When you plug in the keyboard, a dialogue box should pop up asking you to press specific keys (I can't remember off the top of my head, I think its z and / but it tells you specifically) so it can map it. For instance, it is 'command + c' for copy and 'command + v' for paste. Their functionality will be mixed and a lot of shortcuts you're familiar with in Windows won't work.exactly the same.

They'll be replaced with 'command' and 'option' keys. I'll touch on the keyboard first, since that was my biggest issue transitioning: Apple doesn't have 'alt' keys on their keyboards and no 'windows' keys. Please share your thoughts and let me know if you see any issues, especially with the monitor. Monitor: Dell 22' FHD - this is my primary concern - I have read about fuzzy fonts and incompatible monitors - is there at least a reasonable chance that it will work fine through HDMI? In my current setup I have connected it to the laptop with an HDMI to HDMI cable, and the monitor's audio out is connected to the speakers, as I mentioned above.Īpple doesn't have a return policy in my country - only defective devices can be exchanged, so I want to be fairly confident that my peripherals will work fine before I take the plunge. I don’t use it much, so even if it completely fails to work, it wouldn't be a major problem. Webcam: A local brand, and it comes with a built-in mic, connects through USB-A. This is just for ease of wiring, and I can connect it to the audio out of the Mac, if connecting to the monitor doesn't work. Speakers: JBL Creature that connects through the audio out of my monitor. Keyboard: Gigabyte Mechanical - this is wired, and it should work just fine, I presume? Mouse: Logitech Mx Master 2S - I gather it may have problems with BT but it should work fine with the USB dongle, which is good enough. What concerns me is the compatibility of my current peripherals with the Mac, because I don’t intend to replace any of them in the foreseeable future, given they are all in excellent condition. I have never used a Mac before, but I am not too concerned about the transition from Windows I understand that there is going to be a learning curve and that is fine. I plan to get the 16GB RAM variant to future proof it as far as possible.

I already have all the peripherals required, so I decided that the best option would be to either get an Intel NUC 11 or a Mac Mini M1, because I am just going to dock whatever device I buy. I am planning to get the M1 Mac Mini to replace my aging Windows Laptop.

Hi everyone, need your help in making a purchase decision.

What is the mac mini compatible with
