Over the last 15 years our climate here in Western Europe has become so 
temperate that we hardly get to see any ice. Our last real snow that 
lasted longer than 2 or 3 days was in 2010. But of course climate change 
doesn't exist...

2024-10-06 Thread steve harley

(yes, i am still on this list)

i moved from a Mac Pro 2013 to a Mac Mini M2 Pro last year; the Mini is 
extremely capable; i don't think the regular M2 would make much difference, but 
i would suggest 16GB RAM — i push mine hard and sometimes wish i had 32GB; i 
run apps for audio, photo, GIS, design and lots and lots of browser tabs

there is likely an M4 mini to be announced this month, which may figure into 
the choice; it might default to 16GB — it will also mean discounts on the 
current line

i have both thunderbolt and USB external drives plus two thunderbolt displays 
attached, no problem; HDMI is supported natively as well (no need for an 
adapter), and adapters can be had for most anything else

i have used a lot of different keyboards, both bluetooth & USB; they all work, 
but if she uses a Windows-style keyboard (like me right now) she'll need an 
obscure yet trivial tweak to put the command and option keys in the right place 
(if she cares)

but i think most students would prefer a laptop; the MacBook Air line is about 
as powerful as the Minis, but with fewer ports for external devices; again get 
16GB RAM

Re: OT Apple help

2024-10-02 Thread Bob W PDML

I have a Mac mini which I bought for the vanishingly rare occasions when 
iPhone or iPad apps don’t have some functionality I need that a full-on bit of 
software has. I already had an Apple keyboard which I used with the iPad if I 
needed to do any big typing. I also have a trackpad which I prefer to a mouse.

Being cheap I decided to do without a monitor, the Apple ones are ridiculously 
expensive, so for the last 3-4 years I’ve used an ancient TV screen as an 
occasional monitor. It’s very low res, and 4:3 ratio, but it sort of works, 
although some windows don’t entirely fit and I sometimes have to go into the 
display settings and faff about.

Last week I saw that there is a class of thing called a portable monitor, so I 
bought one on Amazon for £125. It’s better than the TV screen but it has a very 
annoying habit of blanking for a second or so every few minutes, so I wouldn’t 
recommend it for someone who needs to spend any amount of time in front of it.

Another option, if there is already a PC or laptop in the vicinity, is to 
remote in and use the Mac mini as a headless server using VNC or some such.

After wailing and gnashing my teeth for some time because of the utterly ridiculous pricing structure, I am having to work out a way to make this happen. So, bearing in mind that I am looking primarily at an Apple Mac mini MMFJ3B/A, some questions:

Will this cope? Fairly sure she will have to use some form of external drive for storage.

Specs say it's got a 256GB internal SSD.

External SSDs that work with the Mac Mini are fairly inexpensive. Much
more so than the Apple upgrade price for internal drives.

I would think about getting the memory upgrade because I don't think you
can add memory later.

Does Apple use normal video connections, such that I can attach a non-Apple
monitor?

Specs say it's got one HDMI output. You might need a "Thunderbolt 4 to
HDMI" adapter cable.

Will any bluetooth keyboard/mouse work - can I use a cabled one?

I have an older Mac Mini (Intel Mac) and it came with a Macally Keyboard
& Mouse (cabled, numeric keyboard, 2-button scroll mouse) and an AOC
monitor. The Macally keyboards have the Apple specific keys.

https://www.amazon.com/Macally-Keyboard-Shortcut-Optical-MKEYECOMBO/dp/B01A109UHW/?th=1

https://www.amazon.com/AOC-27B2H2-Frameless-1920x1080-Compatible/dp/B0C8ZJ6RW8/?th=1

I think the Mac Mini is meant for people who want Apple, but don't want
to bust their budget, so it's designed to work with non-Apple displays,
mice, keyboards & external drives.

Many thanks in anticipation.
