Since launch, it has shipped without a display, keyboard, and mouse. As of 2022, it is positioned between the consumer all-in-one iMac and the professional Mac Studio and Mac Pro as one of four current Mac desktop computers. Mac Mini (stylized as Mac mini) is a small form factor desktop computer developed and marketed by Apple Inc. IMac, Mac Pro, iMac Pro, Developer Transition Kit, Mac Studio Intel Core i3, Core i5 and Core i7, PowerPC G4, Intel Core Solo, Core Duo, Core 2 Duo (previously).But clearly $230 or $390 is less than $800 with very little convenience difference for a stay at home machine. It is still a tad slower (75% of) than internal speeds, but it also provides 60 watt of power so it acts as a power supply for my laptop as well. I recently played around with a Raid 0 NVMe enclosure (2, 1tb sticks). So yes, the $230 Samsung comes to mind, but then the slower speeds might be an issue (isn't for me). Large files, slow sync speed, lots of blinks. Dropbox is less handy because I tend to use larger files at home (video editing, photos, games, etc.). For me it works well to go with the low cost option (256 built in storage) as I tend to upgrade every 2 years. But it does have backup built in via dropbox. essentially the break even is 5 years versus just coughing up the $800 to begin with. $230 Samsung 2Tb T5 + 2Tb dropbox $120 a year. It is about 3-4 times slower than built in Apple option, but honestly its super fast versus super duper fast and in most casual applications that's like a blink versus half a blink. In this case a 2tb Samsung T5 for games, movies, etc. Now when I travel for work or play, I do like to carry some entertainment with me. It does cost, about $120 a year for 2 Tb but the convenience is amazing, and built in backup. It works well for me because I use 3 separate devices (work desktop, home desktop, and laptop for travel). Dropbox makes it really easy to determine what stays in the cloud or on my device. I can keep what I am currently working on downloaded on my laptop, but the bulk (700 Gb) in the cloud. And that's it.įor work I am dealing mostly with smaller files (word processing, spreadsheets.) And so I keep all my work files on DropBox (a cloud option) that allows me to keep them synced with my work desktop (stored locally) and accessed on my lap top via the cloud. I do use Apple photo which can be a hog, but keep my pics in the cloud (easy to select apple option).
Two different applications, two different solutions, but I start from the same base configuration, on my internal drive I load up my productivity apps. I use my laptops for dual purposes, travel or at home convenience. I typically buy the low storage options so I don't feel bad about upgrading soon. Same arguements apply for 1 tb but the cost savings will be less. $800 is the ceiling as this is the cost of the internal Apple Option for 2 tb.
