Thanks for the info. More than likely if I did get back into FFXIV then I’d probably use it on my M1 mini that I use for a media center in my tv, but it was just a thought. Thanks all!

I'd get 16GB, especially if you're going to play games or do anything graphics-intensive, since the graphics obviously share that RAM

I don’t have any issues with games or FFXIV on my 16gb pro.

Just venting guys but man I was so utterly pissed the genius bar determined me closing and opening my screen was my fault for damage and I had to pay the 99 dollars. I just got the thing last Friday.

I'm prettysure you can run two monitors on the M1 Mac Mini's, one via HDMI and one vis USB-C. From: https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-mini/connect-a-display-apd8e4fbbb97/mac quote:For Mac mini with Apple M1 chip, you can connect one external display up to 6K using a Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) port, and one external display up to 4K using the HDMI 2.0 port.

It may be more of an issue with my secondary monitor itself, but I'm planning to just bypass the whole issue by switching to a single 34" ultra wide.

Bah, I wasn’t aware of that, good news! But the HDMI caps out at what resolution? Maybe I’m waiting for it to support 3 then.

Not sure why I had hdmi capping at 1440p in my head, I'll be damned. I'll sit tight to see if there's a pre Christmas refresh (unlikely) and jump on a 16gb next time I get a chance. My current set up uses 3 monitors but I want to move up to an UW 49" so that would change things. Thanks!

japtor posted:I vaguely recall reading about some weird ultrawide issues on the M1 Macs, like it wouldn't run full resolution despite being lower than the 16:9 supported resolutions and having the right cables and such. Pretty sure there's some billion page thread on the macrumors forums about it. Thanks for the heads up, it looks like Apple acknowledge the issue back in December but I can't find a follow-up that they resolved it. Perhaps this huge UW is not the panacea that I'm envisioning, but the idea sure is awesome.

It probably leads to quicker battery life degradation, but I don't think you're seriously endangering the safety of the device.

I mean the M1 is in an iPad now which is an even smaller and more thermally constrained chassis than the MacBook Air and they're not burning off any fingertips as far as I know

i've been on the market for a windows laptop for literally like 10 months and i'm giving up on anyone ever shipping a good product so now i'm sighing and looking at macbooks i know we've got the big macbook event coming up in a month or two, but my understanding is that that's gonna be a $1800+ pro refresh, right? if i'm on the market for something in the $1000-$1200 range i should be fine to get an m1 air now, right? i see apple has some refurb m1 MBAs with 16 gigs of ram on their site, which ship faster than the two week lead time for getting a new one with 16GB - any reason to be worried about getting a refurb, especially if i'm buying applecare+? seems like with such a closed system it's not really any different from getting a new one, other than that they had to do a system reset and do a clorox wipedown or whatever then again, now i see https://www.techspot.com/news/91185-apple-faces-potential-class-action-lawsuit-over-cracking.html and maybe i just will never get a personal laptop again and i should just get an ipad or something abraham linksys fucked around with this message at 18:53 on Sep 10, 2021 |

Yeah my rule has generally been "between 5 and 7 years" for a laptop and it's worked out pretty well for me for a long time now. Honesty I would have replaced my 2015 MBP that I'm still using a while ago but 2 things: COVID hosed me in 2020 and then I spent every cent of new computer money I could on my new 12.9" iPad Pro M1 earlier this year. I'm still thinking of replacing this thing but honestly my main complaints with it are not big enough yet to really spend a bunch of money.

Is the M1 ipad pro a noticeable improvement over the previous versions? I don't need a new iPad yet but mine's the first gen pro from 2015 so I am more aware of it's potential to die randomly with each passing year so I wanna know what my best options are. I use it for internet stuff but also heavily for Procreate and Clip Studio to a lesser extent
