Choose the right Mac Mini

What real difference I notice between 1.4 ghz and 2.6 ghz models?  I am not a number cruncher or graphic designer.  A lot of pictures.  $200 is a lot for an unnecessary speed.  What do you think?

If your computer basic needs do not include supercomputers, video or audio, treatment, then you really don't need the highest power processor.

One way to think about this is to decide between buying a hybrid compared to a sports car. If doing it on the highway or a highway/road is essential for you, so you need this extra power. Otherwise, it would be a waste of money.

However, other areas you should consider is memory size and the RAM disk. With new Macs, you will not be able to be upgraded later, so it is up to you to get this extra space when ordering.

  • HP pavilion 15-e034tx: how to choose the right RAM for laptop

    How to choose the right RAM for my laptop (Pavilion 15-e034tx). I know I should buy DDR3 ram.

    Are there other factors should I consider when buying one? I got 2 slots for ram, which od these combos are possible?

    1-4 + 4 GB
    2-4 GB + 8 GB
    3-8 GB + 8 GB

    Thank you

    From the Manual:

    Two customer accessible/upgradable memory module slots

    Support for dual channel DDR3L (1600 MHz)

    Support 8192 MB RAM system in the following configurations:

    8192 MB (8192 MB × 1, × 4096 MB 2)

    Manual download link

    See page 53 for instructions. Memory access is easy via the service Panel. This is the part number for the approved 4 HP concert module:

    4 GB (PC3L, 12800, 1600 MHz) 691740-001

    http://www.Amazon.com/HP-691740-001-4GB-1600MHz-PC3L-12800/DP/B00CI08FX4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8 & qid = 1451655870 & SR = 8-2 & Keywords = 691740-001

    A 8 GB module is listed in the manual, and it's a 3rd generation of processor i5 I suspect 2 x 8 = 16 concerts would work, but strictly following the manual your only option is to add a 4 GB for a total of 8. Most users really not more 8 GB and adding a second identical module will allow two-channel operation, so you should see a noticeable jump in the overall performance.

    I don't think that TO_CHAR can do by itself.  You should maybe call TO_CHAR and then manipulate the output a bit.

    Looks like TO_CHAR with 1 single argument does exactly what you want except when it returns a string starting with a decimal point, in which case you want to concatenate a '0'.  So call TO_CHAR with 1 argument, see if returns the string begins with a decimal point and, if so, put a '0' on it, like this:

    WITH got_str AS

    (

    SELECT n

    TO_CHAR (n) AS str

    FROM the data

    )

    SELECT n

    CASE

    WHAT LIKES str '. %'

    THEN "0". Str

    Of ANOTHER str

    END AS str0

    OF got_str

    ;

    Output:

    STR0 N

    ---------- -----------------------------------------

    0,123.123

    12345678-12345678

    12345678.1 12345678.1234

    12345678.1 12345678.123

    12.0000001 12.00000008

    What do you want for greater than-1 negative numbers?  You may need to make the CASE a little more complicated expression, like this:

    WITH got_str AS

    (

    SELECT n

    TO_CHAR (n) AS str

    FROM the data

    )

    SELECT n

    CASE

    WHAT LIKES str '. %'

    THEN "0". Str

    WHEN the str LIKE '. %'

    THEN '-0 "|" SUBSTR (str, 2)

    Of ANOTHER str

    END AS str0

    OF got_str

    Could someone help me, I have a new mac mini and I would like to know if you only have to connect to use programs that are included in my creative cloud subscription? I don't want that no extra charge is generated by the presence of 2 computers with programs. I just want what they in the new mac mini

    You must install the Manager of the CC on the new machine and log, as you did initially.  Then, you can install the applications that come with your subscription that was suitable for your system.  You are allowed to have two machines with working facilities, you don't have nothing to do with the original installation.  If you prefer, however, you can disconnect from the original so that it is no longer active.

  • CP1025nw with the new Mac Mini 10.8.4

    Hello world

    I bought a cp1025nw and a new mac mini with 10.8.4 a few weeks ago, I have problems with the implementation of wireless printing:

    1. as the mac mini is a novelty, it doesn't have the previous version of the printer driver installed, thats why the mac is not able to detect the update to the app store automatically;

    2. the installation disc comes with the printer only is not supported with 10.8.4.

    3. I tried to set up the printer using my old macbook air with 10.5.8, the most up-to-date printer driver is downloaded from the app store and successful installed in my macbook air, however, the printer could not find my network wifi during installation, it shows that:

    ' - Wireless Network Name: ""(Nothing in parentheses).

    and

    -Mode communication: infrastructure

    4. the printer self test report shows that the IP add of the network is 0.0.0.0 in the network information section, but there is a valid IP address Add (192.168.223.1) in the section of direct printing configuration.

    5. the printer works fine with usb connected;

    6. have you consulted with the people from Apple and HP on the phone, the apple people asked me to consult the HP people, then the people of HP asked me to set up the printer with an older version of Mac OS x (which I did), so that I can get the IP add after installation, and then configure the printer with the IP add on my new mac mini , but of course I couldn't get the IP add with what they said.

    7. I downloaded the printer driver more up-to-date on apple store (version 2.14) for my mini mac, the file works fine as I can open the file (unlike the configuration of HP disc invites the message: "your OSX is too new and not is not supported bla bla bla...) »).  However, there is nowhere where I can put in place the printer during installation, the file just happens by itself, installation, then telling me 'your installation is complete.', I dun even have the option of entry or to do any installation during the process;

    8. I am unable to connect the printer to my router because my router is provided by my owner and which is located under the sink in the kitchen =. = »

    9. I went through all the related topics posted here, I tried as much as I can displayed by other users, but always without success.

    The printer driver CP1025nw "drives me crazy", please help!

    Thank you very much!

    I have Adobe first items 10 and you want to edit videos that I had received from a company that has transferred my Super 8 videos in format digital and saved on an external hard drive. They have the extension avi, codec Apple Motion JPEG A, image size: 1920 x 1080, pixel aspect ratio: 16:9, FPS: 29.97. I don't know what settings to choose from for the best image quality. I tried a few and the quality is poor. I need help. Thank you

    Editing,

    You HAVE found the right forum, and John and Steve are on the problem.

    Now with MJPEG images, I normally recommend this ARTICLE (from the subforum tips & tricks), but you have a somewhat unique problem, because your film contains a specific CODEC, the Apple Motion JPEG CODEC.

    Are you on a Mac or a PC?

    I don't know if Apple QT Player installation also adds the Apple MJPEG CODEC, as is Apple's CODEC H.264 and a little more. If so, you should have the appropriate CODEC. Also, I don't know if Mac come with Apple MJPEG CODEC installed. Others will have to answer these questions. I have four MJPEG CODEC on my laptop. One was the MainConcept, I bought, installed with Canon G-10 my wife installed with its Lumix, and then there is another, which has probably been installed elsewhere. None of my friends (I have Apple QT Pro on the laptop) appear as Apple, but that last one might be

    Can I change hardware MJPEG well enough (not as gently as SD DV - AVI, but still good enough).

    Good luck
