TPC Mac User's Thread

  • ^mid 2011 yun mac mini binigay sakin. used to be lion os pero ngayon yosemite.
  • Mga sirs, in your opinion, worth it pa ba bumili ng Mac Mini (Late 2012)?
  • ^Depende sa price and sa pag gamit.
  • @smuggy
    13k po. For browsing, light Photoshop work tsaka media player. Pwede na kaya yan?
  • tama si smuggy. Kung sobrang mura why not. But know that the model is already deprecated starting mojave.
  • @adonis827

    Iniisip ko nga rin, last software update na yata nya ang Mojave. Tsaka parang may issue yata sa overheating?
  • ^Baka pwede pa bumaba sa 13K?

    Kung browsing and media player lang, that would be more than enough. And if what you mean by "light" photoshop, is simple edits lang sa mga pics, then ok na yan (provided, iupgrade mo ang RAM to at least 8GB)...

    I've had my 2012 Mac Mini run 10-12 hours a day / 5-6 days a week... it was my daily driver for work dati... I've never experienced overheating issues.

    Regarding software, wag nyo na masyado pinagiintindi yan... as long as it can do the job. Yung current OS is hindi naman day and night ang difference from 5 generations ago.

    Try mo tawaran ng 10K kung pwede, since we're talking about an obsolete model here :)

  • Thanks for your insights, smuggy! :)
  • Mga sirs, isa pa. Good deal na ba 'to for 23K? Or mahal?

    Mac mini 2014
    2.8GHz i5
    8GB RAM
    1TB Fusion drive
  • ^Tough choice to make.

    Kase you can build a more powerful machine for about 15K - then just Hackintosh it.

    Also, with that price, wala pang Keyboard, Mice, Monitor yan... which would be another +/- 10K... so mga nasa 30K+ din ang ending nyan. - makakabili ka na ng previous gens old na MBA/MBP nito, or an older model iMac, which are all "complete" systems.

    Dun na lang ako sa nauna mong post - yung 13K (tawaran mo pa konti)... then upgrade na lang ng RAM and SSD pag nagka budget ulet (DIY naman na upgrades to, and madali lang).

    Nag MacMini din ako a few years back... I'll never go back to that. Moving forward, para sa akin iMac/Mac Pro na lang talaga for desktops... or an MBP + external display.
  • Hmm... Oo nga 'no. Thanks ulit smuggy .

    My options are: Mac Mini 2019, refurbished iMac 2014+,
  • okay poba macbook para windows gagamiitin?
  • Hello,

    Saan po ba maayos at affordable magpagawa or papalit ng display ng old iMac screen? meron na kasi sya mga vertical lines.

    Meron po ba trustworthy na shop near Caloocan sana? or Fairvew QC area?

    Thanks in advance!
  • okay poba macbook para windows gagamiitin?

    WHY?????????
  • good day mga sirs/madams

    first time ko magdive sa mundo ng Mac,
    would like to ask ano magandang gamitin pang iOS dev't

    limited yung budget ko (50k) so okay lang sa akin yung 2nd hand
    basta upgradeable pa po

    and kung nasa magkano pa po yan.
  • ^Get an iMac.
  • Imac 2019 memory is ddr4 2666mhz 8gb
    Inupgrade ko 2 x 16gb 2400mhz nagkaron ng vertical line. Sa memory kaya yun?
  • ^Malamang. You can use a notch higher clock speed na RAM... but you should not use slower clocked modules.\

    What were you thinking?

  • Pwede naman. you can use Parallels Desktop or Virtualbox if you need to run certain Windows app
    okay poba macbook para windows gagamiitin?
  • i recently changed the HDD of my Mac Mini (late 2014).

    nag-install ako ng "821-00010-A Second Dual Hard Drive SSD PCIE Flex Cable Connector Adapter" para magamit ko yung 128GB from my old MBP and changed the 1TB to a 750GB (7200RPM).

    naging issue ko is mag-merge yung space dalawang harddrive (Fusion drive something ata yun) which it didn't do nung nakakabit pa yung 512GB stick. Dati kasi naka-separate yung 512GB and 750GB so mas easier for me to move data.

    so with the currenty setup, masisira ba yng "fusion drive" settings if papalitan ko yung 750GB to an SSD HDD and that I need to setup again yung OS?
  • Ayos din pala yung using an iPad as a second screen para sa Mac. Parang magic. lol
  • pano mag-rename ng Magic Mouse sa mac permanently? I've tried renaming it via "Rename"option or CTLR-Left Click, napapalitan yung name pero pag na-disconnect ng mouse and ni-connect ko ulit, lumalabas pa rin yung original name nya.

    btw, Catalina yung OS ng MBP
  • ^^ nag-downgrade na lang ako ng OS to El Capitan. Na-rename ko ung mouse ng walang issue. It seems na bug sya ng bagong OS?
  • So tempted to get the new Mac Mini with M1! Upgrade to 16GB RAM.

    OR should I wait?

    This will replace my Windows desktop that I’ve built, with 3 HDD’s & 3 SSD’s, and a MacBook Pro. What storage enclosure do you suggest, so I can still some drives from my desktop?
  • ^Since desktop naman yan bro.... gawa ka ng Home Network Storage mo. May mga nabibiling NAS - check ka sa Lazada.
  • Mga boss, May user ba ng iMac dito?

    Right now nagboboot kasi ako ng MacOS via external SSD para mas mabilis.
    Just wondering if possible ba magboot din ako ng windows thru external SSD? Ng hindi dinedelete yung MacOS.

    So 1 External SSD = Two Systems ( MacOS and Windows )
  • Mga boss, May user ba ng iMac dito?


    AKO.

    Right now nagboboot kasi ako ng MacOS via external SSD para mas mabilis.


    Why? Ano ba iMac Model mo? Specs?

    Just wondering if possible ba magboot din ako ng windows thru external SSD? Ng hindi dinedelete yung MacOS.


    Possible.

    So 1 External SSD = Two Systems ( MacOS and Windows )


    Pwede. Gusto mo sabay pa nagrrun eh :)
  • I think I’ll just wait ‘til March/April 2021.

    Sana mag release sila ng cheaper/more powerful Mac Mini with M1. I’d prefer storage na nakakabit via USB 4/Thunderbolt.
