Placed order for base model yesterday, 19/12.

Looks like I'll be receiving my unit by afternoon today. Any updates from anyone of you who bought directly from Apple Store online?

Got it already .. .glad to see dhl van ...

mek mini with 16 jigawatt and 512 jiggabyte

Received and setting up now. Interesting that even though there are reports that some Mac Minis were assembled in Malaysia, the unit that I got was assembled in China. Faced a bluetooth problem out of the box- it didn't recognise my Magic Mouse. However, I luckily have a Magic Trackpad nearby and it connected via bluetooth without any problems.

Installing the software that I need for work (Microsoft Office, Microsoft Teams, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, Slack, etc) now and will report back on the experience.

Just got my unit too.

pro motion display ... woot

Hey man did this work with any random cable? I can’t seem to get Mine to work with my DisplayPort to usbC cable

Oof. So the bluetooth problem is real, please test more and let us know.

Okay, almost finish setting up the machine. Observations so far:-

1. Bluetooth:
I currently have 3 devices connected to the Mac Mini, a Keycrhon K2 keyboard, a Magic Trackpad and Magic Mouse. I was having a problem with Magic Mouse in the beginning when I was setting up (the setup recognised Trackpad but not Mouse even though I toggled the power on-and-off on those devices). However, after post setting up, I tried from Bluetooth Devices in Systems Preferences and my mouse showed up. So far, after 3 hours or running (and waking up), my devices are still connected.

2. DAC:
Internal speakers for Mac mini sucks (as expected). Instead of using the headphone jack, I connected the machine via USB to an Anker USB dongle and then into an external DAC. Toggling the sound output to the DAC yielded really good results. Of course, do remember to change the configuration to the sample rate that you want via Audio Midi Setup

3. External Monitor:
Connected directly via HDMI to my 27" Dell 4K monitor. I must say that it looks brilliant! Previously, I had a MacBook Pro connected via the Anker dongle to the monitor. I noticed that colours were crisper and refresh rate was faster (don't know how that happened).

4. Software:
Been running a mix of Apple M1 native and Intel apps. Microsoft Office is available as native M1 already (but Microsoft Teams and One Drive still Intel). Chrome is native M1. Adobe apps are still Intel. So is Slack, Tidal, LastPass and WhatsApp. But the reviewers were spot on when they said that there is no noticeable difference in the performance of the app whether if they are native M1 or Intel. Keyword is noticeable in terms of how they behave on the UI level.

5. Memory Usage:
Here is where the 16GB really came in handy as I didn't expect memory usage to be so much. The system used up 11.95GB of my 16GB RAM when I was setting up. Some Intel apps are memory hoggers. Have a look at my activity monitor screen shot. (Even this Lowyat forum tab on Safari took up 365MB of my RAM).



6. Performance:
Wow. It's true. My workflow is that I like to create multiple virtual desktops and group my browsers, apps depending on the "theme" of the work (eg. one desktop for communications/conference apps, one for e-mail and work docs, one for general web research and exploration, one for YouTube and music). I struggled to them properly on my 2018 MacBook Pro and it would take noticeable seconds before windows would scale up and down. Usually the content in the windows will have to refresh when that happens. On the Mac mini M1, everything was buttery smooth. YouTube videos kept playing without skipping when I move from Desktop to Desktop. In fact, I barely notice the machine struggling at all.

So, it's still early days but really happy with the performance so far!
