Tempting because of 16GB base. edu price 2069 which I can get. How much do you think I can sell my M2 base Mac Mini? Would be great to run 13B LLM.

I think sell at facebook marketplace at least better price than trade in. Since I'm not in peninsula also, no apple store here. Only can get EDU from apple.com and not from Switch. =p

Will try to sell my M2 based Mac Mini around 1600-1800.. which I bought at edu price too.. Any idea when will available in Malaysia base on previous mac mini m2 after US launched?

256GB. Not sure. Can try only lo. My M1 last time year July sell 1700 like that la. lol...

i've used it before. You can try few ways, use a card capture dongle and app. But that would be quite bulky dock hanging out.

Another way is to use DUET app. I used the duet app and latency is fine. It work with ipad magic keyboard to use as keyboard and mouse. Only 1 usb C cable from ipad to mac mini.

will try to look into that, i think duet also need to login as I remember i disable login for that purpose.

i am using it now again after a long time haven't use it. It works really well or even better now. I had some issues with the magic keyboard on my ipad last time. The issue was the delete key not functioning. Now it works fine. It's worth investing in magic keyboard if you're on ipad air/ ipad pro. since you don't need to carry extra keyboard or mouse.

yes I bought the app but only for wired connection. if you want wireless I think need subscribe or a different price for it.

i think that was sidecar right? If you don't have a main display, it's difficult to set your ipad as a second screen. I've thought about it before and don't think the solution was worth it. Buying the duet app was more simpler.

damn. i wish here will launch soon. it should as there are only macbook air, mac studio and mac pro can buy right now at apple.com.

for that small size, i doubt they will have swappable ssd. Everything will be soldered.

wondering should i list my mac mini for sale now and wait for new mac mini release...

since i still can use pc or ipad with external monitor..

switch is seller their m2 at 2069... damn it..


how much did you sell yours?

I'll list it 1950 with Satechi Dock going alone. Let ppl nego nego siok la.. let's see.

listed on FB marketplace, within couple hours sold liao my mac mini… 1800 i include satechi dock which i tried selling for so months and unable to sell.. bundle it seems more attractive deal.

Yeah. Meanwhile back to Windows or ipad connect to external monitor. I hope latest by Dec will release la..

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.

M4 max might be able to.

What kind of games are you talking about?

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.

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.

yeah. that’s the problem with apple. Every upgrade is $200. This is like their standard price. I’d rather get 2 mac mini than upgrade it like that.

why so cheap.. but need deposit 900.. 5 stars lagi tu.. don’t know real review or not. i wouldn’t risk 1900 for it.

Surprisingly many items are a lot cheaper. Really wonder what lubang he use to get those cheap items. But it’s kinda weird that mostly u need to wait weeks to 2 months. Macam sus… I mean they not scam you. sus how they get their hands on the item.

But this does not mean it's easy to swap isnt it? Didn't they lock the ssd or something with the mac studio?
