Anyone have used Astropad's luna display with their mac mini? My plan is to get the new M4 mac mini and then use my 2020 intel imac as the main display.

Are you planning buy the M4 Mac Mini? If yes why not keep the satechi dock, more ports is always better.

Thinking of switching to Mac mini M4 from PC. However, I've been reading that Mac OS will not look good on our normal 27" 1080p and 2K resolution monitors correct?

When they gonna release this mac mini in malaysia?
Im planning to buy the base model 16/256 for my study in web development.
Mainly will be used for learning TypeScript/NodeJs.

Will this base mac mini m4 be adequate for my usage?

Yes i'm planning to get the m4 Mac mini.

Satechi dock has issue with losing power all the time causing ssd to removed abruptly. This issue since M1 mac mini.. even still persist on m2 mac mini. I already didn't use it for many months after getting another adapter with m.2 slot, hdmi output and power with usb so it won't lose connection because lack of power. The dock size also made for old mac mini design anyway. It won't sit nicely with the m4 mac mini.

Will be possible to play games in say high settings?

M4 max might be able to.

What kind of games are you talking about?

You probably can expect iPad/iPhone level games for now, but we probably going to see some AAA Games seeing how powerful the spec of the M4 is and how cheap Apple made the new Mac mini M4.

There are few AAA games available already.

You can also compare it with iPad Pro M4 gameplay of Assassin's Creed Mirage.

Seeing how M3 already can perform quite good, M4 should handle it even better. Also 8GB vs 16 GB ram helps a lot with the FPS as well.

Yes this is probably the beginning of AAA gaming on the Mac. This Mac Mini M4 probably cheaper then the next PlayStation/Xbox/Nintendo.

For anyone wondering how to use iPad as a display for Mac mini: https://www.arzopa.com/blogs/how-to/ipad-as...or-for-mac-mini

not very demanding ones, diablo 4, CS go

Since those games are not ported, you will need to install it through apple’s game porting toolkit 2. That will reduce some performance and not sure how it will work with online games also because of anti cheat.

Looks quite promising on M2 Max which M4 is more powerful than it. Online works too.
