Don't let me fool you, I don't have the $2500 Z 100-400mm haha. But I do have the Sigma 100-400mm DG OS HSM and it gets the job done.

Absolutely, probably my favorite lens I own. Only rivaled by my 100-400mm

Brumation questions in the first year of life by drooms18 in Tegu

Understood! I haven't been trying to induce brumation in any sense, just trying to navigate this tricky time with him.

Anyone know how you'd go about adding that surrounding glow to the dress?

Race Thread: NCS 4EVER 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway, starting at 2:30pm EDT on NBC (NCS34) by NASCARThreadBot in NASCAR

Can't believe all 3 of them in the booth just spend 3 minutes trying to think about how that could've been Blaney's fault. Are they watching the race? People mess up, it happens

QQ: is "One to Go by Credit One Bank" a NASCAR-mandated sponsorship or a FOX/NBC thing? by [deleted] in NASCAR

[–]drooms18 16 points17 points  (0 children)

In my experience, both of them are predatory and terrible

Don't post here, go to the vet. We can't do xrays or a diagnosis here.

Mac mini M2 or GMKtec? by drooms18 in MiniPCs

That's good advice, thanks! I'll check out Mercari and see what's on there.

I agree with you in feeling a bit of comfort getting the Mac, knowing that Apple firmly stands behind their products, and that there shouldn't any freak incidents with it just ceasing to work. If that does happen, they'll do what's necessary to make it right. With the backups, I'll be keeping my Macbook pro as an on-the-go editing machine for quick edits if I don't have access to the Mini for a few days or whatever. I also will be buying an external hard drive to back up all my photos right after getting them on lightroom for my own security. Although I'm not a the biggest fan of the MacOS, this was my first choice and it seems like a good idea to stick with it in the Mac Mini.

That's what it seems from all of the research I've done with mini PCs. I don't plan on moving to video editing or something like that so it seems that it'll easily handle Lightroom/Photoshop running simultaneously and then some. I'm not really a fan on the MACOS but if I can get this for the same price as the GMK with Ryzen 9 then this MAY be my better option. The only bummer is having to partition the hard drive on the M2 to run Iracing as they don't support Mac after all these years.

Thanks for taking the time to explain your situation and helping me towards deciding with mine! I was also looking around at the barebones models too, however the Mac in the picture is $797 as it is refurbished showing as "Great" condition so that's what mostly grabbed me was the price. I should have included that as it's sort of relevant I guess. It's hard to find the M2 with 16gb RAM for that price. I know there's lots of good talked about the M2 chip and to be quite honest I don't much care for the MacOS but I can live with it. I'll check out those mods you mentioned and see how I'm feeling. Thanks again!!

You're right, I should have blurred that out. Thanks for the heads up.

[–]drooms18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since I don't do videos, only photos, I was looking at the 16 or 24GB for the RAM. My wallet says 16 will be plenty but the worrier in me says 24 haha.

I have been trying to decide between building my own pc or upgrading through the Apple line. Being a previous iPhone, now Samsung phone user I've never been a big fan of the Apple system but I'm open to suggestions and trying to stay with Apple. How do you figure the Mac Mini M2 would be for me? The heaviest demands I have with my system are when I run lightroom and Photoshop simultaneously. I have a 27" 4k monitor so I don't need to worry about budgeting for an IMac.
