QUOTE(toytoy @ Apr 21 2021, 11:33 AM) Ya I also cannot live without windows. Currently still using my old laptop. Parallels with Windows 10 Arm version is working quite well already with the latest update. Now hopefully major windows apps can support ARM ASAP.  QUOTE(ionStorm @ May 3 2021, 04:13 PM) Run a hypervisor host and remote into it! parallel now support M1 so u can setup Windows VM |

QUOTE(westlife @ May 3 2021, 04:29 PM) Not the same. It is an arm-based Technical previews and not the full license version. And it can only run arm-based windows applications which are very limited now too. yeah...yeah...always forget m1 is arm.best is rdp into windows which is availableIt cannot run x386 applications. |

QUOTE(clement5949 @ Jun 12 2021, 09:11 PM) I am fine to have external drive. Mostly I store things in the cloud. But just the ram part, I dunno I enough or not. Basically my usage is browser with around 10 tabs, Apple Music, Microsoft word and Microsoft excel on. I believe 8gb is more than enough right? i been using 8gb with 256gb + nvme ssd on MacBook pro & mac mini m1 (same spec) for daily work and video recording and editing. so far no issue.unless you are very heavy video editing, then go for 16GB. it is up to you . For me, since using MacBook pro for 3 years with that spec & did not encounter any issue, so I get mac mini m1 (8gb, 256gb). Of coz mac mini is faster coz 8 core vs dual core.  |

QUOTE(bem69 @ Jun 12 2021, 10:20 PM) Is there any advantage having a 512gb internal ssd compared to 256gb + external ssd? What use case would be that you would need something bigger than 256gb internally? don't see why need internal 512GB. Might as well dump to external nvme or ssd external |

QUOTE(Mavik @ Oct 20 2021, 11:52 AM) If I was Apple, I wouldn't release them in November. I would probably wait for the next quarter because profits from Christmas shopping is always bolstered by the phones and now the new Macs. The quarter after is always a dip, so if I were Apple, I would plan out certain products to be launched then prop it up. M1 mac mini launched last year nov 2020. but high chance they wont release new release for mac mini every year |
