Have you tried connecting it with your Vision Pro? I’ve never had a Mac, but I do have a Vision Pro and I’ve been tempted to get a Mac Mini to use with the Vision Pro. Interested it to see if you’ve done it.
I can't see anyone doing serious production on the mini. The base unit is a fabulous mini PC at under 600 dollars. Power efficiency is incredible. It'll work fine for anything I need. I'm still using a Mac Pro 5,1 for video editing/heating the office.
I agree, although Chadwick @CreativeVideoTips in a recent video showed how to use the Mac Mini for Remote Rendering in Resolve, and it looks like a cool way to use the base model as a $600 rendering machine.
I've got a base Mac Mini M4 Pro with the 512Gb SSD, and it writes at 3,400-3,500 and it reads at around 3,100. This is the internal SSD. I also have a maxed out Mac Mini M4 Pro, but I've not run any tests on it to see what the speeds are yet.
As usual, I didn't know what I was talking about and will correct myself next week. But the bigger capacity SSDs are faster, even if they don't have 4 NAND chips.
I have a M2 Mac Studio Max I been Editing in-house and just bought the M4 MacBook Pro 16” for Travel Work. These Macs especially the M4 Mini Pro are incredible machines. I use External Thunderbolt 4 Enclosures, the Thunderbolt 5 ports are great but 3000 mbps vs approximately 5500 mbps is not worth the jump in TB5 peripherals at the moment 😅 3000 Mbps is nothing to sneeze at. At TB5 speeds outside of connecting monitors, very few people are doing anything complex enough outside of Large Data File moves to justify it right now…. But I’m waiting on standby 😂
The PC is covered in this video ruclips.net/video/S9QJy6iJz2c/видео.html, the audio stuff in ruclips.net/video/EGiUcFH3YW4/видео.html, the AORUS FO48U in ruclips.net/video/rUP6Tmq49E8/видео.html, the Elgato mic and arm in ruclips.net/video/ARPylFMekQY/видео.html, and the Steelcase Gesture chair in ruclips.net/video/YPqAByHsiV8/видео.html.
😂 I knew the base model wasn’t the right fit for you. You’re the typical Apple customer who values convenience, pleasing aesthetics, saving time, and better performance over saving a few dollars. I’m curious to know what ended up costing you $2300. The starting price for the M4 pro model is $1300, and it comes with a 12-Core CPU, 16-Core GPU, 24GB of unified memory, and 512GB of SSD storage! I believe this setup might be a better fit for you than your current Mac Studio. Plus, considering its trade-in or resale value, it might even actually cost you very little difference.
you misspoke at 6:05. M4 Mini has Thunderbolt 4, not 3. M4 Pro has Thunderbolt 5 as you noted.
I was actually referring to the DRIVE being Thunderbolt 3. (But since I misspeak a lot, not a surprise.)
Trade it in and get a snappy one. It’s amazing how much time you put into these videos, sure appreciate it!
That's the plan! Stay tuned next week. And thanks!

I have not, but now I have to try. Maybe there’ll be a video in it!
@ I hope you do! I look forward to it!

@@DrWiggo Yup. I tested my 8 terabyte SSD earlier, but I forgot to write the number down. I think it was around 6,000.

If I had that setup I'd be standing by as well.
Yamaha HS5 ? What is your opinion about it ?
They sound fine. I'm embarrassed to say I bought them for their looks more than their sound.
Mr Wiggo. Can you go over your desk set up?

The actual information begins at three minutes.
That's what the Chapters are for! (Sometimes it's not until 10 minutes in.)

You are very wise. You’ll find out what cost so much (which Apple upgrade “taxes”) next week!
@ I can’t wait!
