This is true the one I am using as a entertainment control center has no monitor and it runs without any issues.

With the 2012 mac mini's, you do not have to buy an monitor, or and adaprtor to make it think so. I have a Mac mini, and the only thing connected to it is my apple bt keyboard, I used the mouse to connect it, after that it was a breeze. it sits on my end table, out of the way, and I can move up to 30 feet away from from it, and still operate it.

The mini itself is small, but once you add in the many wires for power and USB and monitor it quickly becomes more tangled then the Mac Book. Also, the internal speaker is just adequate nothing great. There is no battery power. Most of us will tell you you will need a monitor. If you don't want a monitor you will need to buy adaptors to make it work. By the time you purchase the needed extras and hook then=m up you will find your Mini is not especially a great bargain. I would recommend looking into a Mac book air or new Mac Book Pro. In my case the Mini was bought used so I saved a significant amount, still once I added in everything I could have probably just about baught a new Air. So for space convenience and value the Mini may not be the best choice. If you all ready own all the peripherals and just want a updated desk top this could be a good choice. I'm enjoying mine but I would be fine with just my macbook pro.

Also, what would any of you advise should I get a USB keyboard as I have an Apple keyboard which is bluetooth. If I were to stick with that and not get a USB keyboard, how would one pair the keyboard if the Mac Mini was not set up? > > I am wanting the latest one with the fusion drive and a SSD drive and as the unit is cheaper than a lap top, will probably go for the highest processor it all depends on how much everything will cost. > > Any advice is appreciated as I want to do a thorough research on this as I don't want to get anything without knowing the facts. Why do people get Mac minis, is it the saving on space or something else? I need something which will take as little room as possible due to having one desk which is cramed with wires and as much as I love my Mac Book Pro, I am going to be sorry for giving it up as it means a lot to me due to my time in the USA but one can't be sentimental I have to think of the practical i.e. no space. > > Thank you. > > Kawal. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]. > For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries?hl=en. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
