Any problem with WIFI or Bluetooth? There are many cases saying Bluetooth connection keep disconnect.

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.

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

When you use Chrome, do you experience the resolution or colour on chrome looks kinda off.

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

Original HDMI cable from Acer X34P. The HDMI port on the monitor is 1.4 though.

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
