Put into plain English, that's exactly two normal monitors put together. Measuring 49 inches diagonally, the CRG9 is the equivalent of two 27-inch monitors side-by-side.  </p><p>The CRG9 has a resolution of 5120 x 1440. It's a welcome upgrade for those who thought the original 2017 model's 3840 x 1080 - two FHD monitors - wasn't sharp enough for their video games, and anything else for that matter. </p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/5c2fb1b9bd77305b252e945c-2400/samsung-crg9-gaming-monitor-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Samsung CRG9 Gaming Monitor 1" data-mce-source="Samsung" /><p class="source"><span>Samsung</span></p></div><p></p></div></div> Indeed, the CRG9 monitor is designed with PC gamers in mind with its smooth 120Hz refresh rate that allows up to 120 frames-per-second on games. Typical non-gaming monitors have a 60Hz refresh rate, which is also smooth, but PC gamers like to go beyond the standard specs. The CRG9 also comes with AMD's Freesync 2 technology that helps with smoother and more stable gameplay when used with AMD's graphics cards. </p><p>HDR10 is also supported on the CRG9 monitor, which makes for better colors, better detail in dark shaded scenes, and better contrast overall between light and dark areas of a scene.</p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/5c2fb41ed4beaf4e3c6cc97c-2306/samsung-crg9-gaming-monitor-3.jpg" border="0" alt="Samsung CRG9 Gaming Monitor 3" data-mce-source="Samsung" /><p class="source"><span>Samsung</span></p></div><p></p></div></div></p><p>There's no pricing or release date to speak of yet. If the original CHG90 monitor from 2017 is anything to go by, the new CRG9 could cost north of $1,000.</p><p>Anyone interested in a gaming super ultra-wide monitor now that it's available in QHD resolution should note that they'll need a pretty beefy PC to play games smoothly, especially if they want to set their games' graphics options to higher settings. The CRG9's 5120 x 1440 resolution isn't too far off a 4K monitor's 3840 x 2160 resolution, and you need pretty serious high-end and expensive hardware to play games smoothly at 4K. To make the most of this monitor, your PC will need brawny hardware like Intel's Core i7 range of processors and Nvidia's GTX 1080Ti or RTX 2080 or higher.</p><p>Despite support for AMD's game-smoothing Freesync 2 technology, very few - if any - of AMD's graphics cards would be able to make the most of the CRG9 monitor. The only AMD card that could have a chance is the Vega 64, which is best suited for a single QHD monitor. But whether it can handle the equivalent of <em>two </em>QHD monitors at 120 frames-per-second at higher graphics settings is perhaps questionable. </p>    <div class="margin-top">        <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/samsung-chg90-ultra-wide-gaming-monitor-perfect-gaming-2018-5">We tried gaming on the Samsung CHG90 ultrawide gaming monitor</a></h3>        <div>            <iframe class="bijwplayerclass" data-player="jwplayer" src="https://content.jwplatform.com/players/bax9AeEn-CEZHWCBG.html" width="100%" height="100%" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" style="margin:0px;" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><script>function receiveMessage(event){ console.log(event.data.fullscreen); Android.fullscreen(event.data.fullscreen); }window.addEventListener("message", receiveMessage, false);</script>        </div>    </div>

Samsung's massive 49-inch super-wide monitor got an upgrade that will make video games look incredible - if your PC can handle it

As a PC gamer myself, I walked away from the experience feeling like my fancy 34-inch ultrawide gaming monitor at home that I was previously so proud of was actually small, pitiful, and completely inadequate.</p><h2>These monitors offer an unbelievable gaming experience</h2><p>The monitors, which Nvidia dubs BFGDs for big format gaming displays, include three notable gaming features: a fast 120-hertz refresh rate that promises smooth gameplay; Nvidia's G-Sync technology, which synchronizes the monitor's refresh rate and that of the games you're playing; and ultra-low latency, so that what you do on your controller, keyboard, or mouse is reflected nearly instantaneously on the screen.</p><p>The monitors' combination of giant screens and these features makes for an impressive experience. With the smooth gameplay they offer and their incredible responsiveness, the monitors perform just like the best standard gaming displays. But their large size allows them to offer a cinematic feel.</p><p>And what they display is really amazing. Thanks to their support for HDR, colors pop. Meanwhile, images actually appear to be sharper than 4K. Because everything on their screens is bigger, you can see more detail than you could on smaller monitors with the same resolution. The game I demoed on one of the monitors - "Destiny 2" - looked beautiful.</p><p>Any gamer who tried out one of these monitors would be thrilled with the experience and would want one immediately.</p><p>That is, if he or she can first figure out where to put it. </p><h2>But don't expect one to replace your desktop monitor</h2><p>Simply put, a 65-inch monitor can't fit on your average computer desk. Even if you could get it to work on your particular desk, it would almost certainly be a bad experience. You'd likely be sitting so close to such a large screen that you'd end up seeing less than you would with a standard, smaller monitor.</p><p>To be able to keep track of everything happening on all areas of the screen on one of these jumbo monitors, you'd have to shift your eyes and even move your head around a lot - things no gamer wants to do, particularly during long and intense gaming sessions or when it's important to react quickly to on-screen action. </p><p>Instead of sitting on a desk right in front of a user, the BFGDs are designed to be viewed at a distance. They're ideal for gamers who prefer to play in their living rooms from the comfort of their couches.</p><p>In fact, the new monitors could potentially replace your living room TV. They offer a picture quality that's just as good as a top LCD television. And thanks to their built-in Shield, which supports many common entertainment apps, you can easily stream videos or music to them.</p><p>The only people for whom the BFGD monitors wouldn't represent a good replacement or upgrade over their current TVs are those with OLED televisions in their living rooms. The Nvidia monitors' LCD displays don't quite match up to the gorgeous pictures offered by those pricey sets. </p><p>But you don't necessarily have to put one of these monitors on an entertainment console in your living room. You could actually place them a few feet behind your desk, like this:</p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/5a55a9f725954c08148b4651-1200/img20180109161715.jpg" alt="nvidia 65-inch monitor" data-mce-source="Antonio Villas-Boas/Business Insider" /><p class="source"><span>Antonio Villas-Boas/Business Insider</span></p></div><p></p></div></div></p><h2>The price of these jumbo displays could be similarly huge</h2><p>Of course, even if you're a big-time gamer who's super-excited playing PC games in your living room, you may not want to run out and get one of these new monitors as soon as they hit the market, which is expected to happen sometime this summer. The main reason: They're bound to be expensive.</p><p>Nvidia and it's partners haven't announced prices for yet, but you get a rough idea of what they might cost by looking at the price of somewhat comparable devices. You can get a fantastic 65-inch 4K HDR TV for less than $850 - the price of a smartphone these days. But the features that will be built into the BFGDs, including G-Sync, will likely add hundreds of dollars to that price.</p><p>Likewise, 4K gaming monitors with features similar to the BFGDs, but with screens of around 30 inches or so, can cost more than $800. Ones with much bigger screens will likely be dramatically more expensive. We'll have to wait and see.</p><p>Still, these BFGD monitors aren't designed for casual gamers. They're intended for the kinds of enthusiasts who already have a $1,500 gaming PC that's capable of displaying games at 4K resolutions at high frame rates, and who are willing to spend an extra large chunk of cash on a display that will take full advantage of such capabilities.</p><p>For myself, I'd love to have one of Nvidia's giant gaming monitors in my living room - or perhaps set far back on my desk. But the price has to be right.</p>  <p class="tagline">Get the latest Nvidia stock price<a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/stock/NVDA-Quote"> here &gt;&gt;</a></p>    <div class="margin-top">        <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/samsung-super-ultrawide-gaming-monitor-gled-chg90-32-9-2017-10">Samsung released the widest computer monitor you can buy - here's what it's like</a></h3>        <div>            <iframe class="bijwplayerclass" data-player="jwplayer" src="https://content.jwplatform.com/players/H9PF68w9-CEZHWCBG.html" width="100%" height="100%" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" style="margin:0px;" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><script>function receiveMessage(event){ console.log(event.data.fullscreen); Android.fullscreen(event.data.fullscreen); }window.addEventListener("message", receiveMessage, false);</script>        </div>    </div>

The best computer speakers you can buy

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/58420e37e02ba79f028b754f-1365/undefined" alt="LG ultrawide disply" data-mce-source="LG" data-link="http://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-34UC98-W-ultrawide-monitor" /><p class="source"><span><a href="http://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-34UC98-W-ultrawide-monitor">LG</a></span></p></div><p></p></div></div>Ultrawide displays are a luxury, not a necessity, but once you're hooked it's hard to go back to traditionally shaped screens.</span></p><p>I first saw an ultrawide display, <span>an early LG model that I now own,</span> a couple of years ago at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The absurdly elongated screen stood out even in the middle of the sensory overload of the showroom floor, and it's one of the few times I've agreed with branding jargon - "ultrawide" seemed spot on.</p><p>Most televisions and computer screens purchased today are traditional widescreen displays, featuring a 16:9 aspect ratio. An ultrawide screen, however, extends that even further to 21:9, matching the ratio you'll see in most cinemas. It can all be a bit confusing, but the easiest way to think of it is this: Ever watch a movie and see black bars at the bottom? That's because whatever you're watching was filmed to match the aspect ratio of movie theater screens, not TV screens. Now imagine a display that chops off those black bars, perfectly fitted around perfectly onto your screen.</p><p>Welcome to the world of ultrawide displays.</p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Throw in a curved display like LG's<span> </span><a href="http://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-34UC98-W-ultrawide-monitor" target="_blank" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&amp;q=http://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-34UC98-W-ultrawide-monitor&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1480779534083000&amp;usg=AFQjCNHDuigyULw-Q3YlfJzzloWH7fCTGA">34UC98-W</a>, and you have a multitasking powerhouse with enough screen real estate to give your email, internet tabs, spreadsheets, and social media feeds plenty of room to breathe. LG makes one of the best computer screens you could ask for, an unrivaled control center where everything is within view - if you're willing to drop over a thousand dollars.</span></p><h2><strong><span>Movies: A true cinema display, right on your desk</span></strong></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Unless you're looking to hop on the 4K train, there's no better way to watch movies at your desk than with an ultrawide screen like the LG 34UC98-W. The 34-inch display is truly massive, and the subtle curve is perfect for immersion, striking the right balance so things don't feel warped.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Since this is a computer monitor and not a TV, it's important to note that viewing distance is important here: I wouldn't recommend a curved TV, for instance, since the viewing distance for a TV is far greater than a computer display, so the effect of the screen's curve is largely lost from the sofa. But when you're sitting at a desk, just a couple of feet from the screen, the monitor's sheer size and curve ups the immersion levels quite a bit, with the added benefit of the curve gently bringing the edges of the screen closer to view.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/584062f7ba6eb634008b70a1-2400" alt="Ultrawide monitor Interstellar" data-mce-source="Steven Tweedie" /><p class="source"><span>Steven Tweedie</span></p><p class="caption">"Interstellar" in 21:9 aspect ratio, without any black bars</p></div><p></p></div></div>When you find a movie that's available in this ultrawide format (it can be pretty hit or miss, but iTunes and Amazon Video have plenty), the lack of black bars is refreshing. For scenic movies like "The Lord of the Rings" or "Interstellar," the effect is visually arresting.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Unfortunately, as traditional widescreen displays in the 16:9 format are the most common, sources like Netflix won't extend to the edges of the screen, which results in a set of vertical black bars on each side. I find it a lot easier to ignore the black bars on the screen versus at the top and bottom, but it's still not ideal, and it's certainly something to factor in when considering dropping this amount of money.</span></p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/584062f6ba6eb605688b604a-2400" alt="Ultrawide monitor Westworld" data-mce-source="Steven Tweedie" /><p class="source"><span>Steven Tweedie</span></p><p class="caption">HBO's "Westworld," in 16:9 aspect ratio, with vertical black bars</p></div><p></p></div></div>Another thing to keep in mind is that movies and TV shows are increasingly available in 4K resolution, or 3880 by 2560 pixels, which favors the traditional 16:9 aspect ratio over 21:9. The LG <span>34UC98-W that I've been testing for the past few months features a 3880 by 1440 resolution, for example, so it's missing some of the vertical resolution of traditional 4K displays. There's still not a ton of movies and TV shows available at that resolution, however, and streaming a high resolution like that requires paying extra for Netflix, and, if you want uninterrupted playback, oftentimes a faster internet connection too.</span></p><p><span>But for those who have built up a library of movies on iTunes, or those willing to use some third-party software to get Blu-Rays to fill up the entire width of the screen, the most cinematic experience is still an ultrawide display. </span></p><h2><strong>Productivity: A multitasker's dream</strong></h2><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/584062f5ba6eb64e018b678b-2400" alt="Ultrawide monitor productivity" data-mce-source="Steven Tweedie" /><p class="source"><span>Steven Tweedie</span></p><p class="caption"> Slack, TweetDeck, and Google Chrome </p></div><p></p></div></div>I mostly tested LG's <span>34UC98-W monitor at work, using it as my daily driver to keep an eye on the news, communicate with the team on Slack, edit articles, and manage the appearance of the tech section. Usually, that would mean a lot of tabs and awkwardly re-sized windows if I want to split things up, but with an ultrawide display, you can enjoy multiple tabs open simultaneously at full-width.</span></p><p>This also eliminates the need for a multiple monitor setup, which I've always avoided due to my distaste for bezels and splitting my attention across two different screens, and there's no "mouse jump" where your cursor gets momentarily lost as you scroll across displays.</p><p><span><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/584062f4ba6eb637008b7056-2400/spotifyreddit.png" alt="Ultrawide monitor Spotify+Reddit" data-mce-source="Steven Tweedie" /><p class="source"><span>Steven Tweedie</span></p><p class="caption">Spotify and Reddit</p></div><p></p></div></div>Instead, it's just one central strip of real estate, and one that can be re-arranged to whatever task you're doing.</span></p><p>If you choose to go fullscreen though, you'll test the responsive design of whatever app or program you're using, and it usually means there's a lot of empty spaces.</p><p><span><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/584062f3ba6eb67d058b7030-2400" alt="Ultrawide monitor Spotify" data-mce-source="Steven Tweedie" /><p class="source"><span>Steven Tweedie</span></p></div><p></p></div></div></span></p><p><span><span>Creative professionals who work in video and photo editing will also be pleased to know the </span><span>LG </span><span>34UC98-W is an IPS display offering a sRGB color gambut of over 99%, along with a contrast ratio of 5 million to 1. In normal terms, that means highly accurate colors and an incredibly high level of detail.</span></span></p><h2>Gaming: An unparalleled window into virtual worlds</h2><p>Another area where the LG <span>34UC98-W shines is in gaming, where your field of view is expanded horizontally to give a seriously wide window into the game world. Combine that with the extra immersion of the curved display, and you'll be hard-pressed to find a better experience without making the jump <em>into </em>the game with a virtual reality headset.</span></p><p><span>When I purchased LG's older ultrawide model for at home, gaming wasn't a key factor in my decision, as I mostly use my Oculus Rift. But when testing out the <span>LG </span><span>34UC98-W, I played everything from "Overwatch" to "Grand Theft Auto V," and it's truly stunning. It's easy to ignore the screen's boarders with a screen this size, and with the high-resolution WQHD display, games look incredibly sharp.</span></span></p><p><span><span><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/5840645dba6eb602688b600c-2400" alt="Ultrawide monitor Overwatch" data-mce-source="Steven Tweedie" /><p class="source"><span>Steven Tweedie</span></p></div><p></p></div></div></span></span></p><p><span>Aside from the added immersion levels of the ultrawide aspect ratio, the expanded field of view can often give you a bit of competitive advantage depending on the game, as you can see when people are creeping up on you from the sides. Not all games allow this, but most modern games do, you'll just need to make sure you have a beefy enough computer to power the pixel-dense screen.</span></p><h2><strong><span>A luxury that's tough to forget</span></strong></h2><p><span>Nobody needs an ultrawide display like the <span>LG </span><span>34UC98-W, but once you try one, you'll want to keep it. Sure, you can flip between tabs or use multiple monitors to increase your screen real estate, but after getting used to having everything readily available at a glance, it's tough to return to a traditional widescreen. You get spoiled by the advantages it offers, and the disadvantages of other screens become more readily apparent.</span></span></p><p><span><span>The LG <span>34UC98-W retails for an eyebrow-raising $1199, which easily puts it into the luxury and professional power-user category. From the curved design to the pixel-rich screen, you're paying for some of the most cutting-edge display tech out there, which comes at a hefty premium.</span></span></span></p><p><span><span><span>If you're looking to splurge, however, you'll be hard-pressed to find a better computer screen. This thing is truly gorgeous, and I'm not looking forward to working without it.</span></span></span></p><p><span><span><span>You can take a deeper dive into the features and specs of the <span> </span><span>LG </span><span>34UC98-W, including where to buy it, <a href="http://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-34UC98-W-ultrawide-monitor">right here.</a></span></span></span></span></p>    <div class="margin-top">        <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/tips-to-make-iphone-battery-last-longer-2016-11">These crucial tips will make your iPhone battery last longer</a></h3>        <div>            <div>    <script src="http://player.ooyala.com/v3/6e12e8b3387a44daacfb73afba25a76e"></script>    <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="Zoc2cweToBgUOytG_bgfesxmVHNFbw0n" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div>    <script>    if (typeof RunFunctions === 'undefined') { var RunFunctions = []; }     RunFunctions.push(function()    {         var ooyalapopvideo = OO.Player.create('ooyalaplayer_popvideo', 'Zoc2cweToBgUOytG_bgfesxmVHNFbw0n',{ autoplay: 'false' });     });    </script>    <noscript><div>Please enable Javascript to watch this video</div></noscript></div>        </div>        <script>(function() { function createPlayer() { OO.ready(function() { RunFunctions.forEach(function(ooyalaFunction) { ooyalaFunction(); }); RunFunctions = [];}); } createPlayer(); }()); </script>    </div>

It competes with not just its rivals from Xiaomi, Samsung and others, but it is also close on the heels of its own siblings like the OnePlus Nord 2.<br /><br />With the sub-₹25,000 price segment getting crowded, it can get a little difficult to understand which smartphone offers the best value for money. In this comparison today, we take two new sub-₹25,000 smartphones, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G and the Realme 9 Pro+ 5G, to help you understand which one might be more suited to your needs.<br /><br />Let’s find out.<br /><br /><cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Price" comment="subhead" text="Price"><span data-til="noop">Price</span></cmsannotation><br /><br />The OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G is the more affordable smartphone of the two, starting at a price of ₹23,999 for the 6GB + 128GB version and ₹24,999 for the 8GB + 128GB version.<br /><br />The Realme 9 Pro+ 5G, on the other hand, starts at a price of ₹24,999 for the 6GB + 128GB version, ₹26,999 for the 8GB + 128GB version and ₹28,999 for the 8GB + 256GB version.<br /><br />The OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G does not come in a 256GB option.<br /><br /><cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Processor, RAM and storage" comment="subhead" text="Processor, RAM and storage"><span data-til="noop">Processor, RAM and storage</span></cmsannotation><br /><br />Both the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G and the Realme 9 Pro+ 5G are neck-to-neck when it comes to the processor – the Nord CE 2 5G is powered by the octa-core Dimensity 900 chipset, while the Realme 9 Pro+ 5G is powered by the octa-core Dimensity 920 chipset.<br /><br /><div type="image" title="composite_16451617278562" msid="89656918" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G and Realme 9 Pro+ 5G&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div><br /><br />The difference between the two is minor – the two Cortex A78 cores are clocked slightly higher on the Realme smartphone, at 2.5GHz versus 2.4GHz on the OnePlus.<br /><br />Apart from that, both phones offer up to 8GB of LPDDR4X memory. The storage on the Nord CE 2 5G is limited to 128GB, but it is of the same type – UFS 2.2 – as on the Realme, which offers up to 256GB storage.<br /><br />On the other hand, the OnePlus smartphone offers microSD card support which is missing on its Realme rival.<br /><br /><cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Display" comment="subhead" text="Display"><span data-til="noop">Display</span></cmsannotation><br /><br />Both the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G and the Realme 9 Pro+ 5G feature a 6.43-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with 90Hz refresh rate.<br /><br />There is one minor difference, though – while the Nord’s display supports HDR10+ for an enhanced visual experience, especially while watching videos, the Realme smartphone supports heart rate monitoring via the in-display fingerprint sensor.<br /><br /><cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Cameras" comment="subhead" text="Cameras"><span data-til="noop">Cameras</span></cmsannotation><br /><br />Both the smartphones feature triple camera setups on the back, but the sensors used are different.<br /><br /><div type="image" title="OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G" msid="89656891" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div><br />The OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G features a 64MP primary camera with electronic image stabilization (EIS), an 8MP ultrawide angle snapper and a 2MP macro camera.

It's a really nice selection of ports; there's plenty of connectivity for modern, new accessories thanks to the range of Thunderbolt ports, while those with older peripherals can still use them thanks to the USB 3.0 ports. The Ethernet port is upgradeable too - by default, it's a gigabit Ethernet port, but it can be upgraded to a hefty 10-gigabit port. With those ports, you can power up to three 4K displays, which should be more than enough for the vast majority of users.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In general, despite the fact that the <a href="https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=EHFxW6yx8Uo&amp;mid=38606&amp;u1=biip_031819_2018-mac-mini-product-review&amp;murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fsite%2Fapple-mac-mini-intel-core-i3-8gb-memory-128gb-solid-state-drive-space-gray%2F1107177.p" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mac mini</a> design has been around for a while, it's a good-looking device. We like the switch from Silver to Space Gray, as it helps ensure the device matches other Apple products. And we think it's a little more sleek too.</span></p><p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Read more</strong>: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-macbook-air-2018-review" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Apple increased the price for its newest MacBook Air by $200 - but I still think it's worth the money</a></span></em></p><h2><strong>The Mac mini's specs</strong></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Perhaps more important than design, of course, is what's under the hood, and the <a href="https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=EHFxW6yx8Uo&amp;mid=38606&amp;u1=biip_031819_2018-mac-mini-product-review&amp;murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fsite%2Fapple-mac-mini-intel-core-i3-8gb-memory-128gb-solid-state-drive-space-gray%2F1107177.p" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2018 Mac mini</a> is a beast. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The base model isn't all that special - it comes with an 8th-gen quad-core Intel Core i3 processor coupled with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of SSD storage. It's the upgraded models that are really powerful. You can upgrade the computer to offer up to an 8th-gen six-core Intel Core i7 processor, 64GB of RAM, and 2TB of storage. Of course, it'll cost a pretty penny to upgrade those specs - but if you're looking for power in a macOS computer, it's a good option.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The basic specs aren't the only important things to consider. The computer also has Apple's T2 security chip, which at times can act like a coprocessor for things like reading and writing files. </span></p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><a href="https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=EHFxW6yx8Uo&amp;mid=38606&amp;u1=biip_031819_2018-mac-mini-product-review&amp;murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fsite%2Fapple-mac-mini-intel-core-i3-8gb-memory-128gb-solid-state-drive-space-gray%2F1107177.p" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/5c8ffef65dfa99163c6fd67b-1200/mac mini.jpg" border="0" alt="mac mini" data-mce-source="Best Buy" /></a><p class="source"><span>Best Buy</span></p><p class="caption">On the back of the computer, you'll find two USB 3.0 ports, four Thunderbolt 3 ports, a HDMI port, a headphone jack, and an ethernet port.</p></div><p></p></div></div></p><h2><strong>What the Mac mini is like to use</strong></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Apple has paid very close attention to the efficiency of the computer too. Most of what we used the device for was pretty lightweight - writing articles in Google Docs, some basic image editing, and so on. At times, however, we were able to put the computer through some heavier use. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For example, I do freelance music mixing on the side, and routinely run audio editing programs with sometimes dozens of tracks at once and heavy processing on each of those tracks. The device was easily able to handle that - much more easily than the aging 2012 MacBook Pro I was using for that before getting the <a href="https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=EHFxW6yx8Uo&amp;mid=38606&amp;u1=biip_031819_2018-mac-mini-product-review&amp;murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fsite%2Fapple-mac-mini-intel-core-i3-8gb-memory-128gb-solid-state-drive-space-gray%2F1107177.p" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mac mini</a>. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We also did a little light video editing, and while the audio editing we did was probably heavier duty, the computer tore through the video editing easily, though, for heavier video editing you may need to get an <a href="https://amzn.to/2Y2xIIB" target="_blank" rel="noopener">external GPU</a>. </span></p><h2>Cons to consider</h2><p>Ultimately, the <a href="https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=EHFxW6yx8Uo&amp;mid=38606&amp;u1=biip_031819_2018-mac-mini-product-review&amp;murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fsite%2Fapple-mac-mini-intel-core-i3-8gb-memory-128gb-solid-state-drive-space-gray%2F1107177.p" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mac mini</a><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #222222; font-size: 15px;"> has a lot going for it. It's well-designed, boasting a ton of connectivity, plus it's pretty powerful. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #222222; font-size: 15px;">But what's the downside? Well, the main one is the price. The computer now comes in at $750 for the base model, which isn't cheap. Upgrade it, and you'll pay even more. Even despite the fact that the computer should last for at least four or five years, that's still a lot of money to pay for a computer with an i3 chip, not to mention the fact that you'll need to find a<span style="color: #333333;"> mouse, keyboard, and monitor separately</span>.</span></p><p><em><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #222222; font-size: 15px;"><strong>Read more</strong>: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/best-ultrawide-monitor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The best ultrawide monitors you can buy</a></span></em></p><h2><strong>The bottom line</strong></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">All things considered, this is still the best way to get into the macOS ecosystem on a budget.
