#MacMini #MacMini2018 - Věda a technologie
This is perfect for me. I'm so stoked. Feels like all the Apple Pro stuff is mostly just aimed at graphic designers and video editors, yet there are loads of pros making music on Macs (myself included). I get no real benefit from 5K displays and GPUs, it just makes the Macs I need way too expensive. With this Mac Mini, I get the processing power and the memory I need without all the stuff I don't care about, at a better price.
yaaaaaaaaaaaaasssss
Exactly
So underrated comment. You're right. With it's i5 8th gen chip and a little more ram Mac mini is a dream for many coders.
Hi Paul, what chseacteristics get on your mac mini?
Great job as always Daniel! Thank you! Here’s a suggestion for a video - tell us how to setup your new Mac Mini as a server and 15+ reasons to have a server and use a server. 👏👏👏
I think it's important to mention the additional equipment required to utilize the 10GB ethernet port. You're not going to magically just get 10x the speeds plugging it into your current gigabit switch.
Thanks for this review was very helpful,does the the graphics (which you stated is not great) will this only affect gaming ? How about video editing ?
Thank you
im gonna build my work station with the Mac mini set up.
Thanks,
Thanks for the 15 things that you mentioned here !
Very helpful when trying to determine between the iMac pro and the newer Mac mini. Thanks, and love your channel :)
Nice round up thanks. This is a great option for studios that already have decent monitors and keyboards lying around. I work at a bunch of places that still happily use the old Cheese-grater Macs - these new mac minis could be a nice upgrade.
Thanks for the great overview, Daniel!...Just purchased a 2018 Mac Mini in order to use it it as home server...Do you recommend the Apple macOS Server App ?
So the PCIe flash cards that come with it will be proprietary to the Mac Mini or will you be able to add one you have sitting about or an OWC one?
please do a video on how to use the mac mini as a server
Purchased a 2020 Mac Mini i5 8gb. It is arriving today. I am coming from 2014 Mini and it has become sluggish when I have 3 applications running or multiple tabs open in my browser. I appreciate videos like this one because I do feel like this is a great machine for the price. Can't wait to see how this new 6 core machine compares to the dual-core 2014 one I have been using.
Thanks bro
Hi thanks for great review! Do you know what is read and write times for Mac Mini SSD?
after all his videos, today I was actually eating when he said "grab some snacks" kkkkk
Hi There... Thanks for your videos! I have a quick question: Do you think that if I plugin three SSD USB 3 Drives ( Samsung X5 ) it will be ok as far as powering them?
This is such a good video. I had my heart set on a imac. But I may just get a Mac Mini instead. I already have a monitor. (it's only 1080p) And a apple keyboard from my 2011 Mac Mini. I do have a question. I have an elgato capture card HD, one fo the old ones where you can connect retro consoles up to it. Would this new mac mini with the i7 processor be able to handle that, or would I need a dedicated Graphics card?
Daniel, REALLY HOPING that you do a vid on making this MacMini your Server! Please do a vid showing how to do this, & your thoughts on the MacMini & ease, benchmarks, daily/practical usage, etc....of making this be your home server( think is what said). So, hoping do this vid with MacMini, until than....thanks for your vids & dedication/work.
Cheers, A
I really love this Mac mini 2018
Cheers from Brazil!
I think new mac mini is awesome to be a base desktop to my parents. Easy to go and durable. Apple products is so expensive but at least they last longer.
After seeing the new Mac Mini , I am now exited about upcoming Mac Pro
What monitor would you recommend for it ? I have a dedicated internal HDD on my old iMac.for a consolidated Photos library. Would it make sense to get a thunderbolt 3 capable enclosure and use it as an external drive ? Are there any available ?. It seems to make sense to move these household server type of use cases to a MacMini instead of getting a new iMac ...
Several videos on Y.T. how to change the RAM, watch them several times, have the right tools. The IFIXIT tool kit works great getting the job done. Need very small Torx screwdrivers.
Would love to see how it works in Final Cut Pro X and compare that to the Mini + eGpu also would love to see how it works in Windows via bootcamp?
Damn, that's a lovely timing/coordination with the hands/fingers and the 'previous videos'. around 0:26
I haven't decided, because I am still holding out till the I-Mac 2018, maybe later this month or December (before Christmas), with hopefully the 9th Generation 9900k, that will be good for awhile. I hope they come up the design that you had. Can you access the inside to the memory without breaking the warranty?
Great Video Regarding NEW Mac Mini - 15 Things You Didn't Know!
This is actually the perfect machine for me as a software developer. The CPU and the RAM are the things that developers take the most advantage of. I have no real use for a great GPU, but if I find myself needing it down the road, eGPU support is a nice to have.
I am planning to use this Mac mini for VMware administration trainings where in I use VMware workstation or parallels and spin multiple servers and operating systems...I will be going with good ram of around 32 gb and I7 processor for sure...do you suggest Mac mini could take that load or it is bettter to go with iMac pro? Does egpu is needed again for these tasks or internal gpu is sufficient?
Hi there thanks for this nice video. I am a music producer and am concerned about usb versus thunderbolt as all my midi controllers are usb. My old 2012 mini has 4 usb. does that mean I will have to buy new wires?
What would you use your Mac Mini Server for?
Please do a video where you talk about using your Mac Mini as a server, and how you overcome the different hurdles/things that now are harder after Apple made the MacOS Server an app. That would be really interesting!
you can still install anything you want in this machine...for server only purpose unless you need an easy MDM for mac devices linux would be probably better.
@@ivanclementecabrera agreed: a virtualboxed ubuntu server distro seems like a nice thing to have considering the computing power this thing has now.
i agree- i dont understand how it works from a software perspective and how you integrate it into your workflow. i'm really considering one but need to know what sort of transfer speeds via a network, 10gbe, and thunderbolt direct connection i'd get. Wanting to edit 4k video off of a server.
Please does anybody knows if the new Mac mini is compatible with the older Apple Thunderbolt Display?
Do you post when school is almost out👀
An interesting comparison video would be to see the difference between a NEW Mac Mini and the current line up of iMacs (with equivalent RAM and CPU and GPU). Looking forward to the price comparisons.
Is there a way to use a larger HD?
Hi, I am going to replace my twin xeon server running Windows server 2012 R2 with a mac mini as I am sick of windows. What spec would you use for it to be a media/file/IP camera server? Also I have a 24 bay Mini SAS Hdd rack and would love to have it connect to thunderbolt. Any ideas?
The Kingston RAM upgrade seems to have better clock timings than the Crucial brand you recommend. I’d be interested to here other’s thoughts on the subject.
Can you please do another Note 9 camera face off with the new camera updates its had. Sorry I know this is unrelated. Apparently they've tried adjusting some complaints with back lit images and a few other things.
Is this optimal for audio produccion and heavy pluggins usage?
Nice video! One thing, funny one - I think that Mac Mini is not equipped with camera so T2 doesn't have to handle that :)
thunderbolt 4 equivalent is coming late 2019. double the bandwidth of t3. PCIE4 out in 2019 too
I love it!
hi, is there much difference between mac mini 2018 and 2020?
Can I get an external monitor that has a built-in WebCam for my Mac Mini
Nice overview. You forgot to mention they dropped optical S/PDIF from headphone jack. Sad news for those using the Mac Mini as HTPC.
Good point!
Yeah - shame about that. Although optical S/PDIF only supports up to 5.1 sound, so most AV amps now have switched to HDMI in order to support Dolby Atmos and 7.1 setups etc.
I finally got rid of my 5.1 system and went back to 2 channel stereo. It feels like my life is much simpler now. 😎
Apple want you to use the Apple TV as an HTPC. Not the Mac mini. But I’m using the spdif port with my Xbox and surround system
...Or just anyone taking the out to a decent quality DAC for doing other decent quality audio stuff. :(
This device is looking better & better; especially since the higher price from last model of the MacMini(which loved cuz was able to upgrade RAM, storage etc....was great.).... Now if we could also upgrade Ethernet card, which, knowing Apple it's soldered to mobo or a daughter board....
But can we also upgrade the storage like we can RAM(as we could upgrade storage & ram on older MacMini computers); if we can upgrade storage, this might be a pretty good device, even with higher price take from first gen models..
Cheers, A
I would love to see the mac mini hooked um to my 55 inch 4K TV because even my 15 inch MacBook Pro acts like an Aircraft when it‘s hooked up to it and even this has a dedicated GPU
Would love to see a video of you hooking up your new Mac Mini to an older iMac. I have a late model 2013 27” iMac and am having trouble connecting it to my new Mac Mini. I purchased an Apple HDMI to DVI adapter, an Apple mini displayPort to DVI adapter, and a DVI to DVI Cable to connect the iMac to the Mac Mini, but can’t get the iMac to recognize the Mac Mini. 🤬 I followed all the instructions online, but don’t know what I’m doing wrong.
Hi if i want to connect wacom cintiq 22hd i need DVI to HDMI adapter or DVI to usb-c?
These are good to run as servers from my own experience.
o yeah Real pro! those integrated graphics
Is it worth it to buy a Mac mini and use as monitor my old Mac 2011?
I use a mini mac now for a server. The Drobo 5dt is connected to it and it is my PLEX server. I am looking to replace my MacBookPro with the new mini mac. I have a monitor and keyboard, etc because I use the MBP as a desktop.
So, will it run ESXi ?
nice over view.. I just bought an mac mini i5 .. I am very satisfied with it at this point... i mainly watch videos and make small videos. In a few years i ll up grade the ram and get an eGPU but those upgrades will only cost me approximately 1000 and i ll have it future proofed for about 7 years.. so spending 2000 dollars for 7 to 10 years of hassle free computing is worth it.
I have 2 Questions not answered about the new Mac Mini. 1. The ram slots seem to only have 2 SO-DIMM slots and I have never seen a 2 by 32GB SO-DIMMs do they even exist or is there really 4 slots? 2. Are you sure the I can run two 4K monitors? If so that's all I need. Soon as I find out the answers I am going to buy I just want to know what will I need to buy as well.
davincij15 Yes it can run two 4k’s. Actually a 5k and a 4K. But Ram is what is unknown whether there are 2 or 4 slots. If there’s only two slots and you need 64gb , looks like you have to go to apple to upgrade. If you need 32gb, you can upgrade yourself. But still. I’m not yet sure.
@@mrkewlgai1 Thanks it sure looks like I will need to buy the ram from Apple.
Can this double as an Apple TV?
hi , I have problem wit h my new ben-q monitor I can't switch the rgb option the colour is disappointing how to solve this "?
Does it support dual hard drives?
Its cool that if you buy this beast with the i7, memory can be upgraded later to save some upfront cost.
Just bought 2012 Mac Mini 256 ssd 16 ram for $400. Works like a dream.
Is the 2018 model as quiet as previous versions? I've been using a 2011 mini to record audio because it is completely silent, but it's time now for an upgrade and I'm wondering if the vastly more powerful 2018 mini will be noisy. Anyone? Anyone?
An error to note here is you showed a 32GB set (16x2) in context of 64GB RAM, as if you could buy 2 of those sets, but the Mac Mini only has 2 RAM slots so you actually do lose the 8GB it ships with in replacing it. You'll need two 32GB sticks from somewhere like OWC. The 2 slots vs 4 makes the RAM upgrade more expensive than you're showing but it's still not near Apple prices.
Well, it makes it a $1000 rather than 1200GBP, so it's actually not a million miles away.
I was able to upgrade my 2020 Mac Mini to 64GB for $254 on eBay. Of course 64GB is the max you can upgrade to. Really like it. It works fine. I also got the Blackmagic Design eGPU from Apple. It works as advertised. While the 580 chipset may be getting a little long in the tooth, at nearly 6 Teraflops it’s more than adequate for my needs. There are many options and some are even upgradeable which the BD is not. The BD is not only powerful but it actually looks like something you would want on your desk.
Based on the photos I see of the new Mac Mini at Apple's website, it looks as though adding/replacing RAM won't be as complicated as it is with the 2018 model.
Do you think I can edit smoothly 6K RAW footage with it without an external GPU ? Thanks!
The QR Code hmmmm not with out the egpu, there will be lag, the rendering time will be very long, and expect for it to get hot and the fan to go nuts.
What do you mean set up as a server?
I went basic and regretting 128gb ssd. New model 256 now. Xcode use mainly but struggled even os and Xcode (dam you cache. ). Got a 2011 mid fully working with 4tb ssid ideal for pics music that still works great just os Xcode forced upgrade. Repurchasing id go 1tb ssid.
I think it is great! I don’t believe that you need to max it out... 6 core and 256GB or maybe 512GB SSD should be enough. The cool part is that you cam always connect a thunderbolt 3 SSD or more. The eGPU is a great option for gaming and there you have it! The most modular mac.
I actually ditched my 2014 iMac with 128 gig Mac mini ,razer core x egpu and radeon Vega graphics ,and a Samsung t5 512 gig ssd,and a 4k lg monitor .this whole setup costs less than an iMac pro and is more powerful than it.
Hi! How do I remote to this Mac mini using my 5yr old MacBook pro retina and use it for video editing. To save on cost, I would buy this and an egpu only and use my MacBook as the monitor keyboard. Will this work?
NoelKoG I don’t think you can do that.
if I'd known this was coming our I'd have waited and gotten the mini over the imac. That's what I wanted instead of the mac over taking my desk
I wanna buy this for app developemnt using Xcode
(3.6GHz quad-core 8th-generation Intel Core i3 processor
16GB 2666MHz DDR4 memory
, Intel UHD Graphics 630 , 128GB PCIe-based SSD storage1)
what do you think?is it suitable for xcode ?
Good overview. I’d be careful about simply replacing a new Mac mini into an existing rack enclosure. The mid to high end configurations will run much hotter than the previous version and could overheat in an enclosure not specifically designed for these new models.
What’s your recommendation to replace time capsule ? i.e keep a backup of my Mac
hi, can you upgrade the ssd to the new corsair MP510? also can you choose memory at 3200 MHz?
Kurt Digenis the internal ssd is soldered in so you can’t upgrade the ssd.
Thanks. I got the i7 with 32 gb and 1Tb. Primarily for music production but will be expanding to Logic Pro X too. If you have a Blackmagic eGPU it would be great to see how well it helps the Mac Mini. Most of the reviews are with the MacBooks which is less helpful. I imagine that the performance increase will be significant. I know it is on the MacBook 13 which has a better graphic card than the Mac Mini.
Bob P I’ve been looking at what’s available in egpu cases. The BM case is the most expensive overall, although it does have extra ports. Asus make a very compact egpu, but misses all those extra ports. 9to5mac has good video reviews.
That Mac Mini will be absolutely amazing for music production.
The i7, 32 gb, 1tb is enough for Logic Pro X ? Or it needs the BM eGPU ?
toni geol - It’s way more than enough for Logic Pro X. It’s music production, you don’t need an eGPU.
Thank you !
How do we know if a display, which is not mentioned in the specifications, is compatible with Mac mini 2018??
suresh vempati I think all displays are compatible. I’ve tried multiple displays with my Mac mini and they all worked. Also remember some displays might need drivers to work.
If my internet speed is only 200mbps down & up, is there a reason to upgrade the Ethernet port or just keep the one it comes with
The Ethernet Port on this Mac Mini is not for your internet connection. You will be connecting with Wi/Fi.
Can you connect 4 eGPUs and connect 2 Displays per eGPU in the Mac Mini?
TheKenji0909 yes unfortunately
Anyone going to replace the RAM themselves? That makes me interested in the Mac Mini now....
Micah George yup but need to know if we upgrade it ourselves do we void warranty ?
MYSTIC KNIGHT 23 technically yes but keep the original ram so you can put it back before taking it in 😉
Daniel Campbell ahh clever 👌🏻 good idea haha unless Apple have them indicators which tell you the Mac mini has been opened before. That would suck then
MYSTIC KNIGHT 23 unlikely the last one didn’t and none of the macs do. They can tell when it’s non apple ram in AST 2 but not if it’s been opened as long as it it closed properly and screws are in the right sport especially the security screw
Thomas Frank yeah I just saw someone try to do it you have to disassemble quite a lot to get to the RAM
Quick question if you upgrade the RAM by yourself so you void the warranty with Apple ?
Nope :)
ZONEofTECH yes good news then ☺️
I think it's No, BUT. If you damage something while replacing RAM, then yes. So, caution.
Good luck taking the entire machine out without breaking anything in order to change your ram :D
anast dime ikr
the best thing they could have done is to put a kaby lake G processor with Vega M GH graphics
they would ve not been able to manufaccture enough of these
i cant bbuy anything with integrated graphics
Would you be able to upgrade the SSD aftermarket?
andr3marques no
Only externally.
Maxing out the mini or getting an iMac Pro, should consider the cost of repair for the mini as being less than the iMac should anything go wrong?
That is correct. The repair cost of the Mac Mini is much lower than the repair cost of an iMac Pro. Plus the Mini is 'modular'. You can upgrade the GPU by putting a different GPU in the eGPU enclosure. Same goes for the display.
Looking for 64GB RAM upgrade kit for Late 2018 Mac Mini. That would be 2x 32GB modules. All I can find is 2x 16GB modules online, which would only bring it up to 32GB. Please advise...
Buck and Buck, check eBay.
Special.
Huge fan. It’d mean the world to me if you replied to my comment. If I carry on snacking I’m going to be huge.
:D
Please link EGpu
Great wrap up. I'll be using some for Parallels virtualisation. They work really well. Cheers, JAYTEE
I buy an i7,16DDR4 one. I am a music producer. I hope it's can load more Kontakt and Serum. God! Hope pls!
So what display to pair with the Mac Mini?
Monoprice. You can get HD displays that match apples resolution for 50% less.
Scott Lowell you mind showing us website where we can get these displays?
Well, basically anything that supports USB-C or HDMI 2.0
Groovy
Complete teardown and ram upgrade video on my channel!
Great 👍 Video As Always ZOT, Congratulations On Hitting 600K Subs, I Think 🤔 The Mac Mini Is A Much Better Value Than A 21.5 Inch iMac 🖥, Please Do Another ZOT News, Thanks 🙏!!!
Sure will :) ZoT News will be back! Just need to get all the product releases out of the way 😁
Okay 👌, That’s Good!
How do you use an external gpu are they plug and play?
jbgrooves I believe so.
What about hard drive ?
Is the internal SSD easily replaceable too?
Nope ;(
Super bummed they didn’t put a dedicated gpu in the Mac mini since apple doesn’t support egpus in boot camp for gaming. Also, the storage start of 128 is garbage. Cost is way to high.
The low storage version is probably for farms where they use external storage and just need to put the os on it's internal storage,
@@wodan74 Even if that's partly why, they really overcharge with the SSD upgrades though. You can get similar SSDs for almost half the price of what Apple is charging. Just ridiculous. I'm planning to get one of these, but will also get an external hard drive instead of upgrading the internal one for stuff I don't need to keep directly on it.
Dont about poundsyou are so thorough!Thanks!
15 things you already knew after watching the keynote and reading through the specs.
