My new trading set-up using Mac Mini M1

Are you planning to upgrade your trading set-up? Like buying a new laptop or desktop? In this video, I will share with you my new trading set-up. Pero bago yan, let's roll the intro para magmukhang pro. Kung ikaw ay nagbabalik sa channel na to maraming salamat sa iyo at kung ikaw naman ay bago.. consider subscribing and paki pindot na din ang all notification bell para updated ka sa mga upcoming videos natin.

Back to the video, so if you are planning to upgrade your trading setup, please watch this video till the end. Dahil ang i share ko sa iyo ngayon might help you decide what to buy without breaking your bank account.

Actually, matagal na akong gusto mag upgrade ng trading setup, dahil ang gamit kong pang trading ay ang aking 10-year old 13-inch dell Inspiron Core I3 laptop. Ang purpose ko sa laptop na yon when I bought it 10 years ago was for my content writing sa aking boxing blog ang theboxingdiary.com. Kung hindi nyo naitanong 10 years na po akong nag ba blog at ang hilig kong topic ay boxing so you can check in the description box the link to my boxing website baka gusto ninyong silipin.

For the same purpose, no doubt I can still use the same old laptop, but repurposing this same old laptop for my trading setup ay medyo struggling ako. Two years ago pa ako gustong mag upgrade no-ong mag start ako mag stocks trading. Pero, I'm stuck sa pag decide to buy a laptop or a desktop and then I'm also undecided to shift to mac environment or stick sa nakasanayang windows operating system.

But this year, I ultimately made up my mind and bought the all-new M1 Mac Mini base model with 8GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. And here are the reasons why I bought the M1 Mac Mini.

1. The price point - I'm no expert tech reviewer here pero sa tingin ko ang M1 Mac mini ang pinakamurang product released by apple if you want to shift to mac environment. Matagal ko na gustong mag mac actually noon.. noon pa pero alam mo naman premium talaga pricing ng mac. I always go to something that will not break my bank account but still capable to to do the same job I wanted it to do.

The Mac Mini M1, 8GM, 256GB storage base model costs 699 USD, which is around 33 to 35,000 Philippine Peso. The price was the big deciding factor sa pagbili ko ng MAC mini dahil ang plano kung bilhin na specs, just enough to handle my trading and little video editing requirements for this channel is at least 8GB Ram, 6GB Graphics, Core I5 or I7 and then either desktop or laptop.

With the above-mentioned specification requirements ang price is between 300 to 400 KWD or 50 to 60,000 Philippine pesos. No brainer pagdating sa price di ba? So Mac Mini na ako. Then what about the processing power? Well, that's reason number 2.

2. Performance or processing power - as mentioned above my requirement is at least 8GB Ram, 6GB Graphics, Core I5 or I7 which will handle well my trading setup and video editing requirements. Hindi siya overkill pero hindi naman struggling to handle these requirements. So, ang specs ba na yan ay napapantayan or nahihigitan ng MAC mini base model? After two weeks of using M1 MAC Mini I can say that it meets and even surpasses the performance that I wanted. Lalong lalo na guys sa video rendering dahil alam nyo ba pag gumawa ako ng stocks screening using calma strategy video that's between 45 to 50 minutes long it will take also around 30 to 45 minutes to render and get the output from my editing software sa luma kong computer. Sa Mac mini its between 7 to 10 minutes lang. Para sa aking mabilis ang MAC Mini M1 guys dahil ang chip nito ay gawa na mismo ng Apple. at din na cla kumuha pa ng chip from AMD or Intel kaya nakapag presyo cla ng mura.

3. Portability - Mostly, nasa bahay lang naman ako gumagamit ng computer sa pag trade or video editing. So hindi ko kailangan dalhin ang computer ko here in there. Pero if there's a need to move around with my system, I can still move aroundf with my M1 Mac mini dahil maliit lang naman ito. I can bring the peripherals like a small keyboard a mouse and an ipad as monitor using sidecar utility. the only burden is power supply requirement.

4. Immediate use out from the box - since meron na akong wireless keyboard, mouse at monitor sa bahay from my previous trading set-up, I do not need to buy these things now in order to use my M1 Mac Mini. So from the box, I just connected it to these already available peripherals and start using my new mac mini.

So guys what are your thoughts? Are you ready to make that big decision to upgrade your trading setup? Let me know sa comments section.

Thank you so much for watching, I hope this video helped you decide what to buy.
