While I really like the new Mac mini's size, I miss the ports of the previous Mac mini. I am currently running a M2 Pro and I have 4 USB-C and 2 USB-A ports. Say what you will but USB-A is still useful to me - I still have many USB-A peripherals - Sound Blaster Katana X speakers, Stream Deck, printer, fingerprint key. Sure, I can use a hub but sometimes, it is just so convenience to have it on the computer itself.

QUOTE(yvliew @ Jan 4 2025, 11:41 AM) USB A ports I only use for keyboard mouse, but that is through a hub. Now after upgrading, I use a USB C dock with 2 USB A and USB C port along with HDMI, sd card. Works great though only 10gbps. But I do lose 1 thunderbolt port. Only using 1 usb 4 device so still ok. Once you connect 3 monitors into it, you will find that you don't have enough. Unless the monitor comes with a hub. Then maybe, still ok. |
