The brand new M1 Mac mini is amazing, no two ways about it. And its quickly turned into my main home computer. But the most striking version of the device in my opinion is actually the cheapest one.
And here's why you should buy one!

I purchased one and upgraded to the 16 gigs of memory... I just set it up this week. I added a Satechi dock for more ports on the front.…And an external hard drive to supplement the 256 gig hard drive that came on it. This is my first Mac operating system-based desktop and I love it. There’s a little bit of a learning curve since I’ve been working with Windows based systems my whole life but it has not been difficult to figure it out over the last few days. The price point is great...even with the memory upgrade it’s still under a $1,000.

Agree. My MacBook Pro needs a repair, so I bought the cheapest Mini so I could still work. I'm only using Photoshop, Illustrator, and Premiere, for professional projects. I've had all three apps bog down for simple things that my MacBook that's 4 years older does with ease. I'm thinking the problem is just because the Adobe suite isn't M1 native yet, but I wouldn't risk it and go with the 16gb version.

Despite being nearly a decade old and working flawlessly the entire time the iMac couldn't run Big Sur so it was time for something new. The M1 Mini had a first-week USB-C compatibility issue that was fixed with a quick firmware update to the external drive.

@@rebelsdeveloper367 I’ve got the 2020 27” iMac with kick a s s graphic card 16gb vram. Cyberpunk is unplayable. Crashes regularly in boot camp. Actually Mac OS crashes regularly too if CPI heats up. Don’t buy!
