Almost bought it and lucky I didn't press the checkout button lol. But maximum 16GB ram is possibly a deal breaker for me... probably will get the intel version instead

Mac Mini serves a specific market and user group I guess: first time mac user, companies that run mac servers (?), users who don't like all-in-one-computer and those who prefer to use own monitors and peripherals...

Ohh...there has been a change of status. Apple is preparing to ship the order already. My experience with Apple Store is that they will arrive plus minus one day from their promise date. Not sure if we are getting the Made in Malaysia version.
*
They only updated 3 days before the estimated date? Mine is 28 Dec... Guess I'll have to wait until next week sweat.gif

Anyone experience blurry text when connect Mac mini to external monitor? The text is like pixelated and not smooth. Using my Acer X34p monitor 3440x1440 resolution.

What cable are you using?

Maybe you should try Type-C to DisplayPort instead of HDMI...

Yeah just ordered one.

I'm using mine with two 27" 2560x1440 screens... one using USB-C to DisplayPort and one using HDMI... both also ok.
Also tested with a single 1440p at 144hz, both HDMI and DisplayPort also can reach 144hz

Your monitor is using HDMI 2.0 right?

Mine is using HDMI 1.4. And the maximum refresh rate just 50hz @ 3440 x 1440
*
Yup my monitor comes with HDMI 2.0 port...
