we don't need to post every single macrumors article about the Mac mini.

lol, in the example promo photo the third very expensive monitor is used to show a flyer promoting the music creation event being depicted. Great use case.

I feel like having a file explorer and web browser open on a different monitor when producing music is fairly typical

three 6k monitors is far from the realitty of 99,999999% of users

I use four monitors for my WFH setup with a total of 11.8m pixels. Three 6k monitors is 37.3m pixels, more than three times what I've got. I'd be seriously considering this if I could run all four, but for now the hackintosh lives on.

And? It's clearly a feature for professionals. 3 4k monitors is currently a pain in the ass and does get used in business.

even for professionals is too much. Few ones needs three 6k monitor

Honestly, even 3 isn’t enough at times and I’m not doing anything crazy. Mostly Chrome, Teams, WhatsApp (ugh), Outlook, and Excel (god, so much excel).

Does your monitors have 6K resolution too?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

And yet you've somehow run into someone provisioning similar setups on Lemmy. Maybe apple knows their use base better than you think.

So the new Mac Mini can do more than most people need for a cheaper price than most people would expect.

Sounds awesome!
