QUOTE(jonthebaptist @ Dec 11 2024, 09:03 PM) any recommendations what to buy for the mac mini m4 since its 12.12? Guys today is 12.12, can recommend any other accessories?like: usb-c to usb a adapter 2.5G or 5Gbps ethernet adapter SSD storage any advise would be appreciated. I got myself this 5GbE adapter, it's not 10GbE but okay la for RM60++ ![]() I'm looking for any suggestions that go well with Mac Mini M4. Note: in my experience these adapter's when overheat will shut down, so maybe buying internal 10Gigabit ethernet still better and paying the Apple premium.

QUOTE(jonthebaptist @ Dec 12 2024, 12:07 PM) The Mac mini by itself already perfect, like I see you all want to use ssd as home folder or buy casing, for me it will make the Mac mini less useful. Not much troublesome to move the external SSD as well. But will mostly use as a desktop. If move a lot around, can create another account which uses internal storage home folder.Now I can hook it up to monitor, or quickly move it around and hook it up with TV - that's the beauty of this machine, it's like a "compute stick" or Chromecast where you can just plug and play. |

Just question on external storage, once you pair the storage to work with mac mini, what would happen if you plug your external storage to window? can detect but not able to open? |

No as different file system. Unless you format as exfat for data onlyThis post has been edited by ericlaiys: Dec 12 2024, 03:14 PM |

I am not quite sure about this. Not sure if you can see the files, but if you want your external to work in both windows and mac you need to use EXFat format. I know mac can read NTSF but cannot write to it. I would guess windows can read apple file system but cannot write also. But seeing it’s apple. There’s also high chance that they don’t allow other system to read it at all. shyan90's liked this post

QUOTE(thankyou @ Dec 12 2024, 02:05 PM) this one damn expensive. although look damn nice la. but there is a cheaper aluminium version that’s around RM130 vs this around RM500 early bird. Of course the cheapest is 3D printed around RM40 which my friend already helped me print. Will use for a while see see if I like it. Cheap can for fun. If really like the look and don’t mind the space it takes, might go for a cheaper permanent one with aluminium. thankyou liked this post

finally postman is here to pick up my m1. Unit will send to Bukit Jelutong. Now wait for confirmation to complete the trade in. Asked the postman. according to them no drop off. So what they did is 1. Put into white envelope which little protection. Lucky I wrap with extra bubble wrap 2. then put into big brown box 3. seal it with pos sticker. 4. Wrap with final plastic & put address sticker. get one confirmation letter. Step 1-4 : Postman will take picture entire process to prove that unit are safely send jonthebaptist liked this post

When shopping for cables to connect the mini to a monitor, what are the specs I should be watching out for?
I bought this and it flat out doesn't work. https://shopee.com.my/20Gbps-USB-3.2-Gen-2-...862.14783595574 This post has been edited by hellfried: Dec 12 2024, 08:25 PM |

QUOTE(hellfried @ Dec 12 2024, 08:18 PM) When shopping for cables to connect the mini to a monitor, what are the specs I should be watching out for? The 2 front port only up to 10Gbps while the 3 at the back you need at least TB3 and preferably TB4. The link you share is not very suitable for mini as non of the ports give you USB 3 20 Gbps.I bought this and it flat out doesn't work. https://shopee.com.my/20Gbps-USB-3.2-Gen-2-...862.14783595574 Update : Wasn't aware you asked about monitor. I bought a type c to DP for myself, for type c to type c I thought any c to c cable should work? This post has been edited by muman7: Dec 12 2024, 09:00 PM |
