Q: QuestionWill this Mini handle running a DAW by PreSonus as a personal recording studio. Wasn't sure if you would have latency issues due to lack of power. Storage could be an issue where the software takes up a ton of space too. Thanks

Asked 2 years ago by PeteSake.

• A:Answer I dont personally have PreSonus daw, but I run Logic Pro. I've used Macs, Mac Air, and about a month ago Ive upgraded from MacBook Air M1 chip with 8gb ram, to this Mac Mini M2 with 16 GB, and its very powerful for my needs. Unless you work with orchestral tracks, where you need 70 or more tracks running simultaneously, this should handle anything you throw at it. I mainly record and mix pop, rock metal, jazz, dance and Ive has no issues qith it at all. Its quick, its powerful for these application, so I do recommend it. Bow, as to the storage, you can always just buy an external ssd and youll be set. It's cheaper this way too, then getting mac with more ssd. I have 2 ssd 1TB sized that I use, 1 for extra plug ins and libraries, and 1 strictly for back ups.

Q: QuestionWill I be able to control the audio and the brightness from a keyboard while using the Mac mini?

Asked 2 years ago by Skinks.

• A:Answer Yes. But the speaker in the Mini is very poor. I got a small sound bar and Bluetoothed it, which works very well. I also have three screens. You will need a USB-C to HDMI adapter to add each of the second and third screens. Went from Mac to this Mini and do not regret it at all.

Q: QuestionIs it good for running games

Asked 2 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer The Apple Mac mini with the M2 Pro Chip is a powerful desktop computer known for its impressive performance, but it may not be the best choice for running demanding PC games. While the M2 Pro Chip offers excellent processing power, the Mac mini is not optimized for gaming in the same way that gaming-specific PCs or consoles are. The Mac mini is primarily designed for productivity, content creation, and general use, making it a strong choice for tasks like video editing, software development, and everyday computing. It can handle less resource-intensive games or older titles, but it's not equipped with a dedicated gaming graphics card, which can limit its performance for modern, high-end gaming. If you're primarily interested in gaming, you may want to consider a gaming PC or a gaming console like the Xbox or PlayStation, which are specifically designed and optimized for gaming. While the Mac mini can handle a variety of tasks exceptionally well, gaming enthusiasts may find it better to invest in a system built with gaming in mind.

Q: QuestionDoes the M2 Pro/16G/512G version have one of the infamous slower 512 SSD chip or does it have two 256G SSD chips running in parallel that are faster and better performing?

Asked 3 years ago by JakeC.

• A:Answer From what I understand, if it has a 512Gb SDD listed then it has two (2) NAND storage chips, which would be about the speed of a typical PCIe3 NVMe (approx 3GB/s). It seems the more chips, the faster. Therefore the 256GB SSD is the slowest at approx. 50% of that and the 1TB SSD is approx. 50% faster. There seem to be no plans by Apple to correct this.

Asked 3 years ago by Gustler.

• A:Answer I don’t think you can since Best Buy only offers the base machines. If you want increased RSM or Storage, you would need to go to Apple or Bell & Howell or a similar site.
