As to cost on a new Mac mini

to get one with 16gb ram if you are a US veteran it is 719 price.

add a corsair external for 84 dollars https://www.newegg.com/corsair-ex100u-1tb/p/N82E16820236925?

810 cost

That 180$ markup for 8 GB of RAM extra, ugh. OK, yeah, it's not "regular" RAM, but still.

P.S. I'm not hating, I have an MBP M1 Pro Max Cheesy

I am using a Mac mini as I type.

I have 3 in the house. They allow me to run core wallets safely. They are more secure than windows in general. less secure that linux. But you can run linux on them.

I thought that a safe use case for cryptocurrencies is a hardware wallet. I do not like Mac laptops, because in Russia the price for them has always been 50-100% more expensive than the market price. This was before the sanctions and now. And their repairs are very expensive.
Mge likes their quick system recovery with a few keystrokes, but I also have no problem installing Windows from a flash drive. License keys for Windows Pro on aliexpress cost 3 dollars.

'The right to privacy matters'

Those Mac minis are very nice kit if you go with a few external SSDS

https://www.newegg.com/corsair-ex100u-1tb/p/N82E16820236925?

https://www.newegg.com/samsung-t7-1tb/p/N82E16820147767?

either listed above are good.

Now another good choice for this style is a Lenovo p320 tiny to Lenovo p340 tiny

which can hold a mining 8gb gpu

I have one in my house I will try to find a spot I did about it.

Yes, that they are! On the other hand, the new M2 Mac Mini is actually quite a compelling purchase.

Why do I need him? I can buy this laptop for myself, but it is not cryptocurrency mining. I had an old macbook, but I installed Windows on it

For mining, this investment will never pay off. And in a couple of years this model will become obsolete, and video cards are constantly making a profit.

Yeah, for mining no, I was just talking about in general for "regular computing."

The new M2 Pro and M2 Max models cost about $3,000 in the US or Europe, and in Russia these laptops are 30-50% more expensive.
This is an expensive item that will attract unnecessary attention from thieves, so I see no reason to buy such a laptop.And for the office, this is an expensive purchase.

Was talking about the M2 Mini base model Wink

Show me this model, if it costs less, then maybe I'll try another operating system. I'm not familiar with Apple laptops, so please provide a link to that laptop. But I don't like to spend a lot of money on laptops on which I do office tasks.

It's not a laptop, it's a desktop PC - https://www.apple.com/mac-mini/

I think that this is a useless thing that is impossible to mine coins and play, due to poor cooling and the impossibility of self-repair. For 600 dollars I will assemble an excellent computer from components. My computer will be bigger, but I have no problems with the installation space.

They are really easy to clone boot drives.
T5
T7
Macintosh Hd

Corsair boot

are all clones and various booting backups.

So self repair is a none issue since you can move the boot drives.

they are not for mining.

They tend to last for 6-9 years.

According to some discussions I found on Reddit and other social media, most miners agree that Mac is not the best hardware if you are looking for profit. Most of them consider mining on Mac just for fun and supporting the network, since their latest processor, while powerful for many tasks is not good enough for mining. I personally own a Macbook Air. It is a good device for office work, light gaming, content creation, etc, but I'd never consider mining on it. I don't think it changes with Mac Mini since most of the time they perform at the same range. The key differences are extra cooling and no battery.

An image of the GeForce RTX 4090 with turbine cooling appeared on the network
https://en.gamegpu.com/game/v-seti-poyavilos-izobrazhenie-geforce-rtx-4090-s-turbinnym-okhlazhdeniem

Is this type of cooling still popular? I thought most companies and buyers prefer open-air fans or liquid cooling systems nowadays. AFAIK, blower-type cooling can be very loud, hence why it is not the most popular choice. I'm not sure about the performance but from skim-reading several articles there doesn't seem to be a big difference unless we compare it to liquid cooling. I guess the price is the key factor when a miner wants to buy GPUs since most of the time they are not that bothered by loud noise. CMIIW.

NVIDIA RTX 4070 with AD104 GPU
Another confirmation of the RTX 4070 rumored specs.
https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-ad104-250-gpu-for-geforce-rtx-4070-has-been-pictured
The RTX 4070 GPU is said to offer 5888 CUDA cores, which means that unlike RTX 4070 Ti, this model will be using a cut-down GPU with 1792 cores disabled. However, as long as rumors are to be believed, this card should still use the same memory configuration of the Ti model, which is 12GB GDDR6X across a 192-bit bus.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop Pre-Orders Show Similar Prices As RTX 3070 Laptops
We have seen an increase in prices on both desktop and laptop components. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 graphics cards are some of the largest generational price bumps we have seen to date & it looks like the RTX 40 Laptop GPUs are going to follow suit. The high-end RTX 4090 & RTX 4080 GPUs for laptops are already insanely priced with starting prices of over $2000 US and up to $6000 US on some configurations.

YouTuber Moore’s Law is Dead uncovered the pictures of the new mid-range and entry-level gaming GPUs.
We are just weeks away from a formal launch of first gaming laptops equipped with GeForce RTX 40 series, some of which are featuring yet unseen Ada Lovelace GPUs.
MLID obtained two photos of said GPUs, the AD106 and AD107 to be precise. These are to launch as RTX 4070 and RTX 4060/4050 series respectively by the end of this month.
https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-ada-ad107-ad106-gpus-pictured-much-smaller-than-ampere-predecessors

Finally something exciting in that field (at least from a gamer's point of view Grin

)

I'm always impressed how much power can be packed inside thin chassis like those, every since the GTX 10xx series, it was a huge leap forward in laptop GPUs performance.

Nvidia has to sell new video chips, so laptops are a good way to increase sales. But the price of new laptops is dear to me, provided that now you can make a good gaming computer for $ 1000 from components if you buy a GPU from miners and a processor and memory in China.

With today's pricing and performance, (gaming) laptops are becoming a truly good value compared to how it was before. Especially if you take into consider you'll be getting a decent high refresh rate screen, plus in some cases really good keyboard.

Are the graphics of the new MacBook Pro really that powerful? GeForce RTX 4070 was 35% faster than the 38-core GPU platform Apple M2 Max

And here everything is not so rosy, at least if you focus on the data from the OpenCL test of the Geekbench benchmark. If the 38-core GPU of the Apple M2 Max platform scores 75,139 points in it, then the result of the GeForce RTX 4070 is just over 102,000 points. The difference is about 35%.

It's a bit difficult to compare these two on paper. Yes, you could do it based on raw power, especially in synthetic benchmarks, but that's not too reflective of day-to-day usage.

I think that the price of these laptops is expensive. MacBook lovers will certainly buy their new model and so on.

GeForce RTX 4070 in April
We have some exclusive information on RTX 4070 graphics card.
https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-geforce-rtx-4070-expected-to-launch-in-april
The RTX 4070 is expected to feature 5888 CUDA Cores and 12 GB of GDDR6X memory. This model should basically be a cut-down RTX 4070 Ti with lower TDP (200W). Earlier plans have shown that NVIDIA wants to start mass production of the chips this month, so April seems to be within the typical launch schedule.
