2012 and earlier or the newer 2018 model all have socketed memory and can be upgraded it is only the 2014 model that does not. Any DIY attempt would merely destroy either the logic board or chips or both. However newer logic boards, chips and manufacturing techniques mean that these days an ordinary soldering iron is totally useless for this purpose and you need tools equivalent to those used originally to build the logic boards, as such it is not possible unless you are a major manufacturer and they have no interest in doing this.

) I remember some enterprising people doing this to upgrade the original Macintosh 128KB to a 'Fat Mac' with 512KB, I even had this done to my own one back in 1985. In theory one could unsolder the existing chips and solder new bigger capacity ones, this indeed did use to be commonly done in the olden days. This leaves the only option as being to sell it and buy a better model. With the previous generation Mac Mini 2012, you can buy up to 16GB of memory and replace the meager 4GB memory (depending on the model) all by yourself.

I’m getting a Wacom Cintiq 16 drawing tablet, which uses one USB A connection plus the HDMI connection, and the other USB A connection is for keyboard/mouse.For the Mac mini 2014 the memory is as you state soldered to the logic board, as such it is generally regarded as impossible to upgrade the memory. Why a Mac Mini 2012 instead of the new Mac Mini 2014. Custom order and customize online at is the place to buy Z0ZT on-line.

Considering the level of investment that you’re considering and the not uncommon but fairly specialist nature of your setup it may even be worth posting over there just to confirm your plans once you have a feel for the problems which others are experiencing.

I don’t know anything about the Cintiq so it’s hard to understand exactly what the problems are, but if you search on M1 within the subreddit you should get some pointers. But I just took a look over in the Wacom subreddit and there are some people over there who appear to be having some problems. In principle your proposed setup sounds ok, and the port usage adds up. Yes, the Mini has 2 USB-A and 2 USB-C / Thunderbolt ports. So on that basis I would say it’s worth the extra money for 16GB. Also, I don’t use blender personally, but I’ve played with it on my main 64GB workstation and I seem to recall that it used a lot of memory and basically took advantage of everything it had. I was told I can get a Thunderbolt to HDMI converter for the monitor, so that would leave the other Thunderbolt for an external hard drive, right? My knowledge is limited so any help on this is welcome, thanks!Īs you’re creating content rather than consuming it, I would suggest going for 16, if only to secure a little more longevity from your purchase and ensure that you’re getting the best performance possible.

Do you think 16 vs 8gb of ram would still help me? I don’t plan to use it for high-end hi def video editing.

I want to use it for digital art and some animations, I guess with Photoshop and also Clip Studio Paint Pro ($50 version of Photoshop some digital artists use), and also some Blender. Thanks for the helpful comment (many helpful comments I’ve gotten!), I was wondering if I’d really need 16gb of ram instead of 8, 8 is more than my older systems lol.
