As said in the comments, MKBHD was speaking to the base model with the M2 Pro chip. It’s still nuts what a base M2 model can do though. A $599 Apple machine can run pro level projects. 🤯

[Jungkith]

I think MKBHD was referring to the M2 PRO mac mini bc it’s the one he have

[MACBoricua]

Yes Marques is referring to the Mac Mini with the M2 Pro chip which is entregue el with 512 GB storage, which gives two storage elements that may not slow down speeds as as the base M2 chip one

The Mac Pro in the video in the video is not the base model, it has 2 graphics cards, a 5700X and a 580X, both of which add up to 16.6 tflops. The current base model Mac Pro has a 5500X which is 5.6 tflops, which is a lot more in line with the m2 mac mini at 3.6 tflops of maximum theoretical f32 gpu compute. Blackmagic RAW and de-noising are parallel tasks shared on the cpu and gpu, but the gpu will do most of the heavy lifting.

The best video on the M2 mini so far. Great work.

[Mr.BobsDog]

2:35 no one tell him the M2 Mac Mini 512GB+ versions have much faster SSD performance than base M2 Mac Mini 😂

[jeremsgarage]

Great video! Basic video editing with minimal complications, the base models are perfectly capable! I am glad you showed us the use cases where the base models get overwhelmed on exports. I have not had that problem with my base model M1 and M2 machines, but I do not do the same workload (multiple renders at the same time etc.)

Yeah man. I feel ya. I have the 28-core Mac Pro and just got one of the M2 Pro Minis for a rig to take with me and it's hard to believe that the performance is even close at the price point but the thing is, I love my Mac Pro for my daily pro work, I can do what I need to on it reliably and it's not going anywhere any time soon. Best of all worlds for me.

[matthewhuber]

Michael you’re channel is so high quality! Keep up the good work 😁

[TroyRubert]

The first 15 seconds got me to sub. Love this style of testing.

[jimjimbot]

I laugh so hard when "The Camera Died" shows up :D

thanks for the time you spent! at least on practical situation, on paper specs really can't show the real world use case.

[paulwharton]

Most interesting video - I learnt a lot.
Many thanks....all the way from London !

The crazy thing is the M-series hardware is still new and performing great. I can only imagine 5 years from now what can be done in professional environments. SSDs and RAM getting faster along with optimized software. Great video.

[JohnFultonCGL]

I was actually almost compelled to try one out. Such a big difference between expectations and real life

[Jisooee]

Yes I've been waiting for the da vinci resolve m2 mac mini review

[audiotech]

This was a great side-by-side review. Thank you

[Burbie]

do u think as a beginner editor with 1080p projects mostly, is the mac mini M2 worth it for the price

[FrameVoyager]

Oh I saw that square monitor there for you setup. How do you like that? I've been thinking about getting one

[arranpbrown]

Hey man, great video! Just a note about Fusion clips causing errors in rendering in DaVinci that you mentioned on the M1/M2 machines - I’ve found that if you Render in Place Fusion clips before you render out the project then you don’t have those error issues for whatever reason. Might be worth trying, because it was driving me insane until I figured that out and wasted a load of time with failed renders. Cheers.

[geoff]

Fabulous reviews and real-world comparisons! Many thanks!
