With the 2012 mac mini's, you do not have to buy an monitor, or and adaprtor

Hi,
The mac mini does have a speaker, but if you are wanting to listening to music
or mp3s you will want external speakers as I don't think that the internal
s[peaker is not very good at all. Just my thoughts.

Here is another thought, but why not just get a mac book air there very small
and you can get 11 inches on a screan and then you can still have the scanner
on the desk. Just a thought.

Hi Kawal,
I have both a mini and a Mac Book pro. 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
Thank you. I will think about other options then as I have not made up my mind
yet.

One thing to note is the mini, like all Macs in from the last decade or
so, has both analog and digital audio optical outputs in the same jack.
So given the right cable you can hook up the Mac to a full
surround-sound home theater or the like. So playing a DVD will send the

Hello All.
As you know I am hoping to sell my Mac Book Pro mid 2010 and two or three
months after the sale, I am probably going to get a Mac Mini due to the lack of
space on my desk with a magic track pad.
So, I have questions to ask.
Does the Mac Mini have batteries inside it?
I know that
I do know that the mac mini has a speaker but i don't know how good it is.
I know the mac mini doesn't come with a keyboard, but i'd think you could use
your bluetooth one.
Can i ask, wouldn't you think the macbook pro would take up less space then a
mac mini with screen?

I wasn't going to get a screen. At the moment I have to balance the Macbook on
my lap when I'm scanning and one of these days I'll drop it so as I've seen a
Mac Mini, I know it's a small box which souldn't take too much space. I
understand that Apple have fixed the issue about it not having a
Hi. when I got mine at the end of 2011 it ran ok without a screen but seemed

Hi. no batteries as far as I know. YOu need power to run the mini. I use a
blue tooth keyboard, I did use a usb keyboard to turn voice over on though. it
might be handy to get a cheap usb keyboard until you get your bluetooth
keyboard paired. As I've said in previous posts it does have a
outlet this is not a portable machine.

Hello Kawal, Kliphton here. You and I have chatted over the years, and I did
the same thing you are going to do. Sold my iMac, and bought me a mini. Here
is what I know. The mini can be pared with a bt keyboard, you do not need a
screen for voice over to work properly, and it does take up
My memory about the new mini's is that the server version and the low-end
version do not have a GPU and that the mid-tier version does have thededicated
graphics processor.
So it might be that the only the medium tier mini has issues with no display
attached. Sounds like a fun experiment...
Mine is the middle tier version, the 2.5 GHz model with the 500 GB HD.
You're theory might be quite correct.

So this could be fixed only in the server version, which would make some
sense. Everyone else will still have to do the VGA to NTSC contraption I
outlined previously or use a real monitor.

I am considering buying a Mac mini and have a few usability questions I hope

it work ok or with limitations other than obviously not having info on screen.

I just bought a mid 2011 Mac Mini last week. I am actually going to write

I am a bit confused. Are you saying that plugging in the HDMI to DVI
adapter that my Mini came with will trick the mac into thinking it has
a screen? I can't boot mac for a while since my Windows Carbonite
backup is still restoring or I would test this myself.

No, this won't work alone. You'll need the converter box I mentioned, but
instead of the htmi adaptor, you will need a VGA adaptor. At least, this is
the set up that is working for me.

How new is it? The sluggishness and other bad behavior without a monitor
is well known but it sounds like the very latest models might have this
fixed.
