    No better than…

    My climb to the M1 chip has taken me longer than most. I went through two MacBook pros and three iPad pros before I finally traded up with some cash for my first M1. This Mac mini. I have to say that so far I’m not 100% satisfied. Sure, it boots faster than all the Macs before, but it lags and overloads the system when I’m recording in Logic Pro. So, when recording, the reason I bought this, it has done no better than my MacBook Pro w/ an intel i5 processor and 16gb RAM. So, to wrap it up, stick with your MBP or pony up for the Mac Studio. I will be using this to trade up as soon as I have the cash.

    I was very surprised in this! You can literally use any monitor or mouse of choice. Which was great for me because I like to customize my setup.

    It’s simply great it has some small issues but for what it does and other solutions for the issues it’s worth every penny, and for the issues Apple is fixing them as we speak

    So far so good, At the beginning I had an issue with my wireless keyboard not being recognized. I purchase a couple other keyboards and finally was able to set up my system. Other then that initial hiccup I have had no issues.

    The Mac mini M1 is perfect and meets my expectations. The purchase via BestBuy is absolutely terrible. I was told the product would be delivered the same evening and long story short it didn’t arrive for almost 2 weeks. Buy the Mini, but not from BestBuy.

    Even though the processing speed is very good but M1 chip has lot of restrictions in terms of creating and experimenting virtualization.Even though we have alternative approach using specific softwares but this presents with lot of pain and hassles.

    Tried to get by with a cheap PC mini and that’s what it was, cheap! A little pricey just to run a weather station but at least now it acts like a real computer.

    Compact and powerful. It is probably the cheapest Mac you can get nowaday, and I think it is definately worth the price just for the M1 chip.

    Wasn’t aware that many Mac apps don’t yet work on the Mac Mini with Apple processor chips. Make sure to check compatibility of your apps first.
