Mac mini with M1 chip and questions

2022-09-22 Thread 'Andrew Lamanche' via MacVisionaries
Hi,

Yesterday my 2012 imac died.  I’m trying to decide what to buy.  I’m thinking 
of getting a mac mini with M1 chip.

My questions are:
1. Could I run windows in bootcamp on it?
2. What sort of monitor I need to get? I don’t thinkk it comes with a monitor.

Many thanks

Andrew

Re: Mac mini with M1 chip and questions

2022-09-22 Thread Bradford Snyder
A Mac with Apple silicon will not run Bootcamp.  There are some other options, 
but there may be some accessibility issues with some of these options.
Apple does still sell a Mac mini with an Intel processor, and this Mac will run 
bootcamp.
A Mac mini does not require a monitor to function, however if you want a 
monitor, pretty much any monitor will work, but be advised that the mini has 
both a HDMI port, and Thunderbolt ports, so you will need an adapter for some 
monitors.
Another option to consider is the 24” iMac with apple silicon.  My wife, who is 
sighted, has one of these, and it is a very nice option worth considering if 
you want a Mac with a very good monitor.

If you are considering a new Mac with Apple silicon, I would wait until after 
the yet to be announced October Apple event, where new Macs are expected to be 
announced.
If you are interested in the mini with the Intel processor, you might want to 
act soon, because it is unknown how long Apple will continue selling this 
option, and it could easily disappear once the October event is held, though I 
would assume some of these models could still be purchase from the Apple 
Refurbished store.

Thank you, Brad for this.  I’d consider an intel based mac mini. I have no 
sight so a monitor is of little use to me but will mac mini run properly 
without it and more importantly will Windows be happy running in bootcamp 
without a monitor?  Won’t there be issues of either the mac os or Windows 
demanding a monitor be present?

Regarding the silicon imac 24 inch, I assume it won’t run windows in bootcamp 
either?

Hi there I happen to be totally blind from birth. With any computer that I get 
a hold of I always get a monitor of some kind in case something is going on 
with the computer somebody who can see would be able to help me find out what 
is going on and help me out. I also get a mouse with the computer as well.

Re: Mac mini with M1 chip and questions

2022-09-22 Thread 'Mary Ward' via MacVisionaries
You don’t have to spend much on a monitor for your Mac mini.  Just anything 
with an HDMI 2.0 or Thunderbolt will do.  Guess which one is cheaper?  I bought 
my monitor used for $50.  I used it with a 2011 Mac mini and am now using it 
with a Mac mini M1 2020.  No problem with either machine, though I almost never 
bother to turn the power on.

Re: Mac mini with M1 chip and questions

2022-09-22 Thread John D. Lipsey
You can use windows on an M1 Mac mini. The only way I found to do this is to 
download a program called UTM. You then need to get an ISO image of Windows 11, 
the version of Windows that seems to run on ARM processors, and install that 
into UTM. The setup  was a little bit tricky, but definitely doable. 
I also use my Mac mini without a monitor. The only issue I had in setting it up 
was the requirement that I needed a mouse or a trackpad. If you don’t plan on 
using one long-term, you could always buy a trackpad, use it for set up, and 
take advantage of Apple‘s 14 day return policy to return the trackpad. However, 
if you ever need to boot into the recovery partition for any reason, you will 
need the trackpad, so it might just be best to keep the trackpad in case you 
ever need it again.
Hope that helps!
