thank you for the update. I was thinking to pick up one at TRX next Wed coz making a business trip to KL next week. But seems like it will not available in Apple Store yet so early. Bought it online instead.

i think this is not Thunderbolt 4 but it's USB 4? I thought TB4 not the same as USB4?

I am kind of confused too actually.

mine also custom config with 512GB storage and 10Gbps ethernet, expected arrival is 17 Dec. How about yours?

wow... nice.... fingercross the display will be sharp with my LG ultrawide monitor.

finally got my custom Mac Mini shipped from ShenZhen China, stranded in DHL KL warehouse for 1 whole day.

Set it up in office and actually using it to post this now. Just want to say the text is quite crisp at default resolution with my 34" 1440p ultrawide Dell office monitor. Those HDPI requirement is really just marketing gimmick.

I think almost all Apple products for SEA is made in China. I increase storage to 512Gb and add 10Gbps ethernet.


when did you get yours? what's your added ingredient?

very nice indeed.

waiting for the "right-sided" version to 3d print myself one later.


you sure got 2.5gbps version? i only see default 1gbps and option of 10gbps at Apple MY store.

Anyone can recommend a power cable for the mac mini? where to buy one? Just normal power cable (it looks very similar to the power cable of my tv at home)?

Want to buy 1 extra one at office then I dun need to bring the original power cable with the mac when I bring it with me to office and back home daily.

Yes, for the cable, i just cabut my Samsung TV power cord and tried it with my mac mini, no issue at all. So i just order 1 from Shopee.

Care to share what "some reason" you have in mind or from your past experience?

Fo me, the MFi thingy era is already past. Now moving into era of USB-C, with the EU pressing hard on universal standard, dun think it is relevant now. I can now use a generic (Ugreen) USB-C hub for my Samsung phone, my ipad mini 7 and my mac mini, all works flawlessly. The thunderbolt 4 USB enclosure i used on mac mini is also universal specs, made by Ugreen.

Why not just order online since it will just take few days to deliver? Just bought an Ipad Pro yesterday to replace my 7 years old unit, ordered online too becoz of the education pricing. Delivery expected within a week.

wow... quite a long lead time, meaning the Mac Mini M4 is in high demand.

I dun think they will stop production if there is no ready stock, especially now even base specs unit also out of stock. The Mac Mini M4 really appeal to many new users, including myself. It is my first ever Mac, although i do have a MacBook Air some time back. Its capability and affordable price really a no-brainer for anyone looking to buy a general use daily desktop, excluding for gaming of course.

thanks a lot for the tip on vmware. Now i can run some windows app in the Mac Mini. It might turn out to be a good "mobile" office desktop for me.

hi, bro, do you know the way to change/fix the screen resolution to say FHD? My VMware session now is always set at 1024 x 768. I want to set it to at least 1920x1080. If I stretch the windows, it will just resize but no change in resolution. Windows remote desktop got a place to fix the remote session at specify resolution. Can't find the same for this VMware.

Thanks in advance.

thanks, bro. Will try that later.
