Another thing some people may not realize is that you can get the 16 GB M2 Mac Mini with the base storage, and get a Mac Mini Hub with NVMe enclosure. Just add whatever NVMe you want there that's compatible and you've upped your storage for way less than what Apple is charging.

Hi Informative Video For 4k video and Photo editing M2 Mac Mini 24gb Ram 512gb SSD or M2 Pro Mac Mini 16gb Ram 512gb SSD Which will be faster for workflow? Do suggest

nice review, your vid is rad. I wonder what lut you are using?

m2 base is good for gaming streaming from an Xbox and capture card? and what about m1?

Clear one thing - you have a M2 pro chip or a basic M2 chip? Also mention the RAM...

So you are saying you recommend 8gb m2 pro over 16gb mac mini?

That was the base model M2?

Exports fast compared to Intel, sure. But how about doing more than just cutting a video up? What if you want to do some intensive FX editing? Or anything that needs a decent GPU? I'd rather my computer be able to do intensive editing, even if the exports took an hour. I'm legit asking. Do you think this is better then s Windows system of similar price for more intensive video editing, rendering time aside?

The logo issue bothered me to with my macpro m1 but the I realize that it makes sense up side down in a doc, give you the possibility to have the “logo” right side up depending on what way your facing the ports. Same with the mini I guess if you decide to have the port up or down you got a logo facing the right way I guess? Great vid btw has always 🥰

It’ll definitely be able to produce what you’re looking for. Performance will vary depending on factors like how many streams of video, codecs & bitrates, etc. 50-60gb is quite large in terms of file size if you get the base storage so having a good SSD to edit off would be important.

Refurbs from Apple are pretty much identical to brand new products Another thing to double check is if you’d be able to connect to 3 monitors, I vaguely remember there being complaints about a macbook (i think?) being limited to only 1 or 2 external monitors. Not sure how this translates over to the studio and mac mini. It shouldn’t be an issue but it’s something to verify Also thats a pretty sick idea to run it as a media computer 👀 any specific reason you have to go for the mac mini instead of a apple tv?
