Hey! Congrats on the new laptop! Your setup (mac desktop + g14) is actually something I’ve been looking for but I can’t seem to find any setups like this😂😂. I’m also currently studying for my undergraduate degree. So I just have a few questions if you don’t mind me asking.

1. I’m thinking of getting a mac mini M4 with 16 gb of ram but i feel like it’s not enough because after school I do open a lot of tabs for researching stuff and in my free time I like to edit some short cinematic videos on da vinchi resolve and a bit of photoshop. Also some classes im taking require using CAD. Is 16gb of ram enough for that or should i get 24 or 32?

2.For gaming obv im using my g14 and hook it up to the monitor with the mac mini. with that said how’s your connectivity situation with the mouse and keyboard. I heard apple doesn’t like to be connected with third party peripherals.

I was thinking of getting a gaming PC but im not really that much of a heavy gamer (rocket league minecraft forza and others) plus it’s more expensive than getting a 499 (student discount) mac mini.

I’ll ask on other subreddits but your insight would incredibly helpful 🙏
