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.

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

Excellent computer for photo and video editing. Or if you just want a mac to use with existing monitor etc. Dead quiet and even under extreme load its not hot. M1 really blows me away it beats my $2000 gaming PC in single thread performance. Really excited to see this platform age.

The new M1 Mac Mini is excellent! It runs fast, everything is a mere half second pop up of launch. Even my internet seems faster on this thing. Apps just work, the M1 really is faster like Apple says, it works wonders. I haven't felt any heat from the Mac Mini at all, it's always cold. I only feel a little less cold when it's been on for a while. This is a great buy, you will not be disapointed. In fact I've seen people do benchmarks with the new M1 in the Mac mini and it beats Intel core i3, i5, and even i7. The i9 and xeon are the only ones that can beat the M1 in benchmarks. I don't know comparisons on AMD to M1 though. Overall the best Mac mini Apple has ever made!

If you are looking for a fast computer at an affordable price, look no further. This computer is amazing, everything app opens instantaneously. I thought that I would probably need more ram, boy was I surprised. Apple really hit it out of the park with their M1 chip. 8gb of Rams is more than enough memory. They only quirk I see in this computer is the HD size. For that you have a fix, you can always use an external hard drive or a NAS. With that your problem will be solved and you will never run out of space on your Mac mini M1

If you are looking for an Apple desktop at a reasonable price, look no further. Fast web browsing, Netflix, Youtube. Extremely fast wifi speeds - connects fast as my hard wired computer does. 8g of memory works fine for what I do with this. It is a pleasure to use my computer again.

So far, this Mac has been a joy to use. I exchanged the smaller model (8GB/256GB) for this one because I kept running out of memory with the smaller model (I do music production). I would say that this is the minimum model to buy for anyone who wants to get their feet wet in the M1 chip. This chip has amazing potential and I already see amazing speed improvements over its Intel predecessors.

Amazing and capable little machine. WIth just 8gb of RAM, I have been able to compile code very quickly and multitask with no problems. I decided to upgrade to 16gb because of what I plan to do with it in the future, but you can get all of your work done with just the 8gb version. 11/10 definitely recommend.
