  • Mac mini with M2 review: More power for less money

    The M2 Mini having the same form factor is a plus in school and university labs. Since the Mini does not have any Kensington lock anchor points, labs have to depend on third party cage enclosures to secure the Mini. The M2 having the same form factor makes it possible to perform slot-in upgrades to replace older (Intel-based) equipment.

  • Here are some of the best mouse and trackpad choices for your new Mac mini

    The Apple Magic Mouse is rather inconvenient to use in real life. The shape is too low to be comfortable on the hand to be used for long durations. I didn't bother with the Magic Mouse 2. The Magic Trackpads (both 1 and 2) on the other hand, are fantastic. They're the next best thing to using the Macbook Pro Trackpads.

    Given a choice between a USB keyboard and a wireless keyboard, I'd tend to go for the USB keyboard. For the longest time it was due to the fact that there was no extended Apple Wireless keyboard available. However, I am more comfortable with having a physically attached USB keyboard when it comes to system troubleshooting and recovery.

    One thing that was not explicitly mentioned is that the use of Bluetooth keyboards, trackpads and mice eliminates the need for dongles which take up precious USB slots on the Mini. They seem to be more reliable (and possibly more secure in terms of the communications compared to non-BT dongles?) as well, though it might introduce some latency that may be an issue for gaming (if anyone actually seriously plays games on a Mini).
