If you are interested in Mac Mini, I believe you are not using it as your main productivity machine? If you have requirements for performance, you should choose other ones such as MacBook Pro, Studio. If you just want experience MacOS. 2079 is worth of it and the SSD doesn't affect you much.

nah, just casual use

QUOTE(tcwan @ Feb 25 2023, 12:52 PM)
Made in Malaysia is not a disadvantage. I don't think our manufacturing quality is an issue.

Recommendation is to go for the 16 GB RAM 512 GB SSD model, unless you are just doing basic web/email/office stuff.
That is the config that I'm planning on getting.

512 GB SSD has better performance than the 256 GB model. 16 GB RAM allows for some graphics work as well as ability to drive 2 4K monitors with enough RAM to run other programs comfortably. If you're looking at video editing, then the M2 Pro is probably better suited?

I plan to get 256/16 as many people said ram cannot upgrade but storage just add external ssd

What's wrong with made in Malaysia?  doh.gif

nothing, just curious about the quality

It is. But they mentioned there is this compliance risk things need to meet. I don’t care what it is. I just ordered my mini from apple and if they shipped it from China and have this issue, is their issue.
I just replied to them to take next necessary action if they deliver the mini or just cancel and refund me.
I not giving any ID document to stranger.

But then last time (many years already) my MacBook Pro and iMac also ship from Shanghai (vis Shenzhen) did not ask for any document to confirm.

Only those thing purchase with Amazon, even the import tax has been paid, kastam still need my detail together with SIRIM approval (cost me RM75 to 95 depend on thing), else the thing will stuck in shipping company and there is a delay charges after 10 days if no clearance has been made, RM10 per day. It is SF Express, ship from USA to Malaysia.

I think it is subjective to check parcel, syiok syiok see 1 parcel then check. Because some item from Japan Amazon, it will not ask anything, 1 time from USA also not ask, only recently 2 item it need this and that. 1 is SF Express, 1 is DHL Express
