Thanks for the input rickyro & kevinpss. Turns out all I needed to do was just rebooted the mac mini. Even my logitech mx master 3 scrolling now works.

Loving this product. Fully migrated from my Macbook Pro 2014 and unfortunately, I found out the battery there is bloated. 😱

yeah... M1 has a bit of stiffed up moment sometimes just like any computer needing restarts occasionally..

i did repair my 2012 rmbp battery 2 years back, used 3rd party battery, the repair was worth it, even though i plugged it in most of the time...

Yeah, that's kinda strange for me a a mac user, guess I got to get used to that restart thing. If something doesn't work, most often than not, it just needs a restart.

I need to get a battery replacement too. The Macbook is still working good except for a sketchy USB port.

Hi,

Im looking for a glass/acrylic stand like this? Anyone seen something can fit the Mac Mini M1 dimensions?

https://www.amazon.com/JOKItech-Computer-Co...P3WDMTA3GZY8ZR9

Something like this (which is out of stock)

The ones in Shopee / Lazada are too big

these are too small and will impede airflow to your mac mini

Yeah the ones I searched on Shopee or Lazada as well have enough space for a keyboard.

But I would take a larger one so I could also slot other things next to the Mac Mini as well.

Hi,

I finally go ahead and order a Mac Mini M1 basic model 8/256. Will be testing out Parallels with Windows 10 for Arms first because I have to run Sage UBS accounting on this once in a while. Hopefully, it will run. Other than this it is just normal office stuff like Office stuff, email, browsing and some download here and there. For now, will hook it up to my existing 23" FHD monitor later maybe upgrade to a slightly larger 4K monitor.

Anyone tried Parallels with Windows 10 for Arms. Would be great if I could get some review.

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

Thought of buying Mac mini M1 8/256 for my mini home entertainment to connect to my big LED tv.

Will Mac mini M1 runs chrome smoothly? Will always using Astro Go, and other movie streaming websites.

Do i need to install anti virus / firewall on Mac mini? Because some of the movie streaming websites have hidden malicious malwares.
