Mac mini Desktop - Apple M1 chip - 8GB Memory - 512GB SSD (Latest Model) - Silver

All in all, it is a great fast machine. I use it for photo editing and seems to be able to keep up as well as my RTX 2080 machine, at least in photo editing. Great for browsing content and Apple silicon applications! The good: + It's fast and snappy + MacOS Big Sur is a joy to use (IMHO) + You can photo edit + Legacy Applications work! I am even able to get homebrew working using Rosetta 2 + Super fast on time when sleeping + Able to host an iMessage Server to have it on my Android device Some things I wasn't to fond of was: - I really wish the 16GB model was here. 8GB isn't enough - Although Rosetta 2 is great with the Legacy Intel Applications, they sometimes will freeze (only have happened 3 times in 3 weeks of everyday use) and use a lot more memory compared to the Apple Silicon apps. - Bluetooth connectivity to my keyboard and trackpad will sometimes disconnect. But not enough to where I am annoyed, but should be mentioned. I would recommend it. I think to, most of these issues are just small bugs that will hopefully be fixed in upcoming updates.

Love it so much. I will be buying the next one that comes out as well. If this is the M1 chip, I cannot wait until M1X or whatever is coming next!

The Mac mini is great it was small and powerful great for games and work it is very fast and quiet for its size but it had problems connecting to more than 2 devices it has a bit of problems but it’s the best computer I have ever had used

I absolutely love this mac, I've always wanted one and I'm really glad I waited for this one, I may decide to upgrade it to the 16gb 512gb but until I decide I will be very happy with this purchase.

I love it. My Mac mini connected to my Samsung monitor with ease. I actually YouTube an instructional video and had my computer going in 30 minutes

I am very happy with the new Mini Mac 2020! Bought my own keyboard and monitor for long term investment without spending extra money for future upgrades. This Mac is powerful and affordable. Probably the best value for your money if you want a Mac computer for home use.

Really like my new Mac mini M1, it is really fast and I'm able to do all my work on it and that includes video editing with Davinci Resolve, man it was rendering a 20 mini video at 280fps and that includes some Fiarlight some audio processing plugins added, the heaving edited parts with title animations averages about 25fps unbelievable speed. Everything else works great. Note: Don't put your Mac Mini under a metal monitor stand or it will kill the Wifi and Bluetooth and you'll have problems if your using a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. I got the MX Keys for Mac and the Logitech Triathlon mouse and both of these work with Windows as well, but switching the MX keys between Mac and Windows does not work very well for me. 8GB of ram is plenty and it only writes to swap space went using Davinci and having other programs open and it doesn't slow down, some people complain this will shorten the life of the SSD drive, but I check how long it will last if the Mini is writing to swap and the suggestion was between 10 to 12 years so probably I will be upgrading long before that happens who know. All the software runs great except for Cubase 11 which is un-usable BUT I know Steinberg will fix it and it should be smoking fast after that hopefully. P.S. Cubase 10.5 works from what I read on blogs. I use Logic Pro as well because Cubase and Logic are both two awesome tool and they go hand in hand for me and I love the AI drummer, I've written a lot of songs with Logic and the AI drummer and it's fantastic. So would I recommend the Mac mini M1 oh ya without hesitation go for it. It is a sweet, sweet machine and runs fast and cool and doesn't make any noise. Thanks for reading this, hope it helps you out. God Bless

Great bang for your buck! The new M1 chip really is incredibly powerful. Set up is very easy; however you will need to additionally purchase a keyboard, mouse and monitor (if you don't already have one). If you already have an apple computer that you are upgrading from the transition is very easy and seamless. You can copy everything from your old Mac to this one very easily and quickly. This computer never has gotten to hot with with everything I've thrown at it, nor has it ever gotten loud. It runs incredibly quietly. If you want an exceptional Mac desktop (also very easily portable), with the new M1 chip, small footprint, and an incredible low price than this computer is certainly for you. Even at just 8gb of ram the new M1 chip makes all the difference and you will not experience any lag while working with multiple programs and windows open.
