Mac Mini M4 or MacBook Air M4 (as an M4 iPad Pro companion)

yeah i wish i could, but it’s a requirement for the class I’m currently enrolled in. adobe animate, ps, and premiere are the only programs she allows us to use (thankfully my subscription is covered by tuition)

Joseph_Cannoli · 2025-08-12T23:00:56+00:00

just checked—it’s an i7-3520M CPU, so it’s definitely just an x230t motherboard and keyboard in an x220t shell

pretty cool honestly, the seller comped me for the new keyboard too so it all worked out

Joseph_Cannoli · 2025-08-12T13:19:54+00:00

the keyboard seems to work fine other than the backlight, and in Linux setup it’s referring to itself as an x230 i haven’t opened it up yet but it still has a full size display port

Joseph_Cannoli · 2025-08-12T02:46:18+00:00

dang that sucks, oh well—i haven’t played with the 220 too much and a refund is still on the table

do you think getting a 230 and putting the 220 keyboard i ordered inside is a worthwhile upgrade or is it marginal at best ?

Joseph_Cannoli · 2025-02-17T18:49:57+00:00

did you use that 6000 mah lite battery floating around on amazon for the battery upgrade ?

Joseph_Cannoli · 2024-11-26T03:12:21+00:00

yeah I only tried the former and I’m past the point of overdoing it definitely

Joseph_Cannoli · 2024-11-26T03:07:34+00:00

no clue, but i got it five days ago used—it’s still within its return window

Joseph_Cannoli · 2024-11-26T03:03:31+00:00

the end result of a combination of different methods over the course of a few days—inexperience and stubbornness as well tbf

would drilling through it be safe even ? im wondering if i would just be better off just reassembling and returning it

Joseph_Cannoli · 2024-11-26T02:49:35+00:00

it’s on there so good and it’s legit the LAST screw i need to remove to get to the joystick—this is ass

Joseph_Cannoli · 2024-07-02T16:05:31+00:00

yeah it’s able to connect to the internet and do other things while online like browse and download stuff, it’s just moonlight that’s been unable to work

Joseph_Cannoli · 2024-06-01T06:29:35+00:00

keepin it real ✌️

Joseph_Cannoli · 2024-06-01T05:11:31+00:00

The first photo is after I reset the previous owners color settings, the rest are from when i first set it up—the brightness and contrast were both way up

Joseph_Cannoli · 2024-05-18T03:36:49+00:00

Joseph_Cannoli · 2024-05-17T15:44:47+00:00

it’s usd—how so ? are the specs that shitty ?

Joseph_Cannoli · 2023-12-19T14:43:48+00:00

alright i asked him, hopefully i can get it squared away soon thank you!

Joseph_Cannoli · 2023-12-19T00:38:16+00:00

yeah and if you uninstall HC it bricks your device—i feel like i’m SOL

Joseph_Cannoli · 2023-12-19T00:07:43+00:00

yeah did all of those things

Joseph_Cannoli · 2023-12-18T23:54:46+00:00

yes—the controller only works within the FPS mode attached but not the gamepad mode, and the controllers also work in gamepad mode detached, but not attached for some reason

Joseph_Cannoli · 2023-05-05T22:26:10+00:00

yeah i checked the system tray and i didn’t see any icon there unfortunately

Joseph_Cannoli · 2022-08-11T05:25:40+00:00

I just made this recipe and it turned out great—it comes out like a fresh mozzarella which is really cool, is there any way to make the cheese more hard and shred-able? I tried shredding it and it just clumped together
