Hi,

Using Mac Mini M1 base model.
Would like to ask if with new Monterey update does it now support FreeSync.
Thinking of getting the Xiaomi 34" Gaming monitor.

Thanks.

So I assume this is the base model then. Ordered from Machines.com.my? I am planning to get from Apple/my because want the 16Gb version.

I ordered from apple.com . Yes is base machine. Base machine is pretty much more powerful than my Windows desktop liao.

I'm using office 365 and downloaded from microsoft, it's universal already meaning support natively for M1 and also intel.

Check out Rectangle. Free and open-source app. Very useful once you learn the keyboard shortcuts.

Thanks. Will take a look.

Probably when will got new Mac Mini with M2 or M1 Max?
*
Don't see it being upgraded again for a while. The next M1 Pro or Max line up will probably go to iMac Pro first.. Mac Mini will stay as cheapest mac appel can offer.

Hi All,

I am looking to change my Dell XPS 15 to Mac Mini, mainly for photo and video editing, but not too sure is M1 16gb sufficient or not... no budget for the mac studio sad.gif

16GB would be sufficient. I am ono 8GB but it's hitting the limit. Other apps needed to close to run photoshop smoothly. I do simple editing on final cut as well but recently been using Luma Fusion to edit video faster since I'm using it on iPad Air as well. No issue and works flawlessly.
