matter anyway since the startup/loadup is so fast!

I shut mine down at night and scheduled it to startup in the morning.

Has anyone purchased Apple's Pro Apps Bundle for Education before?

At which stage of the process, did you receive the redemption codes?



My order has changed to Shipped but I have not received any email.

Update: Received the codes this morning.

Sleep is fine. Don't leave plugged in. In fact, don't leave any devices with batteries plugged in. It will take a toll on your batteries.

whats the diff between plugged in vs sleep ?

Haha. Sorry. I didn't realize I was in the Mac Mini thread. I thought I was in the Mac Air thread.

It's fine. You can leave it plugged in.

Sleep vs Shutdown = just how fast you get back to work I guess

i cant seem to find a way to force my mac mini to output via USB C /thunderbolt.

What did you output to? Monitor with USB C input? if yes, what is the monitor model?

1) Which external monitor are you connecting to? What is the model number?
2) What sort of USB-C cable are you using? Are you using the cable that comes with the monitor or are you using just any USB-C cable?
3) Have you tested the USB-C cable and monitor on another device? Does it work through there?

I have tested a work unit via USB-C with my BenQ EX2780Q monitor as well as with my Macbook Pro M1 and Macbook Air M1 and it all works fine.

Woww... you really went all-in with the M1 chip eh?

No, only the MBA is mine. The rest belongs to the office (test unit to ensure that office applications are able to run on it).

What is this testing nonsense. ALL OR NOTHING! YOLOOOOOOOO!

Cooler Master 34" ultrawide monitor

1) Cooler Master 34" ultrawide monitor
2 ) I bought a USB - Displayport from shopee. works well and output 144hz at ultrawide resolution
3) Yes

So my macmini (usb c - displayport) m1 shares the same display with my lenovo notebook ( hdmi). i realised that whenever i turn on my macmini, the display will not output to the monitor and the monitor will say no signal, go to sleep. I have to turn off, unplug and plug the cable back in order for the mac mini to display to the monitor.

thinking this was my monitor issue, i tried using the same usb c to displayport on my lenovo thinkpad on the same monitor and it works without any problems.


so i dont think it's my cable or monitor issue.

LOL, that can be a million dollar mistake
