mac mini 2018

Hi all, I installed yesterday a new samsung ssd x5 (i want to use it for the install files of the gaming). I noted that in windows the external ssd is very slowly. 400 mb/s writing 1900 mb/s reading. In mac os I have about 2000 mb/s in writing and 2600 mb/s in reading. The driver is...

I know there have been several posts about eGPU usage on here, but I wanted to specifically mention Adobe performance with an eGPU since there's not a a ton of information out there (at least I couldn't find much specific to the 2018 mini and adobe). My Specs: MM 2018 i7 32gb RAM 512GB SSD...

My parents recently upgraded from an eMac to the Mac Mini. On the eMac I had setup 3 accounts. An admin account, then 1 account for my mom and another for my dad. Their personal accounts didn't require login passwords, which is what they want on the Mac Mini. However, going thru the Security &...

My parents have an old eMac running 10.4.11. No Time Machine. Can't update OS. They just bought a Mac Mini and I'm trying to use the migration assistant to transfer their apps/files, but the migration assistant on both can't seem to find each other. I assume they're doing it over the WiFi or...

Hey, everyone! I have the 2018 Mac Mini, and I noticed as I was cleaning today that it has a small scratch on the recycled black plastic cover on the bottom of the device. Do you think this is something I should be concerned about? I do have Apple Care for the device, and it is still under the...

In 2007 I purchased a Mac Mini which has worked fine. I updated it once and it has the Lion OS 10.7.5. Due to its "elderly" OS I need to buy a new Mini so I can use this years Tax software. I use the Mini soley for writing, reading the news and an occasional jaunt into You Tube. Should I buy the...

I've never traded-in a Mac. Usually they die or go to a family member. However this time around, I want to trade-in my late 2014 iMac towards a Mac Mini. I know the process involves them sending me a shipping label & supplies to ship it out. Has anyone done this? Estimated time to get those...

using a Samsung 1080 TV as my monitor and a foldable bluetooth keyboard. surprisingly I love the keyboard and have no plans on upgrading to a larger one! its compact and the key travel is pretty satisfying compared to the newer chicklet style keys. connected to surround sound as well so I am...

Hello every one ! I spent hours and hours to get this working but no luck :/ i have an ultra wide SAMSUNG monitor with a max resolution 3440 * 1440 and 100Hz In windows, i easily can select this resolution and scale the ui by 150% so every thing look very good and crisp. In Mac, when i...

Hi, This is what I currently have - MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012) Non-retina Processor - 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 Memory - 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Graphics - Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB Storage - 256GB SSD (External 500GB HD) I'm a graphic designer who uses programmes such as Adobe Illustrator...

This will be my first Mac ever, and I'm wanting in on the Apple ecosystem and try MacOS. I currently have the XR. Will be using for typical internet usage, and photo editing in Adobe Lightroom CC and/or Classic, or Iridient, or some other. (I own a Fujifilm XT-1). Also as a way to seriously...

Currently have iMac mid-2011 (w 16GB RAM). Thinking of finally upgrading to mac mini. Got a couple of questions. Not a power user. Safari, MS Office and Quicken are what I usually spend my time in but they are usually all open at once. Not a gamer. Occasionally will use Photoshop Elements...

So I've been roaming these forums more often recently, due to my late 2014 iMac 5K (27-inch, maxed RAM, i7) overheating + being interested in the 2018 Mac Mini. Due to me having said iMac repaired before for hardware issues, I was under the assumption the issues were just coming back and with it...

Thanks so much for all interesting posts here about the new mac mini and eGPUs, esp. to F-Train. But still I can’t decide if I should buy a new mac mini (with an eGPU) or wait for the next mac pro. I’m still working on a Mac Pro from 2006 - Dual Core Intel Xeon 3Ghz, 18 RAM with a Radeon HD...

I want to migrate back to MacOS. I had a MBA 2011 and replaced it with Microsoft Surface Pro 4 2016. It's portable, but now I'm usually working in one place and find the Surface buggy. Plus, it's struggling to keep up (I think it's the 4GB RAM). Anyway, as I don't want to spend €2000 for a...

Today I finally upgraded my Mac Mini to the new 2018 version. I have used a Mac Mini as entertainment center connected to my TV for years, and amongst other things, I run Kodi on it. I control Kodi, and the rest of my entertainment setup, using a Logitech Harmony remote... So, imagine my...

I've made threads elsewhere on MacRumors asking about the Mac Mini about if I should invest in it or wait to see what the Mac Pro has to offer. Pretty much decided I should just get the Mac Mini. Question is though, my current desktop is a late 2014 iMac 5K with 32 GB RAM. Can't recall other...

Not sure if this is the right place for this topic but I recently got my mac mini 2018, i7 and also bought an eGPU (Razer Core X with a Radeon Rx 580). Very happy so far, no issues at all. Running super stable since more than 3 weeks now...so far so good. :) Now, while MacOS seems to be more...

Hi all... I am looking at upgrading my old 2012 Mac Mini and replacing my VERY old Mac Cinema displays. I was wondering if anyone here has had any experience with using a 4k UHD TV as a display on the new Mac Mini. I largely work in Photoshop and Lightroom and run two monitors right now and I...

Hi there! It turns out keeping a 2009 Mac Pro running can be a lot of busy work (as 25 pages of people who can't read instructions will attest)- especially since I have a Geforce 1080 and modern NVIDIA cards are no-go in Mojave until further notice. So I figured it'd be a good time to get the...
