Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Fastest Mac Mini in the World! [Part 1]”.
Hey, what’s up guys mkbhd here and we’re back with episode, one of our fastest mac mini in the world project, so give a thumbs up. If you like this series idea and uh without any further ado, let’s go ahead and get started with episode number one. Now. First of all, some of you guys may be asking well mkbhd.
Why did you pick the mac mini of all the mac to choose that are out there right now why the 2011 mac mini well? First of all, it’s the only mac that lets me use. Two of the most vital things that i use all the time on my other computers, and that is number one. The three monitors that i have.
I have three dell ultra sharp 24-inch 1920×1200 monitors. I love the high resolution. I love the setup and i don’t plan on leaving that anytime soon and second sata 3 and the mac pro is actually out because it doesn’t support six gigabit per second set of three. So putting a blazing fast ssd in there is not going to do it. On the mac pro because it just won’t read it that fast, so a totally top of the line spec out mac mini was the option that i had we’re going to take this to the max. So this video is going to be more an overview of the series and an intro to what we’re going to do to this mac mini first of all, we’ll be getting the fastest single ssd solution that money can buy faster even than the 256 gig ssd.
That apple would ship, if you bought it with the mac. Mini it’ll, be about 540 extra to get that, but we’re going to look for an option. That’S even faster than an ssd and uh near the same capacity, and that’s going to give us instant. You know application opening, that’s going to give us really fast boot times excellent performance and that’s all really what a powerful desktop is all about. We are also going to be installing the most ram that this mac mini can handle and uh yeah. You guessed it. That’S 16 gigs of ram we’re gon na try to find 16 gigs of ddr3 ram for this project. So the combination of that blazing fast, ssd and tons of ram you might be able to edit video and really make this thing work for us we’re going to top it all off with a fresh install of mac.
Os 10 10.7 lion. So if you don’t already know yeah that’s what this machine will come with and uh we’re definitely going to give this a shot and see how far we can work with it. So, to sum it all up this overview, huge fast ssd, tons of ram fast ram and does 10 10.7 lion. So we can only begin with the unboxing of the mac mini itself. We went with the of course, highest end available, mac mini to start with, which would be the 2.7 gigahertz intel core i7 model, of course, with the thunderbolt port on the back, and since people like to watch apple unboxings, i might as well include the rest. You know you get the apple stickers, you get the literature, you get the power cable and, what’s nice, is you actually get this dvi to hdmi connector, so you’ll instantly be able to set up a dvi display.
Setting up line for the first time was, of course, pretty simple and of course, you can see here. We finally got into our first uh 10.7 lion experience, we’ll start off episode 2, where this episode left off again. If you like, this video series idea make sure to give it a thumbs up and uh, we’ll see you in the next episode, thanks for watching guys, peace, you .
