Great! Just a day or two more wink.gif btw anyone got the extended applecare or recommend to get it for mac mini? Macbook has more moving parts like keyboards, hinge or parts like screens but mac mini overall just a piece of board and a fan right?

My life is more better now with Mac mini + 4K TV, lol.

But then 8GB RAM seems "just" sufficient for normal use, with few safari and chrome tab open, it already consume 5.5GB.

Anyway I don't mind for that, as long as the system still fast enough.

I'm running chrome, capture 23, already 11-13gb πŸ˜…

Added a 1 tb SSD NVME drive plugged into the usb-c for expansion.

Glad yours arrived safely! What specific setup do you use for the nvme and the enclosure? I'm thinking to do something similar

I got the PNY CS1031 M.2 NVMe with 1tb and an Orico M.2 usb3.1 enclosures. Budget friendly. 🀭

Not sure in the future will get those enclosure that can place under or top of the mini like this brand hagibis.
This will expand ports and have sdcard readers as well.

Ahh, orico m.2 enclosure has been in my shopping cart since last year πŸ˜‚

Mine also havent arrived. Ordered at the first day available at apple online. Spec M2 base 16 GB and 512GB. The eta also changes last week currently at 17-23 March.. If one month need to wait, this is GG already…

That's weird, i have the same spec and order a few days after it was available at apple online and already arrived.

Don't know why people love to use Chrome. I stick to safari, open 20 tabs also no issue or lag
