Also, sorry for taking so long with this video! We've tested close to 20 games (Native, Windows, Switch, PS3 and PS2) on almost all Apple Silicon Macs, whilst also moving into our new office. 😊A more regular video schedule will shortly return.

Andrew Garfield back with another banger video 🔥

I know a lot of mac mini reviews dropped, but the only ones actually worth watching even this much later are ZOT and Optimum, love this stuff

[utubekullanicisi]

THANK YOU for not testing the performance of the machine with MetalFX turned on. Some people in the tech Youtube don't know how to test the SoC's raw performance in games.

[reidboggs]

I use mine as a Steam box. Currently hooked up to a TV along with my PS5, Xbox Series X, and Switch. Works great.

[pipp]

A hundred thumbs up for showing results across all the tiers of all the generations to help those of us considering upgrading see what we’d be getting!

[iLegionaire]

Apple Silicon is the best the Mac has ever been for gaming, and its only getting better with each release!

[A.H_]

How funny the Mac Mini is the current fastest desktop Apple currently sell in their lineup at $600 😂

[foilhat]

Oh, you're walking on the edge by showing Zelda emulation footage.

[millmaster]

What switch emulator are you using? I thought all the ones were taken down

[TheNamesMagoo]

Id like to see current AAA Games at 1440p

[rcvillapando]

Oh crap you showed Nintendo emulation. Get ready for their lawyers!

[FlintG]

Really amazing how far we have gotten and that gaming on a mac is really possible now.

[DRDRE-cmqo]

Been using my base m4 pro for emulation and its absolutely insane.

[ViraDrama]

Thanks, I ordered the M4 24/512 to accompany my 2011 mini. It will be a killer gaming machine😀

[NomadicBloke]

I trust this reviewer because he really knows what he is talking about, I watched his video is for the first time 7 years ago.

[mikeramos]

probably the best cheapest compact gaming pc right now

[drakonyc]

It is incredible how far these SoCs have gone is so few years. Many people are still debating whether these ARM chips will take over X86 or not, but if this is the potential that we have to expect in the future then the answer is there already, in just a bunch of years.

[Johnv]

this Mac mini is with its price its gonna be most sold Mac mini

[FatSnke]

I’m looking forward to more native MacOS games. They ran so efficiently that it amazes me!
