Okay guys help me out. I’m a casual user, just web browsing and streaming videos, but want something that will last me for as long as it can, not planning on upgrading for a long long time. Which Mac mini 2 should I go for?
HDMI with 4k@240….no further questions. 🙂
Apple introduces new Mac mini with M2 and M2 Pro. It would be nice if they were properly addressed.
Good analysis Greg. For audio production I would normally favor more CPU power and also better input latency for controlling virtual instruments. However a new wrinkle has emerged, probably within the lifetime of this 2023 purchase. A new Swiss company, GPU Audio, has announced a plugin architecture that uses GPU rather than CPU for processing. GPU may in fact be superior for certain types of audio processing, so all the underused GPU cores in a Mac Studio suddenly become very interesting to an audio engineer. An M2/M3 Max Studio will be an amazing value if Apple holds the price and GPU audio becomes viable. Needing to upgrade soon from a very old mac, I may buy an entry-level Mini M2 as a stopgap, then redeploy it as a file server when more M2/M3 products arrive.
you are not comparing apples to apples here. you are comparing prices based on 2 different processors. mini is Pro, studio is max. so twice the media encoders and decoders. so for people the studio is made for, enough said.
Uhh overpriced apple products.. cannot even make 10gbit ethernet standard.. will never buy an apple product
m2 mini, purely because the hdmi 2.1 gives a more future proof option for larger screens. its a great sign this has happened, preying for that upgrade to a m2 studio mac asap.
This is the big question I have right now too.
I’m about to make the big purchase, but I have one question about the cpu/gpu, maybe you or someone here can help me with:
The thing I need power/speed for the most, is heavy duty script running in CAD programs. And one of these CAD programs is AutoCAD Map 2000 (yes its legacy – but I don’t have $10,000 dollars to upgrade it). And so it has to be run in ‘Parallels/Windows.’
So, the big question: is it GPU power, or CPU power that will most benefit my specific situation?
Should note that the M1 Max has 400GB/s bandwidth while the M2 Pro has 200GB/sec. And while it’s been shown that the M1 Max’s GPU can’t fully saturate the 400GB/s, and neither can the CPU, together they have much more room under simultaneous load to communicate with memory on the Mac Studio M1 Max.
M1 Ultra > M2 Max > M1 Max > M2 Pro > M1 Pro > M2 > M1, Simple Maths
Studio.
more prores and h264 on the macstudio
M2 Mac Mini have Bluetooth capabilities?
M1 Max has TWO PRORES encode/decode engines and TWO HEVC encode engines. M2 Pro only has one of each. The performance difference could quite literally be 2x. This one difference is key for any video editors to be aware of before they buy the M2 Pro Mac Mini thinking the only difference is form factor and GPU.
It depends on the user – for a prosumer looking to move video/photography/audio interests into the commercial realm, Mac Mini Pro with 1TB. No other upgrade.
M1 MacBook Air still the GOAT
Too hard to choose between m2 pro and m1 max so decided to build a monster PC 😅
i9 13900k and 64GB ddr5 ram with 2TB Samsung 990pro insanely fast SSD for the same price.
So it seems with these devices, I completely understand why things are integrated in a way to speed things up. But an ability still to add on things at least in addition would not be unreasonable. So like, why not allow for adding an additional SSD to be added? okay so maybe it won’t be as fast or allow for memory swap, at least, we can feel less trapped.
Waiting for Apple to fully support AV1 on a hardware level.
New mini is really sweet. Price is disappointing though. Basic model price is fair, but when you start adding specs you want it turns nasty in no time. Those upgrades are ridiculously overpriced.
