Computer Change of Plans

I had decided to get rid of my 2015 Macbook Pro and get a 2018 Mac Mini instead.  My plans changed due to some issues with the Mac Mini.  The biggest issue I had was that I could not connect the new Mac Mini out of the box to my existing monitors.  Apple changed something in the boot process and the resolution that the adapter used during the boot process for the HDMI interface would not connect to my existing monitors.  I was able to get around that by connecting the Mini to a TV in my office but I really did not want to have to run a cable across the room every time I needed to reboot the Mac Mini.  What a pain.  I have now read about others with similar issues that have had some success using a USB-C to DVI Adapter and connecting there instead but I decided that I didn't want to deal with it and sent the Mac Mini back.  I am just going to upgrade the storage on my MacBook Pro and keep using it for a while.
