M4 Mac Mini Review

Follow the link to see my YouTube video on the M4 Mac Mini, and to see what difference having a fan in the machine makes to that of the fan-less M4 MacBook Air of the same spec.

This is the third video in my story about transitioning away from my 2020 intel iMac. The other two related to a getting a new monitor, as I obviously needed a new screen, to replace that of the iMac’s, and prior to that I did one on the M4 MacBook Air, which is what started me on this journey to replace my Intel iMac, when I saw just how capable the M chipped Macs were.

BenQ MA270U Monitor Review

Over the last couple of months I’ve been using the BenQ MA270U monitor with my M4 MacBook Air, Which I also did a video on a few months ago, shortly after its release.

And in that video I did some comparisons with my main desktop machine at the time, a 27” Intel iMac from 2020, and it made me realise that the time was probably right to swap out my old iMac, but the main question was what monitor to get to replace the 5K iMac screen, a screen that I’ve absolutely loved using.

Follow this link to my YouTube video to find out what I think of this monitor, It’s features and how I’ve been using it.

M4 MacBook Air Review

In the 3 months or so that I’ve owned the M4 MacBook Air, I’ve put through it well over 33,000 images, courtesy largely to a week long local Dance festival I shoot around Easter Time each year. 

This is the first M chipped Apple device I’ve bought, I’ve been using a 2020 Intel iMac as my main machine for the last 5 years. Follow this link to my YouTube Video to find out what I think of the Air and how much of an improvement there is, or not, over the older iMac.
