I’m brand new here…so I apologize if I’m not savvy to the forum.
I have never owned a Mac, but I’ve been using iPhones/Pads since 2009. I have Mac experience doing graphics work, but that dates back to 1999 and earlier…and in the 1980s when I used to hack the school IIE’s in BASIC.
Anyway, I want to get a new computer, and the M4 Mini looks to be everything that I need at a reasonable cost. I am thinking of getting the base model, but upgrading to 512GB internal, as 256 seems almost useless for a primary rig.
I still use mechanical HDs for my backups, and I have about 6TB that I would like to move to NVMe or SSD. Speed isn’t super important, but I do still record multitrack audio, so it matters to some degree.
Is there a good dock or similar device for the new M4 Mini yet? I found this on Amazon, but it has no reviews:
I just want the ability to add more storage and ports (including older I/O options) without significantly increasing the overall price.
Again, I’m computer literate, but pretty old and outdated these days…so I could use some current advice.
Thank you…
