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 😂

Yamaha HS5 ? What is your opinion about it ?

Mr Wiggo. Can you go over your desk set up?

😂 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.

Trade it in and get a snappy one. It’s amazing how much time you put into these videos, sure appreciate it!

You spent more time talking about a keyboard and mouse than the actual subject, the Mac Mini.

Really like your videos. Hope you get more views

Thankyou. I'm in the market for a mac mini (and vision pro) and might get both to use together. If so I may post something myself!

Another great video, I absolutely love watching you, great attitude, easy to understand and very entertaining! Keep up the good work my friend!

Fun video, but you seem to jump from low to high. You go from 256gb storage which is too low to 1tb being too high for $400, but why not go half way $200 for 512gb? Then you say if this ( a base model Mini) doesn't do it for video editing then you have to wait for a Mac Studio M4 "Ultra". That's a bit of a jump wouldn't you say? You got the Mini with the M4 Pro chip or the current Mac Studio with M2 Max chip which for video edit will destroy this Mac Mini or even if you wait there will most likely be a Mac Studio M4 "Max". Why the Ultra? But, hey it was fun to watch. And a thumbs up from me!

I decided I did not need the M4 Pro as I rarely do video editing type tasks. I went for the M4 with 512 SSD and 24 GB memory. I doubt I need more than 16GB but as that can’t be upgraded, I decided it was worth the extra. Looking forward to your upcoming videos. The hearing aid option on the air pod pro is not available in the UK right now.

Thanks again for a great video. I’ll be curious to see how the external memory works for you. I hope it does because I think it’s almost like paying ransom to get those larger memories from Apple anyway… Thanks for the memories.😊

Yay

Hellooo! I'm back to studio to watch another cool video! :D

Great video. Couldn’t you use the education discount being a professor? I think the Pro would have been a better buy for your editing needs. More cores, RAM and storage for the semi professional and professional user.

Annapro is now crowdfunding a v2. I ordered one.

hey doc, all that blue light is bad for your eyes. p.s. what's your favorite position when in bed with an apple device?

A day later and nobody mentioned “16mb” being mentioned near the start (and also end) of the video? Internet you're slipping ;-)

16GB of Ram? Ay caramba!

Wow I’d not heard that figure of 13x faster than the fastest intel based Mac Mini. I guess that must be the i7 Mac Mini which I have, or was there a faster one which I have forgotten?

I talked myself into an M1 Ultra Mac Studio a couple years ago with a 5 year commitment, and it was costly but has been worth it for being able to run image generation and LLMs at home. Now these little M4 powerhouses have me thinking my next upgrade is going to be a mini, unless the next Mac Studio has something extra extra going on. By the time I do the upgrade who knows where we’ll be, with M6 probably smoking the M4. Whatever ends up happening at that time, it’s never been more affordable to be a creator on the Mac platform.

best youtuber ever! I love the camara changes for comments

I ordered the M4 Pro mini to pair with my AVP, and I’ll be retiring my Intel iMac and MacBook Pro. I went with the Pro because of the Thunderbolt 5 and additional memory bandwidth. I figure that will give me 2 or 3 additional years out of it. The only disappointment is WiFi 6e instead of 7.

Yeah, that entry level Mac mini deal is irresistible. Preordered it as soon as it was announced.

Where do you put the floppy disk?😊

When you said the new iMac is 6 times faster than the Intel iMac, is that the M4 or the M4 Pro? I’ve got the Intel iMac and wondering what to do. Although I’ll probably lean towards the Mini this time because it bugs me no end that i can’t repurpose the great iMac display in the new setup.

Nice review! +1 sub

This is a friendly, old dude noodling and rambling not particularly professionally about his tech hobbies. Turns out this content appeals to me as I'm also a friendly, old dude noodling and rambling not particularly professionally about my tech hobbies. Buddy, don't change. Keep it unpolished and casual. Subscribed.

After 2 years of use. Do you suggest to buy the wireless bass pro or just the wireless speakers are enough? Does wireless bass pro adds good immersion and experience?

My problem described perfectly. Thank you.

Dr. Wiggo, Thanks for the update. I wanted to correct something you mentioned about 3D movies on the Apple Vision Pro. The truth is most 3D movies on the Apple Vision Pro ARE NOT in 4K, and I'm of course not talking about the 180 immersive content. As someone who owns the majority of 3D films on Bluray, that also appear on the Apple Vision Pro, 95+ percent of them are only the 1080p versions that come on the Blurays. The Avatar movies are 4K for sure, and maybe a handful on Disney +, but the majority are just upscaled, at best, 1080p. And some are SO SOFT, that it doesn't look like Apple even bothered upscaling. I'd love Apple to invest in 4K versions for all 3D movies on the Apple Vision Pro, but by not revealing the resolution of these films day one, I feel it's deceptive on Apple's part, because like you, I just assumed they'd all be 4K. Sure, Apple can claim, "we never said these movies were all in 4K," put that's just a lack of candor by omission, because of the constant messaging by Apple on the 4K specs of the hardware. Just wanted to help you out here as I pretty much own every 3D movie released on Bluray. Have a great one! vgv

So just to be clear…I can copy all my save data & screenshots and things over to my m.2, uninstall from current PS5 and plug into new PS5 and it will all be available on the new PS5?

I really love my AVP! I use it to watch content and it is amazing with a huge screen. Submerged was excellent! I look forward to more submersive videos like this!

I think im going to watch again. This time while i listen to orchestra music. The Toyota dealership in my area was actually sell under MSRP. Honda was ask 3k over.

Great video as always. Submerged is the new gold standard for Vision Pro (app or content). Highly recommend people try it and hopeful in-store demos can show a clip of it.

Your dad did a good job, without him we wouldn’t have the great Dr. Wiggo! 😊

Love your vids. I really enjoyed Submerged. Loving my AVP. I hope Apple doesn't abandon it. I'm having great fun using the 2D to 3D photo feature in the OS 2. Seeing old photos of my family converted into 3D has been a real treat.

Great real world review. I'm looking to pick up a Ats premium performance rwd, this review helps!

Such a fun unboxing 😊

This is the video I didn't know I needed - THANK YOU. Out of curiosity, how come you didn't go for the i10? Would that extra layer of cushion have avoided the tempurpedic layer?

That is why I am using Linux instead. It just works. For Windows users that wanne try out Linux that WORKS right out of the work, try Linux Mint. I have gone further and are using CachyOS, Arch Based, and OMG I LOVE IT! Installing a printer on Linux are just so EASY and then, just hit print and yes,. its just print.

Thank you sir!!!

I have the Annapro V2 and can highly recommend it. It’s more adjustable than the V1 and even more comfortable. You’re going to love it!

Excellent. Thank you Dr Wiggo!

I’m back for another Vision Pro update!!

Lake Vrangla is in Krokstadelva, Norway.

Hey Dr.! The Bose Soundlink max is great too

It was a little creepy when you called me out in the intro, but, uh… hi, Doc!

I can’t presume that I am the “Tim “you may be referring to. But you made my day!😊
