What's Up Guys: Checking Out a Really Cool Accessory for the Mac Mini

Hey guys, it's smiles here at 905 Mac and today we're gonna be checking out a really cool accessory for the Mac Mini and in my opinion one of the best made for the Mac Mini thus far. First off, let's talk about why I love this accessory so much. Have you ever found yourself stuck with your iPhone on an Apple logo? Yeah, it can be super frustrating. Luckily, there's a solution called Inner Shares Reboot that not only fixes this problem but also offers some amazing features.

All you have to do is connect your iOS device to your Mac and instantly gain access to awesome features like entering or exiting recovery mode with just one click. That feature alone seems cool enough, but what really sets this thing apart is the array of repair features it comes with. Reboot can help fix all sorts of problems with your iPhone and even recover your iOS installation back to normal without any data loss. It's also possible to downgrade from an iOS beta using this tool.

In addition to its impressive list of features, Inner Shares Reboot has a sleek design that makes everyday usability a breeze. Having to move my desk off the wall just to manage ports on the Mac Mini's backside can get really annoying, but with this accessory, I can eliminate all that frustration. It's the perfect accessory for the Mac Mini and comes in a range of colors.

This particular accessory is from Satechi and offers six extra ports that make it an essential tool for any power user. Three USB 3.0 ports, one USB C port, a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack, a full-size SD card slot, and a micro SD card slot are all included in this amazing hub. What really sets it apart is the placement of these ports - they're not just about being there; they're placed to enhance usability.

The construction of this accessory is also noteworthy. It's made from aluminum or another durable material, and there's even a little indent on the Mac Mini that allows for proper fitting and gives it an "MIni Pro" look. This hub is powered by a single USBC cable that fits neatly into the back of the Mac Mini.

One of the things I really like about this accessory is its smart design. It's not just a simple USB hub; it also features a fan inside to keep the Mac Mini cool and quiet, ensuring smooth performance without any overheating issues or random disconnections from USB devices. In fact, my testing so far has shown that there have been zero issues with this hub.

However, one drawback is that you can't use the ports for charging - they're only intended for data transfer. While I could find it a bit nitpicky, I wouldn't let that stop me from buying this accessory.

What really got my gears turning was thinking about what would happen if this accessory were designed as a Thunderbolt 3e GPU. Can you imagine how incredible that would be? Of course, there are several variables to consider - like having a proprietary graphics card and a taller chassis for better cooling, possibly requiring an external power source. However, it's not entirely impossible.

If that were possible, I think this accessory would truly revolutionize the Mac Mini. Just imagine being able to combine its six ports with a high-performance GPU. It would be amazing! And let's not forget how great it already is - for just under $700, you get an incredible hub and potentially top-of-the-line performance.

So what can you expect from this accessory? Well, first off, if you have a Mac Mini and consider yourself a power user or enjoy editing videos, this is a no-brainer purchase. It's essentially like treating yourself to a new toy that will make your life easier in the long run. The links for purchasing it are included in our description below.
