eh...now with latest ipados and macOS, need app? With usb c connected between both and some setting on display set on mac and ipad, already can mirror/extend screen. condition is must login in to macOS first before can use

in your dream. they can pre-order now and get on 8. we not yet pass sirim and no pre-order yet.
u can see from ipad mini. why other country available but MY not yet

right time before xmas...lol

best time to order case, pencil, screen protector first on 11-11

only intel model can do. m1 onward cannot

i use external 2tb nvme. work great for few years

why u want to do that?
my m1 256gb storage - store OS and app
External nvme 2TB - store data

Work as expected and 256GB can survive for 3 years+ without any issue. By doing this, original storage seldom do writing as only store OS and App. More read/write is on my external nvme. This increase the life span of storage also

it not direct replace with other nvme. so too high risk to replace it.

been running base model m1 since 4 years ago. no problem
With m4, i will be huge jump
M1-> M4
8GB -> 16GB RAM
Storage - same. not an issue as i got nvme 2TB
More ports USB C
2 monitor -> 3 monitor
Big size -> small size

Will trade in when it is available

Jan - Dec only

i just checked at Switch store. according to them, they dont accept trade in for mac mini. Therefore if you would like to do trade in, may be can try TRX, Machine or online. May be some can advise if possible to trade in at TRX or machine?

Machine also don’t have the list for Mac mini. So mean the only choice is go trx and apple online

wait for sirim to pass first. No pass, no stock. It going to take 1 month since sg just available online

MY availability won't be so fast. SG delivery date now
05/12/2024 - 12/12/2024
Currently physical store not available

i doubt so. SG now delay delivery till 9- 16 dec. So MY unit, should be same time or later
You can order online but delivery highly push back due to high demand. Quite impossible for them to priority order from MY

Trx also dont accept trade in for mac mini and iMac. according to them, these devices can only trade in from online. initially thought want to trade in and get gift card but after checked their system mentioning cannot.
well at least now i know the process and do it when online available

Microsoft tried before using their Windows RT with arm and failed miserablely. Thought arm is dead, But then Apple come to the rescue and released M1. Did not expect it run well on their own chip & OS ,then continue to expand till M4.

Moving away from using Intel seem to be correct way.

Now apple seem to be in better position especially saw what they tried to do with ram increased to 16GB on all models [thanks to AI].

This year i feel apple really nail it with correct strategy on M4 Mac mini. Even ipad move to 128GB storage compare to previous 64GB.

Internal storage 256gb more than enough. I have survived 4 years. I just add on 2tb nvme
Waste of money to upgrade internal storage. Besides trade in value is only higher when base model rather than upgrade.

Ram bump to 16gb memory is great for normal use.
Last time my m1 run 8gb and 256gb can do video editing as well
