You are right, i have the same issue. My scenario is even worse, the screen doesnt come out at all even if I plug/unplug the Usb C port.
I have no idea what to do, only HDMI-HDMI cable works for me but I have to use min two monitors. Meanwhile my Mac Mini Intel version doesnt have any problem at all using same USB C - DP cables and same monitors.
Ok, I thought it was only me with the problem of no display during boot up using USB C to DP cable. My cable is UGREEN ... Pretty expensive rm80 and can give me highest resolution and refresh rate.

From the other forums it seems like cable problem. I reported the problem to seller and he refunded. So now I m using HDMI to the DELL as my primary display and DP cable to another 1080p monitor as secondary display.
Would you please clarify if you are using USB C - DP and USB C - HDMI or USB C - DP and HDMI - HDMI?
To the best of my knowledge Mac Mini M1 has issue to use both USB C as monitors' output, unless we use docking station which can connect up to 6 monitors if i am not mistaken.
Currently i am using USB C - DP and HDMI - HDMI and they are working fine but I may need third monitor.
Hdmi to hdmi is ok but USB C to DP is where most of us are facing problems. Initially I thought it was my cable but after buying a more expensive version, still same old shit.
Ok I have another problem...my Chrome crashed after 40-50min using it and it happened twice (yesterday and today). If you guys happened to experience the same issue, let me know how to solve it.
Mine is 16 G. I installed Dark Reader, Secure Shell and Super Easy Auto Refresh on Mac Mini Intel. After moving to Mac Mini M1 and sync'ed the Chrome, the Super Easy Auto Refresh had gone and I installed Easy Auto Refresh.
same 16g model and i dont have issue. i suspect it's one of your plugin
Am deciding between macbook air and mac mini+ipad combo. It seems that Mac mini+ipad setup is better choice due to my table has limited width. I want a setup that ipad/macbook air as secondary screen and place in front of monitor.
Question: Do you get a battery/UPS? In case there is no electricity? Before COVID, I travel oversea once a month. Anybody has experience travelling with mac mini? Definitely travelling with macbook is more convenient, but mac mini isn't that bad to travel with right? As long as there is monitor and socket standby at other site.
Travelling with Mac Mini ? why la....
UPS - you should always get one to protect your equipment and work. It's not meant for you to work for hours.
I am thinking to buy an UPS as well, what you guys are using? I am planning to buy APC 1400, what do you guys think? I am not very familiar with UPS things but I think it is very important.
APC is solid brand. Go for it.

need meh....just shutdown the mac.
UPS is not only for backup in case of power failure but also provide stable electric current to your device so it lasts longer also.
just to take note those cheap line interactive UPS does not provide stable current to your device, only those expensive online UPS does
Yup. if your life depends on your work, i can't recommend getting a proper UPS. You might say, aiyah, save in the cloud, never mind.... later only to find out your laptop/pc also kaput
I also using dell s2721qs. It is really a good budget 4k monitor. A bit tired when looking at the screen.
what's your screen refresh rate ? 27" is kinda small bro... i recommend upping to 34" at least

Hi sifus, just wanted to check - is the Mac Mini M1 [2020] a good choice as a desktop? I already have a Lenovo Y7000 as a personal laptop but that's mainly for light gaming [Football Manager with no graphics/Match highlight settings turned on]. Just that the moment I load several leagues up [> 5 leagues], the laptop fan starts to have very loud noise and slows down considerably.
I have read some pretty good reviews on the M1 Mac Mini and was wondering if it would be a good investment? I already have a monitor, keyboard etc at home which is basically plug and play so should I take the plunge or continue to hold out for a better PC?
iMac is a bit out of my budget at the moment though.
if you ask me 2 years ago, i would say no but with the new M1 apple chip, it's damn good value for money
Ordered another Mac mini 16/256 a few days ago. Processing was very fast. 26/5 - 1am Ordered (ETA: 09/06 - 11/06) 26/5 - 6am Card Charged 27/5 - Preparing to Ship 27/5 - Shipped (ETA: 8/6) 28/5 - E-Invoice Received but no updates to DHL tracking (Previous 2 orders, I received the E-Invoice the day before delivery.)
Bro..... new mac mini with m1x chip is coming soon!! why you didnt wait!!
This monitor is 1440p? How is the text clarity on this monitor?
Yes 1440p, text clarity is sharp but most importantly the colours are very vibrant without being overly saturated like samsung. Check reviews, generally very positive, even from tomshardware
