Can I put a 5800x3d in this thing
Does the internal drive work over the usbc connection without the other usbc to usba power connected?
I’d have to double check. It would make sense if it did work off the usbc power. Maybe the usba is for the other functions.
Are you still planning on doing the Side by Side test with the 100 and under wattage?
I received mine in the mail a couple of days ago and just tried to plug in my phone to the usb, and it's not working. It's a big bummer. Didn't get the nice case, either.
Did you turn on the dc ports?
I bought an alleged 8Ah battery and it weighed less than a genuine 4Ah. Nothing but thievery! I’ll be sticking to genuine batteries.
I bought a 4ah and a 6ah and they were the same size and felt to weigh the same. I opened them up and both had the same battery pack inside built with cells labeled as a total of 4ah. If they performed like a 4ah they would be a good deal. They don't. They test less than my authentic 2ah batteries.
@Sylvan_dB crazy! It’s a shame they can get away with that.
Installed Ventura on a 2011 Macbook Air...Excellent! Now to find a good use for it. :-)
How should the thumb drive be formatted? Running into issues where the "Bytes Written" stops cold around 128MB or doesn't even get started. Thanks
This is me replying to myself...it seems that it needs to be ExFAT...when I format it before installing, it runs smoothly...sometimes it seems like I can almost read my mind..
Great video! When my SSD and new battery comes, I will attempt this. I will also attempt this with a macbook air 11" 4,1
This is the exact upgrade I made last week. The 2020 M1 16gb, was running perfectly fine, but for $599 the deal was too good to pass up for this M4. Was curious about the actual speed tests, thank you for posting this!
is this compatible for flydiji apex 2 controller (with ps4)?
I have one the same size but no were does it say were to plug a charger and when I ordered mine did they offer a charger not even one you could order. On the device it's self it should be charged price of the device. It's why to this day I wouldn't order another
The manual shows which ports you can charge with. And as far as chargers go, Anker is one of the leading charger brands, so I’m pretty sure you can find a charger quite easily. Of course, it would be easier if they included the charger, but they probably want to keep that cost out since most people have a PD charger of some sort.
Sucks that you cannot repair it when damages happen, or expand the ram. But hay, who knows what will happen. Nice review.
Luckily they’re pretty reliable. But you’re right, I wish the ram was user upgradable. Thanks for watching!
Thanks Sir! You really sound great with the xlr and 3.5mm connection. The sound of the music was great and clear to me. I will be using it for live singing on TicTock, FB, recording and live streaming online. I think is is well worth the money. Again, the sound was very clear! Thanks you!
Can I use this adapter to connect a Nintendo switch controller to a ps5 and play ps5 games
According to their website, the PS5 is not on the console list. Just the PS4.
Cool man. i got one several years ago at an estate sale pick and i'm just now getting to use it. ALways good to have an extra charged power bank lying around.
I believe the ssd speeds on the base m4 mini are slower relative to a 512gb and higher disk of the m1. If you up the m4 ssd to a 512gb version or higher, you'll likely see faster speeds from it than the m1, though maybe not by a lot.
According Tomsguide and the Verge, the the 512gd offers a small increase in speed(around 6 percent). However, the pro version increases the SSD performance by around 85 percent. The absurdly priced pro 4TB increases that to basically double of the base model, although that's a $1,200 upgrade to go up to 4TB from 512GB.
My external tb4 drive is 60% faster than the internal ssd in my m4 base model. My m1 MBP is even faster than that. I hope, that apple will work on that issue with a firmware update.
it looks butt ugly
Video showed nothing about actually setting up the system, what files you need and where to get them, nothing.
i have 2 devices: X - Laptop (where i use discord to chat with friends, i use it like my main pc) Y - DesktopPC (i use it only for gaming) what would be the best setup to hear both devices with one headphone?
Thanks so much for doing this! I’ve been hoping to see a video like this since the Mac Mini M4 was first announced.
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
i can make a lot of money, once again thank you!
thanks
Thanks for the great video. I have “labeled” thumb drives of various macOS versions. I had never considered having a single thumb drive containing multiple OS versions. Looks like I’m going to create a master thumb drive. Thank again.
Thanks for watching! Have fun making your drive of power!
No hang strap included?
The strap is sold separately for both this model and the 300 (non DC). This model comes with the hand strap.
@ Thanks because I saw a post on Reddit saying the long strap was free at checkout on Amazon but is not. For $29 it’s ridiculous.
Very impressive!
Did not help at all for what I'm trying to do
What are you trying to do?
Great video and explanation. I just bought a used PS4 pro, thinking of doing this to mine. As I don't have any games saved, would all I need to do is to reinstall the operating software?
Yes. If you don’t need to save anything, skip that part and just install the new drive and install the operating system. Good luck!
Hi mr geekery would a crucial P3 plus 4TB OR EVER 2 fit into my old i7 MAC mini ora better way to do it Cheers keep up the great work !! Cheers Brian
The Thunderbolt ports on the back of the base unit are Thunderbolt 4 not Thunderbolt 5
My mistake. They kept bouncing between M4 and M4 Pro on the announcement. I guess the Pro has the TB5 ports. Still more bandwidth then I can afford to use, lol. Thanks for catching my error!
Wow it’s amazing fast
Thank you and great work
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video. I connected my mini DP Cinema Display to my new Mac mini M4, the display works great but I am not able to select the Cinema Display for Audio. Do you know if I need to connect the USB cable from the Cinema Display to a USB to USB C connector to get Audio? Thanks in advance for your response.
That’s a good question. I’ll have to try that out. It’s very possible that the miniDP adapter doesn’t account for audio.
@@FamilyGeekery I also noticed that you cannot adjust the display brightness. I am going to try connecting the USB cable from the Cinema Display to the Mac Mini M4 via a USB to USB C adaptor since the Mac mini M4 no longer has USB ports. Cheers for the reply.
Problem solved. I picked up a USB-C to USB cable from the Apple Store. I now have audio, I can adjust the brightness on the Cinema Display and the built-in camera works. Thanks again for your previous response. Cheers.
I tried doing this but got an error saying “An internal error occurred while preflighting your volume for APFS conversion” is there a way to fix this issue?
Thank you!
I'm looking for meta quest earbuds that can play quest audio over the dongle and bluetooth audio from a PC at the *same time*. Do you know if these can do that? I bought the Vega prism XR 's which are awesome but they can only play audio from the dongle or from the PC but not both at the same time. They can with an android phone for like taking a phone call but that's the only thing that can play audio along side the dongle.
SAFE MODE STUCK = USE DATA CABLE FOR CONTROLLER,IT WORKS
Going to try and get mines today for my Razer Edge 5g
Hi! Great instructions but i want to know witch version of Apple system you instal on your mini 2014. I can't install the latest one from Plex because i still work with Sierra and Final Cut 7 for old editing and Aperture 3.6. Unfortunately my Final Cut studio won't function with High Sierra. Thanks in advance for a response. ;-)
Thankyou!
Does this work with a PS5 Duel Sense Edge Pro
So technically river 3 is a downgrade from river 2. They also reduced its capacity.
True, but to be fair, they seemed to have reduced the price also. It launched with a pretty hefty discount, which I thought was weird. With all the competition out there, they probably made some decisions based on target price.
@@FamilyGeekery River 2 here is much cheaper then the 3
Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries will require you to initiate a charge to "wake up" the battery.
4:06 Apple silicon.
Yup! Good catch! I didn’t catch it during editing, lol. Now it’s there for good!
What do you think? Would you buy one?
does it enable audio on the headphone jack from the dualsense plugged to a ps3?
nice video you might want to test out even some Windows titles via Crossover or Whisky (which is free) also a direct comparison with the M1 mini would be interesting. cheers
"Tiny and powerful" That's what she said.

so its not a good idea to use the old hardrive and install windows on it?
Awesome video... Just a quick question.. I have a EARLY 2015 MacBook pro 13" retina Intel running Mojave and just about to replace the 128Gb SSD with a Thirdparty 1TB SSD. I have been told that Mac OS sometimes will fail to load/update its OS if it sees a 'non mac' SSD. How can I get around this and 'fool' the OS into installing the OS. Btw I think my machine, because of its age, will only update to Monterey. Thanks
There are so many fake batteries on the market. My Tengmengte 6" chainsaw supposedly had a 10Ah battery, but it was clearly 2Ah due to size. It performed just like a 2Ah, about 30 minutes of cutting relatively small branches. I knew it was a lie before purchase but contacted the company anyway. I was told the battery was 5 - 2Ah connected in series. Whoever wrote that statement didn't know much about series and parallel wiring. I figured the little chainsaw would be good, and it has been.
