Best $599 computer you can buy. MacOS is fantastic. This thing is fast. I recently went to a studio after selling my Mac mini to a friend. The $1299 pro model is even More incredible.
first ever Mac ive bought/used. I'm a simple user, browse the internet such as CZcams, social media and Netflix (and other sites like Netflix) I only consume content. works like a charm for me. the pc I had before this was just as snappy but it'd randomly crash and that is a no no for me. already had the apple ultra watch, the phone and the AirPods so I decided to fully get into the ecosystem. do not regret it, great performance so far.
Mad mine for about 5 months and it’s amazing
How is yours specced out if I may know ?
@@mosando is just base model runs perfectly
good job
what type of watch are you wearing?
Garmin fenix
I'm so annoyed about the belief that the M-series machines needs less RAM than the Intel ones. That's wrong and an ill advice for all your viewers.
Everything is butter and cream till it comes to expandability. Memory, space future upgradibility path and software support 😅. Just my view
Is there a way to get this to run 4k@120hz?
Yep it can do it
@billb8262 I've been trying to do it with a Cable Matters c to hdmi and I can't get it to work. Any recommendations?
@@Kaiokikaider Did you try one of the display resolution apps for Mac? You may need one that allows you to select 4K and higher refresh rate. Not sure if the default display settings app can. I think I used EasyRes or something like that to run an external and control its refresh rate when I did it.
@@billb8262 Thank you so much for the reply! I didnt know there was an app for that! i'll try it later today and let you know if it works. Thank you again!
@billb8262 almost worked. It'll do 120hz but only at 1440
On the Mac M2 studio max,,, when using one monitor on the hdmi output and One on a thunderbolt display port do your get 2 screens in extension mode or are they mirrored??
You can have either option, each monitor has a separate settings section to set as you see fit
Looks like I'm the first to comment. leaving a like and comment for CZcams algo. All the best to your youtube journey cheers.
You rock!
no you@@Rush-Reviews
The real cost is not $599. 8GB isn't good for professionals in the 2020s. The real cost is with 16GBs, so $799. At that price it is slightly above the BeeLink SER7 and Geekom A7. For the MacOS fans, that is still an excellent price to stay in the MacOs ecosystem. Even better if you use the student discount of $100, then it becomes. $699.
To bump up the SSD space to 512GB, it will cost another $200. Thus, $899 total. Excellent deal for 16/512GBs, including the student discount.
People are stressing me out in reviews saying get the 16g but I’m upgrading from a 2012 MacBook Pro 😂 I just wanna do some basic tasks and some light design work like the odd simple vector design and business cards.
I get some discount through my partners job so I can get an 8g M2 Mac Mini and an Ultra 4K Samsung monitor for £800.
Am I worrying about nothing?
I would also suggest the 16gb version tbh.

Some constructive criticism - this was not really a very critical review. A NUC PC that costs the same or less can also run the programs you described, all at the same time, but usually the RAM and SSD can also be upgraded. Yes, for a basic computer user, this is a decent machine (although if RAM or SSD goes wrong out of warranty, it’s basically a paperweight). However, for a slightly more demanding user, it’s just not a good deal. If you want a more capable machine, you’re looking at double the price. I like Apple products, but you’re paying for the marketing and design, and I hate the feeling that their price gouging has reached a new level, now that they’ve eliminated the options for user upgrades. Just look at their profit margins.
what do you recommend from a mini pc thats more customizable
I have been using this Mac Mini for about 9 months now, and it is a great multimedia computer, but as for use with external HDD's, it is by far the worst computer I have EVER used. I replaced a 2009 Mac Pro with this because it kept crashing when using any web browser. Frankly, this Mac mini does not work well with external hard disks, of which I have two, an 8tb and a 6tb disk. When connected they constantly spin up and down, as much as every thirty seconds, and often spend hours ata time writing something, though I have no idea what. its like a circus and there is absolutely no control over them. There is absolutely no way of knowing what they are doing either. It has come to the point that after booting up every morning I have to quickly disconnect them, as I cannot stand the constant noise, never mind the damage being done to my drives with the constant unnecessary use. I have updated the OS multiple times now and the problem remains. It has certainly convinced me that this is the last Mac I will ever buy.
Well they must be in use for some reason? Also, they are likely shingled which is another issue with regards to write speed as they fill up
The drives all have significant space on them, and this is a known issue with the Mac Mini (google it), an issue that never appears to get fixed. I suspect its purposefully designed to stop users who need additional HD space to use a higher end Mac instead.@@Rush-Reviews
HDD's is a depricated medium and depending on brand, can behave differently. Also it sounds like these are pretty old so maybe they have dead sections and stuff that makes the computer slightly confused
They're not old. One is two years old and the other is just a few months old, both have several TB's of free space. I just unmount them now after the mornings back ups. Absolutely fed up of this computer.@@bj0urne
I use external SSD's with mine and they are rapid in the thunderbolt 4 ports, I've also got a 2tb 2.5 external drive which I use for time machine every now and again and it works a treat but like others have said, if you are using old hard drives maybe that's the reason, nowadays you can get 1tb SSD's so inexpensively I just couldn't; be bothered using standard HDD's anymore, its also nice having a completely silent room, the fan in the M2 mini's is so quiet I don't think I have ever heard it running.
