Yes like all other people, I also got my first Mac Mini. :woot:

As soon as I opened the box... I was speechless. Its so fing small. Compared to my humangous full tower (which barely fits under my table) its looks 10x times better. Plus guess what guys. I also got the 20 incher Cinema Display to go with it. OMG its sooooooo sleek. Ofcourse I had to get the matching keyboard and mouse. First I was going to get the wireless but then I thought I wouldnt be using it wireless capabilities.

After firing this mini baby up I passed through the easy setup and Lo Behold I am using MAC OSx for the first time in my life. No restarting !!! finally. I can not believe its running on 256MB RAM and 32MB video card. Its flawless. So smooth. No glitchs nothing.

Now I have to install Tiger in it. I was so excited that I had to try it out. I have to get used to some things but I have learned a lot of things already.

Before any of you say that you could have bought any other lcd let me tell you guys why I got it.

I had a replacment plan for my older 17incher studio display. Ofcourse they didnt have them in stock (discontinued item ;) ) so they gave me a $700 Gift Card :woot: You know the rest :p

And the other reason I got this is beacause........ It looks so SLLEEEEEEEK.

Right now I have to figure out how to network my PC and MAC. I know how to do it but I need to figure out if I'm going to use router or just a crossover cable. Or I might as well make my internal HDD (Personal Stuff, Media, etc) external. It seems that I need to get a USB hub or something too many stuff with USB.

More pictures to come soon :)

Just installed Tiger. Took quite a while but its expected so no big deal.

It does get kinda slow here and there but I'm quite impress how MM handles itself. Still more RAM is needed. Ill try using the 512MB stick from my PC.

The retail for the monitor is $799

With the $700 gift card it cost me around $100

LOLz @ paycheck

no i had to sell my car to get that :p

for real I had some money saved for this. Plus I got it financed so that kinda lightens the load.

I was under the impression that PC RAM wouldn't work in the MM. Is this true or not? I don't own a Mac but I'm buying one soon, that's why I ask.

    • yeah it seems to be Edge only. The dialog buttons work as expected in Chrome and Firefox. The phone is using Android 16 (OneUI 8.5) and Edge version  149.0.4022.53
    • I'm not aware of this issue, but to help the other guys.  What version of Android are you using? Did you try a different browser? To see if Edge is the issue here.
    • I agree when are you going to read this (really poor BTW) article? Here is a better article so you actually know what is going on and answers questions you had in other comments --> https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/05/speed-boosting-low-latency-profile-is-one-of-the-improvements-coming-to-windows-11/ It is unclear if one will be able to disable the new profile at this point but I am not seeing any reason why one would.
