A lot of the initial complaints like bluetooth issues and various compatibility issues have mostly been worked out with software updates. I haven't experienced any issues with mine. One thing to consider is that if you can spare the extra few hundred bucks, you can get the Macbook air and then just connect it to a monitor and wireless keyboards via USB-C hub and get the best of both worlds.

I really wish Apple would come back to reality on the component upgrade prices. You are over $1k if you opt for a 16/512 mini, and approaching $1,500 for an Air, which is pretty steep.

The m1 uses unified memory so the ram, cpu, gpu and other components are part of the same chip allowing for much faster read/writes to memory. Don't think user upgradable is even possible here. Plus with how fast it is, I've read the 8gb performs as well as a 16gb machine in the x86 architecture. Remember apple ios devices have a lot less memory than the competition but apple devices always blow away the competition in performance.
