Top Games For Mac Mini

Hp officejet 200 mobile printer driver for mac. The Editor's Choice Apple Mac Mini (2018) is finally back, and it's better than ever, with a new look, rock-solid performance, and even a bit of upgradability. This is the 1st major price cut yet.

Editor's note: We ran this piece first in August shortly after the 2018 MacBook Pro was announced. Given that the new Mac mini and MacBook Air have Thunderbolt 3 ports, we've revised the piece to reflect that, and to refine data on a few choices. In short, an eGPU enclosure allows you to connect a powerful PCI-E graphics card to your Thunderbolt 3-equipped Mac in macOS High Sierra, and the forthcoming Mojave. Some are just the card, and some have additional connectivity. Of the 13 enclosures we've tested over the, we have a few favorites. And, if you're like us, you can use the eGPU on your Mac to work during the day, and connect it to a Thunderbolt 3-equipped Windows PC for other purposes. But before we get going, a reminder that the 18-inch cable that comes with the enclosures is useless.

They work, but they are universally just too short to be useful. Plan on spending for a longer, high-speed cable. Best for high power video cards Sonnet eGFX Breakaway Box 650 Sonnet wasn't first to market with an eGPU case, but they were the first one anointed by Apple —and remain so. Sonnet's enclosure was used to demonstrate the technology at the 2017 WWDC, and was included in Apple's bundle that was sold to developers to get them on-board with the technology. There are a number of Sonnet eGPU enclosures now, but the best one is the Sonnet 650 with the beefier power supply. That enclosure, like the Razer, can take the cards that demand the most power like the Vega 64, and if you're adventurous, workstation cards or the Nvidia 1080ti.

The Sonnet eGFX Breakaway Box 650. Other units with lighter power supplies suitable for the Vega 56 and RX580, and possibly less charging support for the connected MacBook Pro. Razer Core X Razer is a big name in PC gaming, and has recently decided to explicitly support Apple with some of its products, the Razer Core X being the most notable one. Core X is the first of Razer's Core eGPU lineup to feature Mac support, and sits below the Core V2 on the company's product totem pole. The enclosure sports a beefy 650-watt ATX power supply, up from the custom 500-watt slim form factor PSU found in the Core V2.

To install a GPU, users simply slide the component drawer out from the aluminum chassis, pop a compatible card into the PCIe slot and lock it down with a thumb screw. No tools are required for installation. The Sonnet is a bit quieter than the Razer high-power eGPU is, but the Razer Core X is easier to get in and out of. It's really up to you which is more important.

Best eGPU for connectivity Mantiz Venus MZ-02 The $379 Mantiz MZ-02 eGPU enclosure has five USB 3.0 type A ports, a Gigabit Ethernet port, and a 2.5-inch mounting plate for a SATA drive. It can accommodate PCI-E cards needing up to 375W, and provides a full 87W of charging power back to the connecting computer, assuming it hasn't been adapted to an older version of Thunderbolt.

The unit can accommodate cards up to 310mm long, 140mm high, and 50mm deep meaning that it will fit most of the larger cards on the market. It is the most stylish of all of the enclosures we've reviewed, and fits right in to a professional environment. The aluminum enclosure is constructed well, and finished precisely. The Mantiz Venus MZ-02 eGPU enclosure retails for $399, but is generally offered.

If you're looking at a dock, you can get the Mantiz eGPU instead for not much more money. A choice of just two eGPUs for USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 displays Blackmagic eGPU Accompanying the refreshed MacBook Pros in 2017, Blackmagic worked with Apple to develop an all-in-one unit, which sports an AMD Radeon Pro 580 GPU with 8 gigabytes of memory, plus four USB-A ports. The unit is an all-in-one design, which means that it is non-upgradable. The tradeoff, however, is that the unit is built to be quiet and have a smaller footprint than general-purpose eGPU enclosures.
