Hi all,
In a follow up to the last thread I started "Hate Windows Rant" I was also upset about the pricing of the Mac Mini.
Anyway, again, I am just in thinking stage. By that I mean, is it something I really want and not just a whim? I have a fully functional late model Windows 10 computer.
I have multiple quality computers that are unused because of age that would work with Linux. Without question we are are Win 10 family but not dependent in anyway on WIndows 10.
Anyway, with cash to burn on something I would never bother buying (cash back form credit cards) I do have the option to buy a Mac mini.
I would love some feedback from those in the Mac World. Both good and bad.
Lets face it, I already know SOME things may not work on the MAC system. But form what I understand, MAC is much more secure and maybe a bit more ethical in trying to protect my privacy compared to Windows?
But I assume anything that has to do with banking, buying and selling stuff and using online web hosting(not a deal breaker if not) companies the Mac would be fine.
Email from any companty will work, such as protonmail
So what is the drawback?
I assume just about any monitor will work, I know it has firewire but can also use HDMI.
What have you done about keyboards/mouse?
Do you use Apple products or after market?
Im thinking of the mini with 256GB sold state, 8 gb of standard, I5 and absolutely has to be the new 2018+ model
