What do I mean by “rotate”? After you attached your Pro Display, you can turn your monitor either landscape or potrait. That round round thing is the magnetic head. With a simple magnetic head for the Pro Display to magnetically attached to it. What is it? it is a “Stand” for the monitor.

So, I decided to hook this Mac Mini to the best monitor available from Apple. Although I think iMac also uses LG screen. So, if I attached this new Mac Mini with the LG 5K monitor, I still thing there is a difference. I have generations of iMac computing devices thru out the years. This is the final piece of device to build my first ever Mac Mini computer. Questions? Comments? Drop me a note in the comments and I’ll do my best to answer them.We received the new Mac Mini with Apple silicon M1 chip on Dec 2. In short, if you’re considering the i7 equipped Mac mini for digital content creation (illustration, digital painting), you should be fine. There is no lag whatsoever when drawing or painting. I haven’t put both apps through rigorous tests yet, but in my initial drawing and painting tests, both programs launch fast and remain responsive. Despite the complaints you’ve seen and heard about the Mac mini’s integrated graphics, I feel that they are more than serviceable for running design programs like Photoshop and Clip Studio Paint. The 2018 Mac mini runs quiet and cool – so quiet in fact that if it weren’t for the tiny indicator light on the mini’s front, you’d think it was off.Ĭompared to my i5 4-core 3.2GHz Hackintosh, the 6-core i7 3.2GHz Mac mini feels significantly faster and more responsive. The one silver lining is that the memory modules are upgradeable should I ever need more RAM. I really wish Apple made memory upgrades easier, but it is what it is. Despite the fact that I have worked inside many computers over the years, I paid the Apple tax on the RAM because I didn’t want to deal with the hassle of accidentally damaging the unit while accessing the hidden RAM slots. I ordered my Mac mini with 32GB of RAM and the i7 6-core 3.2GHz processor. When the eGPU arrives, I’ll able to easily connect my second display (a Dell 2515H model). Currently, I’m using my Wacom Cintiq 27QHD as the Mac mini’s primary display. In addition to power, Ethernet, one HDMI and two USB-A ports, there are 4 Thunderbolt 3 ports, which give the Mac mini plenty of expansion capabilities.īelow are all the ports I’m currently using. There is a wealth of ports in the back of the Mac mini. The underside of the Mac mini features a circular covering that vents heat away from the unit. Personally, I was expecting dark, space gray stickers instead of the usual white ones, but it’s a minor quibble.ĭespite its small form factor, the 2018 Mac mini has some heft, insuring it won’t move on your desk when attaching cables to it. And yes, there are the obligatory Apple stickers. Inside you’ll see the Mac mini, a power cable, and a quick start guide. The contents within the box is a minimal affair. The finish is incredible, and if Apple didn’t mention its recycled origins, I doubt anyone would be able to tell the difference. Upon opening the box, you’ll see the Mac mini, in all its Aluminum glory. Despite the fact that the box it came in took some impact (see the lower right side in the image below), there were no rumpled corners of the actual Mac mini packaging. When opening the box, the first thing I saw was the familiar Apple logo of the Mac mini packaging, ensconced inside a protective cardboard shell. (This is my first Mac mini, so I don’t have a marker for comparison to the older models.) Mac mini: Unboxing Let’ start, shall we? Having wielded my share of bulky (and heavy!) Mac towers over the years, the diminutive size of the Mac mini shipping box was a refreshing change. I’ve discussed my rationale for purchasing a Mac mini as well as the tech specs of my build in an earlier post, so this time around, I’ll focus on the unboxing and first impressions of the newest Mac in my fleet. Yesterday afternoon, Apple delivered my 2018 Mac mini. Mac mini 2018: First Impressions and Unboxing
