.[0m.[1;1H.[1mSome of you know that I ordered a new Mac Mini with the M4 ARM .[A.[62C chip. First, I.[B.[77Dordered on the Apple Education Store;.[B.[37D https://www.apple.com/us-edu/store.[B.[34D.[B.[34D... Apple isn't verifying .[A.[26Cstudent status, so one can order a base Mac Mini for.[B.[78D$499 - a .[A.[8C freaking steal IMO!.[B.[28D.[B.[28DThe reason for this purchase is t .[A.[33Chat my 2018 Intel iMac 27" 5K just isn't up to.[B.[79Dthe task of ed .[A.[14Citing 4K video - its jittery, clunky and makes editing a lot.[B.[74D .[Aharder and more tedious. The new M4 makes light work of what I throw at i .[A.[73Ct!!.[B.[76DThe CPU sits at 2.5% with DaVinci Resolve, and many other .[A.[57C windows, open - and.[B.[77Deven when rendering it stays under 60%. .[A.[40CRenders are more than twice as fast;.[B.[76Dand its not even using t .[A.[24Che entire power of the computer..[B.[56D.[B.[56DOne problem with ord .[A.[20Cering this base Mac Mini, coming from the 27" iMac, is that.[B.[79Dt .[A.[1Che iMac has a BEAUTIFUL 5K display... MacOS prefers a 1440p or 5K dis .[A.[70Cplay..[B.[75D(Because 5K @ 200% scale divides perfectly into 1440p.. .[A.[55C.) At any rate I had a.[B.[77Dfew options for monitors;.[B.[25D
I have 2 Dell 24" 1080p monitors - I could just use those and it would be... FINE. I'd have enough real estate, but editing in 4K wouldn't show my video .[A.[76Cat.[B.[78Dthe proper resolution... no biggy, BUT to get the same piz .[A.[58Cazz as the iMac, I.[B.[76Dwanted a good display. I found a couple op .[A.[42Ctions;.[B.[48D.[B.[48DSamsung Viewfinity S9 27" 5K - $750.[B.[35DSam .[A.[3Csung M8 32" 4K.[12C- $399.[B.[35D.[B.[35DThe S9 is almost a carbon co .[A.[28Cpy of the Apple Studio Display; it has a beautiful.[B.[78DIPS displa .[A.[10Cy and is 5K which MacOS just loves... but the $399 price on the M8
had me pushing BUY. :/ I really hope its gonna look similar to the iMac and that the 4K doesn't mess w/ MacOS too much - I guess if I hate it I can doub .[A.[76Cle.[B.[78Dthe $$$ and order the S9. UGH..[B.[30D.[B.[30DOne other 'n .[A.[12Ceat' thing is that I currently have the iMac next to ONE Dell 24"
1080p display that I'm using for the Mini... MacOS is so rad that it can det .[A.[76Cect.[B.[79Dtheres another MacOS machine next to it and I just move t .[A.[57Che mouse to either.[B.[75Dmachine and keyboard/trackpad then work on .[A.[42C that machine - I MAY continue to use.[B.[79Dthe iMac next to the M8 .[A.[23C monitor; the 2018 iMac is still very capable, for.[B.[73Doffice stu .[A.[10Cff... that would give me 60" of screen space!! Otherwise, I'll use
the 32" and ONE Dell 24" in vertical mode; just dunno yet..[B.[58D.[B.[58DI .[A.[2Cedited a quickee video today;.[B.[31Dhttps://youtu.be/cUY8kAijL0Y .[B.[28DAnd the Mac Mini made light work of it! The base model has 16GB of R .[A.[68CAM that I.[B.[77Dcan live with until I can find some Louis Rossman t .[A.[51Cype to solder on new RAM.[B.[75DNANDs for 32GB, and there are 3rd pa .[A.[36Crty SSDs coming onto the scene;.[B.[67D.[B.[67Dm4-ssd.com - 2TB @ .[A.[21C $300, 1TB @ $170.[B.[38D.[B.[38DI know for a fact that if I was in .[A.[35CChina I could buy the same for 1/2 the.[B.[73Dprice, but I am THINKI .[A.[22CNG of ordering one to see if m4-ssd.com is a SCAM, and if.[B.[79Dthe .[A.[3Cy work out longterm... LOL - if I were made of $$$ and all. :/ But I .[A.[72Cdo know.[B.[79Dthat the 256GB will never work for me. I currently co .[A.[53Cpy video data off my NAS.[B.[77Donto the Mac Mini, edit, and then re .[A.[36Cmove... rinse and repeat - but I need some.[B.[78Dspace to stretch. .[B.[17DFirst thoughts; LONG story short, if you find yourself in need of a .[A.[68Cnon-Linux,.[B.[78Dnon-Windows really flipping good computer - order .[A.[50Ca Mac Mini M4 @ Student.[B.[73DPricing for $499. You won't be unsati .[A.[37Csfied!!.[B.[44D.[B.[44DMore to come....[B.[15D.[B.[15D.[B.[15D .[0mp.[1mAULIE.[36m42.[0mo.[B.[9D.[1;30m..........[B.[9D
