WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.099 look it's another Mac Mini Apple's cheapest computer and this time it has 00:00:05.640 --> 00:00:11.940 M2 it looks pretty much the same on the outside it's a Mac Mini we got some 00:00:10.380 --> 00:00:17.160 specs this is the eight Gigabyte model 256 gig storage Encore CPU 10 core GPU 00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:21.900 that's not the pro one which is actually kind of cool that's a new product the 00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:25.140 previous Mac Mini did not have a pro you had to go to the Mac Studio but ours we 00:00:23.820 --> 00:00:29.220 expect it with 10 gig internet so it's not here yet this is a very form-fitting 00:00:27.720 --> 00:00:33.239 box actually I guess I should use the Apple thing 00:00:31.260 --> 00:00:37.079 look at that you wouldn't want to ship this without some extra foam because the 00:00:35.160 --> 00:00:40.440 box is not doing anything it seems like an unnecessary piece of plastic I'm not 00:00:38.760 --> 00:00:44.040 gonna lie like what are they protecting does this get scratched easily it 00:00:42.239 --> 00:00:49.020 doesn't seem like it all right what else is in the Box here propaganda cable I 00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:54.140 pity the person in the Apple Factory who has to like assemble these paper things 00:00:54.140 --> 00:01:01.680 this is awful and that's it no power 00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:04.379 brick wow that's a big apple sticker 00:01:01.680 --> 00:01:06.960 whoa let's just upgrade this thing right now look at how much more Apple we're 00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:12.960 gonna have oh oh that's brutal that's brutal I'm 00:01:11.460 --> 00:01:17.040 sorry that was not intentional it's just so sticky on the outside we have a 00:01:14.700 --> 00:01:21.840 beautiful Apple sticker and logo on the front oh yeah there's a little power LED 00:01:19.320 --> 00:01:27.000 there side nothing other side also nothing but on the back ooh power button 00:01:24.600 --> 00:01:31.200 our power jack one gig Ethernet you can also spec it with 10 if you want got two 00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:35.280 Thunderbolt four ports HDMI two USB a ports headphone jack and a little 00:01:33.540 --> 00:01:39.420 cooling vent if you upgrade to the pro model you get four Thunderbolt ports 00:01:36.960 --> 00:01:43.200 like the Max studio but other than that it's the same i o as last time I think 00:01:41.220 --> 00:01:47.460 it's HDMI 2.1 now so we're gonna have to try that later with the TV over there 00:01:45.299 --> 00:01:54.299 um the specs page was not super clear about that it doesn't say HDMI 2.1 but 00:01:50.399 --> 00:01:57.299 it does say you can do 4K I think 144 no 00:01:54.299 --> 00:01:59.399 4K 240 I thought it said and 8K 60 at 00:01:57.299 --> 00:02:03.240 the very least it's not like rubbery at all so it doesn't 00:02:01.140 --> 00:02:07.799 doesn't keep it in place you know like you could curl with this thing very 00:02:05.340 --> 00:02:10.860 Sleek I think the top is actually oh yeah yeah it's got It's got more 00:02:09.119 --> 00:02:13.860 friction on the top than the bottom it's really bad 00:02:12.660 --> 00:02:19.739 it's like it's even got bubbles underneath it I'm usually the kind of 00:02:16.140 --> 00:02:21.239 guy that leaves it to troll you but 00:02:19.739 --> 00:02:24.720 it's actually bugging me at this point so I'm gonna oh so much better in terms 00:02:22.980 --> 00:02:29.940 of the internal specs of course the CPU is an M2 instead of an M1 you can go up 00:02:27.180 --> 00:02:34.260 to 24 gigs of RAM instead of 16 you do get the nice prores encode and decode 00:02:31.920 --> 00:02:37.920 engine on the M2 the max storage is still two terabytes on the non-pro but 00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:42.540 if you go up to the M2 pro version you can go up to a 12 core CPU or 19 core 00:02:40.379 --> 00:02:46.500 GPU you get 200 gigabytes per second of memory bandwidth instead of 100 you can 00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:50.040 do up to 32 gigs of RAM and up to eight terabytes of storage any of the models 00:02:48.300 --> 00:02:53.220 can be spec with 10 gig internet on the standard port or you can use a dongle 00:02:51.720 --> 00:02:57.180 with the Thunderbolt that works too other than that pretty much the same I 00:02:55.739 --> 00:03:01.800 guess we should turn it off but now before I tell you about our sponsor secret lab their chairs are designed to 00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:06.120 keep you comfortable for those long nights of work and play and their Titan 00:03:03.720 --> 00:03:09.900 Evo 2022 series chair offers four-way lumbar support comes with a magnetic 00:03:07.980 --> 00:03:13.319 memory foam head pillow and is offered in different upholsteries like hybrid 00:03:11.220 --> 00:03:16.860 leatherette soft weave fabric and Napa leather best of all a five-year extended 00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:19.560 warranty is included along with a 49 day return policy so you're covered if 00:03:18.420 --> 00:03:24.120 anything goes wrong head to the link down in the description to check out secret lab today the cool thing about 00:03:22.440 --> 00:03:28.080 the pro one which we haven't gotten yet is it has the same i o as the Mac Studio 00:03:26.640 --> 00:03:31.800 and that was like kind of one of their things it's got so much connectivity 00:03:29.700 --> 00:03:35.340 this one has two ports but the pro has four and that's that's the same one 00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:38.420 thing I would say about these it would be cool if Apple 00:03:41.819 --> 00:03:47.159 it would be cool it would be cool if Apple added like two 00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:49.920 type c ports to the front like not everyone wants to plug everything in the 00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:54.420 back especially if you're charging your mouse from the bottom of the Mouse ah 00:03:52.379 --> 00:03:59.700 something else I didn't mention this Mac Mini has Wi-Fi 6E which can do like 00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:04.739 above gigabit speed so despite the Ethernet port being gigabit you can do 00:04:01.860 --> 00:04:08.519 like 1.5 gig on the Wi-Fi so the Wi-Fi might actually be faster than Ethernet 00:04:06.780 --> 00:04:14.700 on this particular one maybe I should charge this 00:04:11.099 --> 00:04:20.239 no Andrew it looks stupid hi 00:04:14.700 --> 00:04:20.239 Apple it's stupid it's so stupid 00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:26.520 slight correction the studio does technically have more i o it has two 00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:29.160 Thunderbolts on the front and an SD card reader so there's a little bit more 00:04:27.840 --> 00:04:31.740 which is what they should do on this thing but then how would they sell the 00:04:30.840 --> 00:04:38.340 studio all right the first thing I want to see is this wi-fi 60 is it fast is it truly 00:04:35.580 --> 00:04:42.900 brutally fast we don't have any Wi-Fi 60 devices connected so theoretically this 00:04:40.139 --> 00:04:48.900 should be very fast wow truly astonishing not not that fast I 00:04:47.100 --> 00:04:53.100 mean the AP is like pretty far it's in the ceiling probably 20 feet away 700 00:04:50.940 --> 00:04:58.800 megabits pretty good for Wi-Fi okay so Wi-Fi 6E pretty sick I think if you had 00:04:56.340 --> 00:05:04.500 your AP closer you could do even better I personally have tested Wi-Fi 6E at 00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:07.979 like one and a half gigabit which is the double even what we had here so it's 00:05:06.960 --> 00:05:13.320 fast though I like that they're including it I hope the new iPhone has it too it's fine it's you know one and a 00:05:11.880 --> 00:05:18.180 half gigabytes a second both ways it's fine to go to the 512 gig that would be 00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:23.940 faster you're looking at you know an extra 200 so for the price it's not bad 00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:29.520 let's try pass Mark yeah so it's like 6.8 6.9 percent I mean there's a lot 00:05:27.479 --> 00:05:33.960 less samples but I mean for for one year seven percent it's not bad what score 00:05:31.380 --> 00:05:37.740 did we get 16 000 wow the thing to consider is that this M2 Chip is going 00:05:35.880 --> 00:05:41.699 to be in a bunch of different devices so a bunch of the samples for this could 00:05:39.419 --> 00:05:46.080 have been done in a like a MacBook Air that doesn't have additional Cooling and 00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:49.620 that could hurt what I'm curious about is if this thing thermal throttles they 00:05:48.180 --> 00:05:53.580 may just testing endurance I think this is the one yeah 00:05:51.660 --> 00:05:57.240 this one okay cool I believe this is made by the same guy 00:05:55.860 --> 00:06:00.960 yeah it's made by the same guy that makes TG Pro which is a really great app 00:05:58.919 --> 00:06:05.039 for monitoring your Mac you can see all the different statistics we do have a 00:06:02.820 --> 00:06:08.639 license don't worry if we bought many he also gave us some but I don't want to 00:06:07.380 --> 00:06:13.919 type in the server credentials so I'm just going to use the trial don't get mad at me I love you this is obviously 00:06:11.220 --> 00:06:17.400 not a super realistic test because it is just cranking the CPU at 100 but it will 00:06:16.320 --> 00:06:23.100 be interesting to see if it does throttle we're only at 60 degrees I 00:06:20.539 --> 00:06:28.319 suspect that this will not throttle easily it's still at the minimum 1700 00:06:26.039 --> 00:06:32.699 RPM speed doesn't really seem like it's getting any hotter which is great so 00:06:31.080 --> 00:06:35.940 you're at least getting the full fat performance out of this M2 Chip I mean 00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:41.699 it's an efficient chip we knew that but great cool I want to know if it has a 00:06:38.520 --> 00:06:43.860 speaker I'm sorry buddy oh it does have 00:06:41.699 --> 00:06:48.360 a speaker maybe it's just bad when it's facing at you foreign 00:06:46.500 --> 00:06:51.780 so let's let's try to be a little more realistic about how this would be set up 00:06:50.280 --> 00:06:54.900 if this was on my desk so it's over there there would be a wall behind me 00:06:53.400 --> 00:06:59.479 probably in the real world but we're just going to ignore that part sounds 00:06:56.400 --> 00:06:59.479 pretty tingy so far 00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:04.340 let's max out 00:07:08.340 --> 00:07:15.240 it's like serviceable I think if all you were 00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:17.840 trying to do is not play music you just 00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:22.500 need to do like a video call anything that's not music it would be 00:07:20.880 --> 00:07:26.639 okay what about like what about like Linus talking 00:07:24.500 --> 00:07:30.979 ShortCircuit Yeah well yeah but you don't want to watch short circles 00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:36.240 is a computer it's pretty tingy now what I'm curious 00:07:33.479 --> 00:07:42.440 about is is my iPhone better or worse well MacBooks okay Apple laptops 00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:42.440 MacBooks way better for sure 00:07:46.819 --> 00:07:52.800 I'm pretty sure the iPhone sounds better it's not great 00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:55.440 um do Apple monitors have speakers in them because I mean this obviously 00:07:54.060 --> 00:07:58.800 doesn't have a monitor you're going to need to buy a monitor that's part of why 00:07:57.060 --> 00:08:02.220 it's so cheap but if all the Apple monitors have speakers and they're like 00:08:00.180 --> 00:08:06.660 decent then I guess it's less of a less of a concern either way integrated 00:08:04.020 --> 00:08:10.860 speakers worse than an iPhone not by much but a little bit worse I would say 00:08:08.280 --> 00:08:14.220 headphones airpods you can use airpods airpods are great should we take it 00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:18.900 apart now oh okay look at this computer how do we do this does anybody know 00:08:15.900 --> 00:08:18.900 bellavonts 00:08:19.280 --> 00:08:25.259 what cool that was really easy to get off 00:08:23.039 --> 00:08:28.860 actually oh there's little like rubber thingies that sit on the screws okay 00:08:26.940 --> 00:08:32.760 that seems pretty serviceable so far there's a little 00:08:30.479 --> 00:08:36.240 screw holding the Wi-Fi connector on it's very common for people to take 00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:39.899 their devices apart and just rip the Wi-Fi antenna out so it's very good that 00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:43.440 they put that there okay I got it off and I didn't break it 00:08:41.520 --> 00:08:46.980 hey this is so I mean in terms of serviceability this 00:08:45.899 --> 00:08:50.519 the little presumably BIOS batteries right there 00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:54.540 this has got to be the power supply over here wow it's so smart okay look at this 00:08:52.680 --> 00:08:58.800 see how it's at an angle this part is that an angle it's so you can get a 00:08:57.240 --> 00:09:03.240 screwdriver in there a normal screwdriver and you don't need like a 00:09:00.899 --> 00:09:07.740 really short custom like stubby one that would fit straight it's at an angle 00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:12.899 I mean I don't know what genius it's just reasonably smart I refuse to 00:09:10.980 --> 00:09:16.620 acknowledge that this is such a there's like nothing in here why don't they make 00:09:14.160 --> 00:09:21.060 this thing smaller it's it's like half it's half empty I don't 00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:26.940 know how to take off man they are vibing with those dumpsters 00:09:26.940 --> 00:09:30.140 that was pretty brutal I'm sorry 00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:42.060 cool pretty sure this part just like kind of Vibes off 00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:46.200 hey there we go okay wow so there's the chassis with the 00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:49.740 power supply nice little integrated unit I don't know how to take that part out 00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:54.180 um oh there's a screw right there it's probably not that hard but I don't need to do that I think the power spy can 00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:59.940 just chill in there and then this is the actual board oh there's the speaker 00:09:57.500 --> 00:10:05.399 that's why it sounds like garbage it's inside it would fire almost entirely up 00:10:03.540 --> 00:10:08.160 into the metal but there is little vents here so that's 00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:12.480 the only place you're getting the audio from that would explain why it's kind of 00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:16.760 crap that's probably storage right there do I dare take the heatsink off 00:10:17.339 --> 00:10:21.839 well I'm not I'm not worried about it 00:10:20.580 --> 00:10:28.440 there's a lot of little things on the back of this board you could very easily knock off this whole thing this fascia 00:10:25.320 --> 00:10:30.120 piece is connected here so taking it off 00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:34.019 means the whole back thing is just vibing now 00:10:31.680 --> 00:10:38.580 okay well that's not that bad hey heatsink 00:10:35.640 --> 00:10:42.720 little tiny processor it's kind of interesting that it's like half of an 00:10:40.260 --> 00:10:47.519 IHS it's like cut and then they have the memory solder to it it's very cute 00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:50.420 um I'm gonna reuse the stock thermal paste so that 00:10:50.459 --> 00:10:59.100 not really like altered characteristics hey it's back together look at that it's 00:10:55.380 --> 00:11:01.260 a Mac Mini now to talk pricing this 00:10:59.100 --> 00:11:06.240 particular one with eight gigabytes of RAM and 256 gigs of storage is 5.99 00:11:04.140 --> 00:11:10.560 which is Apple's cheapest computer it's almost half the price of an iPhone 14 00:11:07.980 --> 00:11:15.959 pro if you want to upgrade the storage or the CPU or anything else that starts 00:11:13.740 --> 00:11:20.579 to add up very quickly like I said before it's 200 to go to the 00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:26.220 512 version so that's 7.99 and if you go to the pro which has a 10 core CPU 16 00:11:23.100 --> 00:11:29.640 core GPU 16 gigs of RAM and a 5 12 gig 00:11:26.220 --> 00:11:31.560 SSD 12.99 but you do also get two extra 00:11:29.640 --> 00:11:34.620 Thunderbolt ports on the back if you're in the market for a small computer from 00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:38.279 Apple and you don't want to spend a lot of money this is a great option if you 00:11:36.420 --> 00:11:41.820 like this video like it get subscribed if you want to see other Apple content 00:11:39.959 --> 00:11:46.940 maybe check out the M2 laptops that Alex just did 00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:46.940 um they're also pretty cool
